New to graphic novels

[alphabet.alphabets]

Okay I see threads like these all over however I am looking for something to suit my interest.

I am 18 and into Zombies, and anything with a lot of action/dark/mystery type things or anything with a really good story line with fairly decent artwork.

I've started The Last Man and The Walking Dead, and I am thinking of picking up Marvel Zombies and Watchmen. Any other recommendations?

Have you tried Sin city? The film was good but the novels are so much better.

30 Days of Night is pretty cool Vampire Graphic Novel.

I think you will like - The Dead: Kingdom of Flies by Alan Grant, Simon Bisley and Glenn Fabry. Its not out yet but you can preorder a signed copy from Forbidden Planet. Glenn Fabry is signing so thats cool as he did some of the Preacher art. The book is released on 16th August

Also keep your eyes open for 'Roadkill' released in December. Its about cannibalistic mutants and a paranormal trucker called Jim. He has a talking dog and GPS crystal Skull. It sounds awesome.

Hellboy and B.R.P.D are great Horror/Supernatural/Mystery. Mike Mignola is very good with folklore and myths.

Hellblazer runs by Ennis,Delano,Diggle are really good dark/supernatural horror way.

 

[Brian G Turner]

It's hard to be easily disappointed by anything written by names such as Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Jamie Delano, Alan Grant, and Grant Morrison.

 

[Perpetual Man]

And if you like the dark stuff, with a really good sense of humour, there is alway Preacher by Garth Eniis and Steve Dillon

alan moores the "saga of the swamp thing" run is a dam fine read the art is is not your traditional comic fair but it is perfect for the tone of the work and is very creepy
imho its one of the finest horror comics ever written

Dhampire by Nancy A. Collins is good.

Oh, and try Deadworld which was illustrated by Vince Locke, which is specifically about vampires. Other suggestions:

30 Days of Night
Akira
Swamp Thing
The Fountain (very arty, but good)
The Sandman

 

[Stephen Aryan]

Others you might want to try - Hack / Slash by Tim Seeley, plays on the horror slasher sub genre.

I can definitely recommend Preacher. Fantastic stuff.

I'd also recommend Wasteland and Resurrection from Oni comics, two other post -apocalypse comics, coming at the issue from different angles, one is like Mad Max, and the other the aliens came to earth, conquered us and then suddenly left and it's about how we rebuild.

Have you tried 28 Days Later: The Aftermath, it sits between the two films, 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later.

Oh, and the Sandamn series is just brilliant - you'll love it!!

All of the suggestions so far are quite good. I'll throw in seconds for Preacher and The Sandman, both excellent series now all wrapped up. The collections are easy to find and affordable.
