Top 5 Graphic Novel reads from 2016
I managed to read 143 comics last year which was a bit more than anticipated and came at the expense of neglecting novels and audiobooks.
I love my comics but this year I'll be trying to pare it back a little and concentrate on getting my novel/novella TBR under control.
A fun first outing for me with the Suicide Squad team, the star is of course Harley Quinn and I'm looking forward to reading more of her this year.
A beautiful start to the Sandman series with the Robert Smith inspired Dream escaping capture and returning to his kingdom.
I loved all six books in this series but the reason I picked this one was due to Herr Starr. He is left wounded by Preacher, his head now resembles a penis and there are some hilarious panels that show him trying on wigs and hats with the same sour expression on his face until the last panel when he finds something he likes.
Great premise of beauty being a STD and how society values outer beauty at any cost. Amazing artwork makes this a must read.
A shocking end to an amazing series. Garth Ennis is a genius.
