I figured we could all reply with some of our favorite books. Not just for new folks, but I'm sure we could all discover a few new books. I didn't do any genres yet, but I may go through and add them yet, or at the very least I'll Amazon link them.

All the suggestions in the older recommendation threads are still helpful.

Tip: When Asking For A Recommendation
A good rule of thumb on the forums when fishing for recommendations is to give us a general idea of the films, books and television shows you enjoy. If you have some familiarity with comics, list those too.
The more specific you are in conveying the type of stories you'd be interested in reading, the better the recommendation we can give you. There is no shame in asking. So speak up!

Hey dudes, let's keep the chatter and banter to a minimum here.
If this is to be a resource, then we shouldn't expect new comic readers to wade through our postings when they just want to find a good book to read. We can go off topic pretty quick. That's not helpful to anyone. Thanks.

Quote:
 Also, while the guys here do their Pick of the Week in order present their best purchases, I've slowly taken my columning for AICN to the point where I really am just now pushing books that are way too under-appreciated for their level of quality or are just plain good. Every once in a while I'll do some previewing of an upcoming title, like this week expect to see my look at RESURRECTION #1 from Oni Press on Weds or so. Mostly every time a new column goes up, I post a link in my signature to follow and what I did (and, of course, my collaborators too). Last week was OMEGA THE UNKNOWN, and a couple before that was THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY. So, hope that's useful to someone, anyone maybe... but probably not.
