Graphic Novels is a valid term. it is a fully self enclosed work, not a colletced series.

Will Eisner created the Graphic Novels and if you go to the library and get some of his stuf you will see. they are whole complete stories, intricate like novels, deep like a novel, but told in the graphic storytelling form.

"comic books" is an archaic term from when the first newspaper comic strips were colected together to forma voulme and sold back in the nineteen tens.

I have not read too much latrely, but I have a lot of favorites

I have the hardback edition of MAUS signed by Art Spiegelman. I read it every few years to remind me of whata mindblowingly fucking awesome work of art it is

I like the comic Bughouse, about jazz musicians who are drawn as bugs. very funny and real and odd.

I loev love LOVE the LOVE & ROCKETS comic books. I suggest everyone read all of them. they are fucking genius, abnd the hernandez brothers draw the hottest chicks this side of archie comics.

I collect all the Sandman,. some people do not like, but I love them. they are richer and denser and artsier and more mythologically REAL than most any other comic book out there. written with genius.

I love the Watchmen if anyone has not read it, it is the ultimate comic book deconstruction of th super hero mythos.

I love dark Night returns and DK2.

I love Frank Miller's SIN CITY. I collect thos ecomics. ther are pure insane manic sick genius.

One of my personal favorites which not too many people got into are the SHADOW comics done in the late 80's by DC. The first 6 were drawn by Bill seinkeqicz, one of my faves, and the rest were drawn by Kyle Baker. they are fucking sick twisted amoral insanity, a modern day u[pdate of The Shadow, my faviorite pulp character.
They are also really affordable to buy at comic stores or on Ebay. i recommend them highly.

I love batman of all types.
