[nite-owl]

The New Frontier.

 

[gildea]

Single issue : For the man who has everything
Mini : Watchmen
Arc: Batman : Year one

Special mention: Dc the new frontier and Superman: Secret Identity

 

[trustyside-kick]

The New Frontier.

I've always wanted to read that. I hear the Absolute edition of that or something is out and I've been wanting to get it.

 

[twylight]

Hmm..this one is tough...especially for one, single comic.


But for Arc/TPB I have to go with nite-owl


The New Frontier.

That was probably the one that stood out for me the most in all my TPB readings.

 

[J.R.]

Kingdom Come and the Infinite Crisis JSA tie-ins.

 

[Andy C.]

Kingdom Come (and yes, I know there's a bunch of people here who think it's over-rated, but it's what got me into DC, and I've still yet to read a comic that drew me into it quite as much)

Justice is definitely looking to be a runner-up, depending on how the arc ends.

In-continuity, I'm partial to Grant Morrison's JLA.

 

[bulok]

Kingdom Come

There was a trade paperback of Batman Legends of the Dark Knight with his early years stories a while back following his training in Tibetan mountains. I thought that was pretty awesome.

Kingdom Come and The Golden Age

Others of note:

Superman For All Seasons
Superman Birthright(that last page was just a tear jerker)
Superman Red Son
Batman The Long Halloween/Dark Victory
JLA Year One
DC The New Frontier

I'm still getting around picking some DC trades up.Come vacation time around X-Mas,expect a much larger list.

 

[Artistsean]

Graphic Novals: Dark Knight Returns, Batman Year One, Kingdom Come, New Frontier, Superman for all Seasons, Batman Long Halloween and Dark Victory.
Oh and Crisis on Infinite Earths (merges all these different worlds and fixes up continuity of 100s of characters in one story, amazing).

Those are really great books.

and I'm working on reading Watchmen (Vertigo, so its technically DC)
