OMGWTFBBQ I JUST FINISHED READING THE WATCHMEN
And totally felt the need to make a topic about it
Damn, that was a good one. Very dark and complex. I don't even read graphic novels frequently. I plan to rent the movie soon...hopefully it's not a letdown.
So, fellow forum-goers, any graphic novel recommendations?

Re: OMGWTFBBQ I JUST FINISHED READING THE WATCHMEN
I like "Waking Dead", as a good zombie series... Batman's "The Long Halloween", Alan Moore's "V For Vendetta"...
I've been reading Marvel stuff mostly so I've been lacking on graphic novels.

Scud: The Disposable Assassin. I mean how can you not like a Satan Worshipping, Voodoo Practicing, Zombie-gang leader version of Ben Franklin as a main villain?

No need for the whole screen name.

As long as you don't mind the notion that a giant squid would not work as a climax for a movie in the third millennium, it's a great movie.
Get the Director's cut though, that includes Hollis Mason's most awesome scene ever.

And if you don't mind that the master scheme is taken directly from an episode of The Outer Limits.

Oh yeah, the big-ass special edition came out in December, didn't it? How was that?
Re: OMGWTFBBQ I JUST FINISHED READING THE WATCHMEN
Annoyingly I can't seem to find the directors cut over here on anything other than blu-ray. Kind of annoying. It's still a damn good movie though.
Comics wise, I second the suggestions for Sandman and Walking Dead.

Awwwww, and I had respect for you before you went and posted this!
Go read The Filth by Grant Morrison, Anberlin89. It's totally straightforward and not at all disturbing.

Re: OMGWTFBBQ I JUST FINISHED READING THE WATCHMEN
Sandman, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, there's this other one that I can't remember the name of but it's by Will Eisner and it's about Fagan the Jew from Oliver Twist.
If you're willing to read manga, I recommend anything by Naoki Urusawa, particularly 20th Century Boys because I feel like I'm the only one who's ever read that.
And, while it's technically a webcomic, I have the print version so it's technically a graphic novel: Bite Me!.

Re: OMGWTFBBQ I JUST FINISHED READING THE WATCHMEN
I don't have any recommendations, as Watchmen is the only graphic novel I've ever read, but I'm posting because I concur with the aforementioned "awesomesauce" rating that my fellow forum-goers have imparted to it.
Great book, couldn't put it down until I finished it.

Re: OMGWTFBBQ I JUST FINISHED READING THE WATCHMEN
I recommend the following
Y: the last man
Fables
Ex Machina
100 bullets
well most of the Vertigo line.

Re: OMGWTFBBQ I JUST FINISHED READING THE WATCHMEN
V for Vendetta by Alan Moore
Sandman by Neil Gaiman (Seriously - get the Absolute editions if you can, especially of the "Ramadan" issue)
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Alan Moore
Maus by Art Spiegleman
Hellblazer by Mike Carey and others
Lucifer by Mike Carey - arguably a Sandman spinoff, but handled with incredible aplomb
Death: The High Cost of Living by Neil Gaiman (Another Sandman companion)
Stardust by Neil Gaiman
The Discworld Graphic Novels if you're a Pratchett fan, the art is really great.
