Actually bought V for Vendetta for my partner a month ago, but he hasn’t read it yet, so I think it would be rude if I read it first!

Thanks for the recs Maggie

I second Scott Pilgrim. There’s also Sandman, which you should certainly read if you’re a fan of Neil Gaiman (which everyone should be of course). I also LOVE Hellboy and B.P.R.D., they are fantastic. We3 is good if you need a good cry, I warn you it is good but incredibly sad. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is also good. And of course there’s V for Vendetta.

You should check out Bryan Lee O’Malley (totally Canadian), in particular his Scott Pilgrim series — there’s five volumes out now, and the sixth and final one will be out eventually. It’s super-fun. AND it’s soon-to-be-a-movie-by-Edgar-Wright, so you can get on the bandwagon before the rest of the world does to be super cool.

For Sin City, they actually used the comic as the storyboard and set about to do it faithfully panel by panel. It’s actually so faithful, they insisted on giving Frank Miller a writers credit for the film. Watchmen wasn’t quite that faithful, but it tried hard.
