Batman: Year 100 isn't bad either.

As for the reboot, I suggest:
-Batman
-Aquaman
-Swamp Thing
-Animal Man
-I, Vampire
-Wonder Woman

This man knows whats up.

Just add Omac.

Can I ask for Graphic Novel recommendations here?

What Genre's. Self contained or multiple volumes.

Genre's? So long as it's not a romance or Super Hero story, I'm down with anything. Self-contained would be prefered, but Multiple volumes are good too. I think it depends more on what I can find.

Y: the last man
The Walking dead (on going but reads the best in trade format)
Sweet tooth
American Vampire (rated M alot of killing/Nudity/cursing.) co-written by stephen king
Scalped- (the Sopranos on a Native American reservation)
Love and rockets
Fables
Casanova
Gotham Central (about the gotham police department. The wire in gotham and batman rarely appears)
Batman Year one
Alll Star superman

Thanks. I actually heard of Y: The Last Man from a friend before. I'll have to check it out.

Gotham Central, Gotham Central and Gotham Central. Seriously amazing how awesome that series was.

Also, i definitely second Walking Dead in trade form (the only way i read it; i'd never be able to deal with a month between ishs).

So i'm not getting my comics until tomorow but here's what i'm getting.

Action Comics #4
Animal Man #4
Batman #3
Batman #4
Batwoman #4
Frankenstein: Agent of shade #4
Supergirl #2
Swamp Thing #3

Also maybe Batman inc Levithian Strikes.

I really want to read Batman Inc. However, didn't it get cancelled because of the New 52? (Actually, didn't all series get cancelled?)

Not canceled but put on Hiatus. 1-7 came out a few moths ago. Today Levithian strikes came out which is issues 8 and 9 in one big book. The series is starting back up sometime next year as Batman: Leviathan and will see the conclusion of Grant Morrison's epic run.

So Leviathan Strikes wasn't available on digital but someone let me borrow it.

Holy Crap the liteally give Batman a Unsovable Puzzle and brings Batman inc crashing down horribly around him with agents being killed. The last three pages are crazy.

So I picked up

Action Comics #4
Animal Man #4
Batman #3
Batman #3
Batwoman #4
Frankenstein #4
Omac #4
Swamp Thing #3

haven't read Batman #4 yet by my top three this month so far are.

Batwoman #4
Frankenstein #4
Action Comics #4

Batwoman #4 was an excellent issue, i actually just got around to reading it like an hour ago (the whole series has been phenomenal thus far). Definitely one of those issues where when you get to then end, you're like "NO! CAN'T WAIT! NEED MORE NOW!"

Poor Bette

There is a reason why This is my favorite book of the relaunch and Batwoman is my favorite DC character.

Also one more issue and Amy Reeder is taking over art duties.

J.H.'s art will certainly be missed, but Reeder should be a good fit with the syle and tone of the book.

And i'd agree that Batwoman's probably my favorite DC character right now as well (heh, though admittedly the only two DC books i get regularly now are Batwoman and Catwoman). I've been very impressed at how well she's been handled (at least since the Detective Comics run; i didn't read any stuff featuring her from before then), when it would be so easy for DC to turn her into just teenage fan-boy bait. It's definitely among my top 5 or probably top 3 favorite books right now

No love for Dark Horse or Image Comics?

And for anyone who wants a REALLY good Batman graphic novel (with surprisingly adult themes), I give you this:

I currently only buy DC singles as I won't support Marvel's bussiness plans.

From image i like
The Walking dead
Invincible
Astounding wolfman
Blue Estate

dark horse all i like is the buffy and angel stuff.

Just got done reading Swamp Thing #4 and looks like Snyder has finally kicked into gear the way Lemire has done with animal man.

Man the Dark titles are the best.

Anyone who likes balls to the wall action check out Frankenstein. Dude is the Ultimate Straight men put on a team with his ex wives and a team of electric rookies.

@shingi_70 What? Marvel rocks!

I'll always have a soft spot as spider-man is my Favorite hero and they got me into comics but I can't support some stuff they do like.

The 3.99 for the amount of content that at DC is 2.99. All the DC 3.99 books have extra content than marvels.
The mentality of not basing pricing on content but how popular the character is.

Giving Bendis two out of the Five avengers books and then he's getting one more. (great thing this is his last year on the title)

If they had the 2.99 price point I would take for DC titles off of my list and put all the Ultimate stuff in. That and all the books that would get me to buy are being canceled. (ghost rider and X-23)

it sucks as Wolverine and the xmen and the recent spider-man stuff are so good.

Aside from the "Big 2", i also collect all the Dark Horse Star Wars books (sans anything Clone Wars ... i'm a SW fanboy, but am so tired of the CW period), as well as DH's Guild comics co-written by Felicia Day. I did grab all of Buffy Season 8, but stopped with the Buffyverse after that.

Also, IDW's GI Joe & Cobra series (i was getting A Real American Hero for a while, as it was a direct continuation of the Marvel series and is written by Hama, but i dropped it recently), and Garth Ennis's books with Dynamite (The Boys and Jennifer Blood — though Jennifer Blood was just taken over by a new writer after the initial story arc).

EDIT: @Shingi
While i'm a huge Avengers fan and i do like Bendis in general (Scarlet was/is an excellent book of his outside the Marvel U, definitely check it out), i'm definitely tired of his Avengers-ness. That's why my fave Avengers title at this point is, hands down, Avengers Academy (It's another of my top favorite titles).
