"Hey, comic nerds. Hip me to some kick ass graphic novels."
Sun Jul-02-06 04:45 PM by bignick

  

          

Yeah, I know. I called you a nerd. Take it easy. I can say it because I'm a comedy nerd. We're on the same branch of the nerd family tree.

I'm doing some research and I need to know examples of what you consider to be the best the genre has to offer. I mean stuff that you would wave in Janey's face as an example of how good the art form can be.

Thanks in advance...nerds. OK, that one was just gratuitous.
