2008 Summer Movie (graphic novel) Reading List
Love those summer superhero movies, don'tcha? Iron Man! The Hulk! Wanted! Batman! The Punisher! and The Watchmen will be here before you know it. And after that, who knows? Sequels to all your old favorites: Spiderman 4? X-men 4? Superman: The Man of Steel? The Fantastic Four 3 (well, maybe not)? The Silver Surfer?...maybe even Daredevil?
Whatever the case may be, the box office receipts don't lie. You LOVE 'em!!
Well, don't let the movies be the end of your party, read the books too. No matter how many times I mention it in the LEOG, everyday I get an email asking me what graphic novels I would suggest. Don't worry, your ol' Uncle Leon has heard your prayers and put together a list of the best graphic novels to help you get to know your new favorite superheroes alot better. Click here.
...And "no", this isn't a comprehensive list. There's hundred's more, this is just a starter kit.

You do realize that Long Halloween is a Jeph Loeb book, right?

Actually, I thought "Hush" was pretty weak. Just an excuse to have Jim Lee draw everybody in Batman's rogue gallery. And it was pretty obvious who Hush really was since the story opened with Bruce Wayne's "childhood friend" who'd never been mentioned before.
The only cool thing about it was that it brought back Jason Todd as a villain...only it turned out to actually be Clayface, so even that wasn't cool.

Batman Hush storyline is really good, and features fantastic artwork by Jim Lee... Not to mention a pretty badass fight between Batman and Superman.

Great list. I would add Superman: Secret Identity by Kurt Busiek.
Definitely one of my favorite stories of all time and I would say it's better than For All Seasons.
The book is about a kid named Clark Kent who lives in a world without superheroes and super villains. His whole life he gets picked on by both his family and friends for sharing the name of Superman's alter ego. Its not until he becomes teenager, that he discovers that he had super powers all along. The government becomes weary and tries to bring him down, while all Clark wants to do is live a normal life.

I really want to read Wanted, but something in my gut is keeping me back from running out and buying it because I saw the movie first and I' unsure whether the book is worth the buy. Though after Cyrus' reaction to it on LEOG, I'm tempted. The Chapters near my house actually has a huge "recommended" wall of graphic novels (which is where I got Watchmen). However, on that wall they also had One More Day, so....

pretty much all the Batmans and Watchmen are knocked off my list (albeit one of them I find overrated, I wont say which but you can guess which one). World War Hulk sounds awesome too.
