This week the topic is, well, a freebie. You can find their post here.
I'm not a huge comic or graphic novels fan. Mostly because I'm not a visual person. I don't have a good visual memory, which makes it hard for me to keep characters apart. I love watching anime. I'd love to read some manga, but with mangas being in black and white, I just keep mixing everyone right up.
At least I'm assuming that's the reason I never picked comics up as a child. If anyone has any suggestions for me, please feel free to comment, because I always had the impression, I'm missing out.

Neil Gaiman's Sandman and Brian K. Vaughan's Saga are two graphic novel series that I enjoy a lot. I like most of Neil Gaiman's books so Sandman didn't come as a surprise and Saga is honestly a very enjoyable science fiction read.
And a friend has told me to read the following two:

Which already brings me to the end of my, as you can tell, very extensive graphic novel/comic book knowledge. Any recommendations?
I need to read Saga. It seems to get rave reviews and I need to take the plunge. I haven't been reading as many graphic novels lately although I do like Alex and Ada.
ReplyDeleteI'll look into Alex and Ada :) Also, if you're into sci-fi, which I believe you are, do pick up Saga, it's magnificent.
DeleteI love Saga and Locke & Key though I'm sad to say I forgot about Locke & Key on this week's list!
ReplyDeleteOh, good to hear that Locke & Key is good!
DeleteI read the first book in the Saga series and stopped. Can't remember why. Perhaps I should read on. The other books you list I haven't read or even seen. I do have a Neil Gaiman book on my list too.

You should continue with Saga.
DeleteI've heard so much about Neil Gaiman's Sandman. I think one of my favorite TV Shows, Lucifer, was inspired by one its characters so I should give it a try!
