At this point the only graphic novel that doesn't piss me off one way or another is Weapon X by barry Windsor Smith. Just good story, good art, and Wolvie gutting everything that moves. No lame crap that doesnt work in comics because it takes you out of the story and think to yourself "That was lame and really doesn't work in this medium. Well it is just a comic!"

'nuff said.

*SNIKT*
It's pretty sad that even with Wolverine's popularity, Weapon X was his last great story. Now that he has his memory back, he's even worse. Oh, and I thought you liked Ronin a lot as well?

I think Pride of Baghdad should've been on that list. They put other Vertigo titles, and Pride of Baghdad is the best from them. There's so much on that list that shouldn't be there, and I feel bad for anyone who thinks Crisis on Infinite Earths is essential. That story and the story behind the story is just a big cluster****.
