If someone else like Tim Sale or or perhaps even Steve McNiven would re-do it, i think i would be ten times better. Watchmen is (partially) as fantastic as it is because of Dave Gibbons incredible artwork, and would suffer if done otherwise. Am I alone on this?

I miss the snub of Arkham Asylum, by Grant Morrison... easily my favorite Batman story.

Are you guys gonna make a vertigo version

What about crisis on infinite earth. Or any of those. Do they not count as graphic novels

So I’m just now getting into reading graphic novels and the first 2 I bought are “V for Vendetta” and “Watchmen” I want to get “The Killing Joke” next. Do I need to read any other Batman comics prior to “The Killing Joke” to understand it? Or can I start there?

Hi. You dont really need to read them in a specific order... But heres a bunch I would recommend for Batman (in order) Batman: Year One Batman: The Long Halloween Batman: Dark Victory Batman: Death in the Family Batman: The Killing Joke Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

Is it just me, or is Identity Crisis overlooked on these lists. That story while not as intense on the "super" aspects if The Justice League, is brutally a brutally real look at how being heroes affects their private lives. Awesome novel.

Other honorable mentions: A League of One, Hiketeia, JL New Frontier.

Gave All star Superman as a birthday gift to a friend.Morrisons writing kicks ass.;)

I WAS reading Watchmen in college as my pop read book, but it had sticky pages and I accidentally damaged trying to separate two of them.

10. JLA tower of bable 9. Flash rebirth 8. Teen titans the judas contract 7. Batman the killing joke 6. Green lantern the sinestro corps war 5. All star superman 4. Superman red son 3. Batman the dark knight returns 2. Kingdom come 1. Watchmen

Last music if from Koyaanisqatsi written by Philip Glass. Weird in a comic film. :)

I'm glad that I scrolled through the comments not seeing anyone fighting over whose better and has better movies.

Yes: "Kingdom Come" 1 & 2 -Impressive alt storyline. "The Killing Joke" - OUTSTANDING.

You guys got the info about Watchmen flipped. Alan Moore wanted to use the established characters but DC didn't want him to use them in such a dark story. If you find the list of characters he wanted, you'll see that each Watchmen is similar.

What about Batman Court of owls,Superman American Alien,DC universe rebirth and Flashpoint

Even though it was recent, I think Injustice should have gotten a spot on this list. It may not be a classic, but it is an intense and extremely entertaining series. If not that, I think Flashpoint would have deserved a spot.

I was going to flip absolute fucking shit if Watchmen hadn't made the list. Good on you Watchmojo.

Aw I was hoping to see a shoutout to birthright in there

What about crisis on infinite earths, death in the family, the new frontier, death of superman, and flashpoint.

Could be either. A Graphic Novel Is a stand alone original story, usually 2 to 3 times larger than a normal comic. If the material has been compiled into a single volume from a run in a comic series or a complete mini series, it is a Trade Paperback or Hardcover. If the material is taken in part from various sources and compiled into a new publication, it is an Anthology. At least in terms of the comic book industry. So their inclusion Dark Knight, Teen Titans, Watchmen are not correct.

Trying to sell product by lumping them in the same section with similar items is not the same as creating a misleading title for a video where you claim to be discussing one specific format and then throw in everything that's put into a big book. And sounding smart is nothing I have to try to do, especially on KZread.

No _Secret Six_? Gail Simone's villain book is in my Top 10 and need to be recognize. She actually made Cat Man cool!

When a kid reads Avengers he wants to be a superhero. But then he reads Watchmen and realises it's not worth it. He realises that death is how you save and that can destroy you. Goddamn what a masterpiece!

Wait not even a mention of Arkham Asylum:A Serious House on Serious Earth? Watchmojo, what the actual hell.

once again Watchmen and Batman Dark Knight Returns remain the top 2 of DC Comics. Also, I'm glad that Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? was on the list.

Serious House on Serious Earth is one of my favorites.

I'd adjust the order a bit, but yes good choices.

God I love Watchmen. Both the novel and the movie.

superman red son should have been on there for sure it's so good and it has one of the best portrayals of batman as head of the Russian army

6:07-Oh my gosh. My all time favorite story in all of comics. Kingdom Come!!!! My favorite version of my favorite superhero. The Kingdom and Kingdom Come.
