Omar, it always amazes me how you find time to discover and read graphic novels from outside the mainstream. Also, how you maintain your love for the medium considering how much you do read. I'm thankful for your sharing of these stories.

The Twilight Man looks like fun. God Loves, Man Kills is one I've been wanting to pick up for a while.

These are my favorite types of videos thank you for the content sir

Made me so happy to hear that Jeff Lemire's art is growing on you. I agree that his art would be ill-suited for most cape and cowl comics, but for his indie creative owned stuff his art fits because it leads with heart over technique. Great list,

Love this video - thank you so much for these recs!!

Every year I find something new from these videos. Thank you so much.

Thanks for this. I love stand-alones! just in time to buyt myself a christmas gift. I actually just went to look up Killing and Dying and realised I read it last year through my local library. For some reason I forgot the title but it's a great collection. I am definitely going to look up more from Tomine.

Two brothers is a fantastic comic. For those who gree up reading latinamerican novels from 60-70s will notice that exhuberant spirit, chaotic family ties and intense personalities. Great recommendation Omar!

The best video of the year!

Thank u for this list Omar, deffo going on a shopping spree now

Love this series, thanks for the recommendations Omar!

Love these standalone graphic novel videos! Another good list

I love that God Lives, Man Kills and Seconds made the list! Happy Thanksgiving Omar & Melanie and all your family! Happy Thanksgiving, Minties!!!!!

I could not be more excited for this video!!!❤❤❤❤

I've been waiting for this list, happy Thanksgiving.

Love these videos!

V for Vendetta like most Alan Moore comics is really hard to understand and requires multiple readings as well. As a lot of slang Moore uses towards the end, but it is probably my favorite Alan moore story

Love your content.keep up the great work

Great list.... ....where's the End League

This is a great list of books! I’ve read a few of them and now I want to read all the others! Thanks Omar👍🏼

Thank you; always much appreciated :)

Loved the list, 3 of those are not on my shelves so I'll be definitely checking them out.

Another great list. I love watching these top 10 videos. It'd be great to see an updated list for the top 10 Dark Horse, IDW, & Image graphic novels

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family brother. Nothing like a good book to read during the holidays.

Nice film

I've already got THE TWILIGHT MAN and re-purchased V FOR VENDETTA to give it another chance (both on your recommendation), and just ordered KILLING AND DYING and FUN HOME, two books I've been aware of for a long time but resisted buying. I knew Adrian Tomine back in his early mini-comix days, and have liked everything I've read by him since. Also bought TWO BROTHERS after reading DAYTRIPPER, and though it does look much different, it looks great. The art has hints of Jose Munoz. Overall, a great list!

Maus is my all time favorite stand alone graphic novel! Just beautiful and heartbreaking.

Happy Thanksgiving Omar

Love V for Vendetta - always have. Mind you, living in the UK is a factor !

You could say that most of the Brubaker / Philips books can be mentioned here as they release most of their stories in graphic novel format.

Graphic Novels: Rocking your world since 1978!

Lemire rules. Not the biggest fan of his art, but the stories he whites, oh my gosh! I think is top 5 writers in 21st century. And I love you put V from vendetta there, I find doesn't have the same love than other Moore books, but is fantastic.

Just read watchman for university

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Some of my favorite standalones: Ministry of Space - Warren Ellis, Chris Weston Outpost Zero - Sean McKeever, Alexandre Terenkgi Through the Woods - Emily Carroll I Kill Giants - J.M. Ken Niimura, Joe Kelly The Life Eaters - David Brin, Scott Hampton The American Way - John Ridley, Georges Jeanty The Surrogates - Robert Venditti, Brett Weldele Ghost World - Daniel Clowes The Griff - Christopher Moore, Ian Corson Motel Art Improvement Service - Jason Little Nimona - N.D. Stevenson The Park Bench - Christophe Chabouté Sentient - Jeff Lemire, Gabriel Hernandez Walta

I love all the indies on this list! Though I did think your list was referring to GNs that came out this year.

I watch Twilight Zone every new year's day as well thanks to the sci-fi channel marathons from back in the day. Thank you for the recommendations, never even heard of Twilight Man and I'm a huge Rod Serling fan.

Didn't know about Twilight Man, definitely buying it! I'm huge fan of Twilight Zone, have the blu ray set as well. My daughter is only 2 months old, but I can't wait to introduce it to her once she's older.

Great list Omar, for me this year my favorite standalone story that I have read would have to be Do A Powerbomb by Daniel Warren Johnson, just a great story I feel you get a little more out of the story if you are a wrestling fan, but it is not necessary to enjoy this book.

Real question - where’d you get that X-Men hoodie from? Looks dope!

Just read understanding comics, great read, it goes really deep into what comics actually are.

Would love a God Loves Man Kills deluxe edition to get printed!

Is there a difference between this year's Seconds vs the one published years back?

I recommend Ballad for Sophie and Always never. The best of the comic medium has to offer in my opinion.

I think Wendy master of art is a masterpeace of crazy humour, just read it at my lybrary 😅😅😅😅😅😅

GLMK!!!!!

Seconds is going to be a movie with Blake lively, I hope they do it justice.

V for Vendetta is one of my favorite movies of all time. I've read the comic afterwards and it didn't click. Probably I was too young as well. In the mean time I've read 1984 and now I think that the next read will be more satisfying.

Have a good new years watching twilight zone my guy

How much of your collection have you actually read ?! 😲 I’m curious cuz I just watched your collection tour video and goddamn you’ve got quite the library ! 😲😲

I L♥️VE V FOR VENDETTA

Based off the thumbnail it’s all adult content 😂

Love this channel but Walt probably has the most expensive shipping in EU now.

I know Monsters by BWS got a little too dark by the end but reading the first two acts was quite possibly the most gripping read I've ever experienced. Sad it didn't make this list.

That was one of my favorite reads of 2021. I’m sure it will show up on a future list.

This might be a dumb question, but whats the difference between the trade paperback, deluxe and absolute editions?

I actually did a video answering this question: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gm1sj9KYirbbnNY.htmlsi=w0iuXy86qHn3Ziio

The title makes it seem like these are the best stand alone books of 2023.

I like Bryan Lee O'Malley's artwork, but I'm not a fan of his writing. I don't find any of his characters relatable... but, that's not really a knock on him or his work, I have the same problem with people in general. I have Seconds already, but looking forward to checking out some of the other title you mentioned. Thanks for the recommends!

Can you please add timestamp helps rewatching the video

Is the *X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills* collected in an Omnibus already? _Skipped as didn't want story spoilers_ but it's obvious a story I've heard of so could direct me with future Omnibus prioritises

first view!

X-Men is the only one Worth reading...

Sees a 2023 best graphic novel list. *Brings a cup of tea* They are just graphic novels from any year, and yes, there are super hero cr*p in it… *Leaves* BTW: Killing and dying is not a novel, they are graphic short stories…

Bring a beer next time and be more open minded. GLMK is a masterpiece. BTW someone should tell book stores to remove Killing and Dying from their GRAPHIC NOVEL sections!

Nothing for me this time. Not even close.

X-Men God loves Man kills is very good. V for Vendetta sucks. Overrated. Book and movie
