I would also recommend: -Locke & Key -Sandman -Deathnote -Animal Man (Jeff Lemire run) -Arkham A Serious House on Serious Earth -Goodnight Pun Pun -One Piece -The Flowers of Evil -Vinland Saga -Uzumaki (Junji Ito) All of these series have at one point or another helped me through a difficult time or in some specific cases, literally changed my outlook on things. I wouldn't be reading comics if it wasn't for Sandman showing me that they can be intellectually challenging works of art. Deathnote helped me shape my understanding of right and wrong as well as introduced me to the world of manga and anime. Uzumaki showed me that anything can be scary, even a natural geometric concept, it all depends on the skill of the writer to show you the fear in everyday life. Goodnight Pun Pun showed me how to deal with easily the darkest time in my childhood and how to move on from that trauma. All of the stories have been instrumental in shaping me as a person and when I'm old enough and want to start a family I will introduce them to my kids. I strongly believe that this medium is incredibly powerful thanks to its accessibility and I'm thankful for all the creators that go the extra mile to craft stories that can change people's hearts.

Great video and a truly diverse list. Love seeing the best era of Uncanny Xmen by Chris Claremont on your list, which is always a requirement. I've heard of DC's Starman comic enough times in the past 10 to 15 years to be curious, but now man, you've sold it to me. I can feel it means a lot to you and I would like to track down Starman, in tpbs if they ever release them again in reprints. I'll try to list some of my favorite graphic novels/tpbs of runs and mini series- in no particular order: - Watchmen - Uncanny Xmen by Claremont (especially Dark Phoenix saga, God Loves, Mutant Massacre, X-Tinction Agenda) - Daredevil run by Frank Miller & Klaus Jansen & DD Born Again. - Spider Man Kraven's Last Hunt arc - Y the Last Man - Kingdom Come (DC)- the greatest elseworlds story from DC easily, imo. - Green Lantern run by Geoff Johns as a whole, is brilliant. But my personal favorite GL story is BLACKEST NIGHT. It is my absolute favorite DC event in main continuity. Hands down. I can always go back to reading blackest night and find new panels and pages that truly inspire. Such amazing art by Ivan Reis. :) - Batman No Mans Land crossover and Scott Snyder's Batman stories like Black Mirror, The Court of Owls and Death of the Family.(yep, combining various arcs from Batman who has had like 55,000 stories..I'm kind of cheating adding in more than one Batman story as one entry. rofl) - Annihilation event and Nova series by DnA. Also adding in Annihilation Conquest six parts. - Captain America vol 5 by Ed Brubaker. The best Cap comic run of all time, bar none. Made me love Steve Rogers more than I ever did in the past, from the 80s & 90s comics. Made me love Bucky Barnes, Falcon and Natasha/black widow a bit more, too. It was outstanding up until issue 615 ish. Honorable mentions: Akira Irredeemable by Mark Waid Saga of Swamp Thing Batman the Killing Joke Batman Hush Daredevil by Brubaker and the DD Bendis run(which I need to get BOTH omnibus' and finally read this great DD run in its entirety); Xmen Age of Apocalypse saga (because it's just a milestone amazing event and pure nostalgia greatness for me) Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender Astonishing Xmen by Joss Whedon Avengers by Kurt Busiek & George Perez omnibus vol 1 (especially the best Ultron story ever #19-22) Young Avengers vol 1 Maus Wow..I really just can't name 10, huh!

They are a significant and impactful art form all on their own.

Excellent list. I never read some of those like Maus. There are some major books that I just haven't read yet. I can only give my list based on the things I've actually read. If we're talking non omnibus collected editions, and only one volume, then in no particular order: 1. Justice by Krueger, Braithwaite, and Ross (probably my all time favorite comic) 2. Superman For All Seasons by Loeb and Sale (probably the most human-ifying Superman origin) 3. Aquaman: The Others by Johns and Reis (everything it did for Aquaman and Manta) 4. Long Halloween (ultimate crime/mystery thriller) 5. Green Arrow by Lemire and Sorrentino (some of the best comics I've ever read) 6. Saga of the Swamp Thing vol. 1 by Moore and Bissette (made me a lifelong ST fan) 7. a tie between Batman: Year One and Daredevil: The Man Without Fear (both written by Frank Miller) 8. I'm gonna including DC Universe: Rebirth #1 (Wally's quest and hug with Barry was single greatest moment in comics in 2016) 9. Superman: Secret Origin by Johns and Frank (my other favorite) 10. Green Lantern: Rebirth by Johns and van Sciver Honorable mentions: 1. Immortal Hulk Deluxe Ed. vol. 1 (is making me a Hulk fan, want to get vol. 2) 2. Flash vol. 3: Gorilla Warfare (a wonderful cap to a great 3 volume story) I actually had to stop reading Watchmen about halfway through because I hated it. I couldn't follow it, was confused, and somewhat bored. I did really like the movie though.

Great great list. You aren't the only one that has told me that about Watchmen. My cohost Maddie isn't a fan either.

Thanks for this!!!!

Thank YOU for watching. :)

Wow, I was suprised that Transmetropolitan was not on that list. That series is amazingly good. Same with Preacher. I have read Sandman, Transmetropolitan, and Preacher so many times. They never get old. The dark Tower series is awesome and I love the artwork in those Graphic novels.

It is a difficult list to put together.

@@NearMintCondition For sure. I can come up with the first 5 of my top ten easy, after that is becomes much more difficult.

I've only been reading comics for less than a year and don't get much free time to do so but Planetary and Locke and Key are what I couldn't put down.
