I recommend The Darkness. It is the story of a young mafia hitman who discovers he has the power to control demons. Its pretty and spooky at the same time. If you're a gamer you might also be interested in the game version.

- Latest Review: "The 11.05 Murders" by Brian O'Hare
My personal favourites include:
Maus by Art Speigelman. It's a biographical recount of the author's father as he struggled through the 2nd World War as a Polish Jew. Everyone in the comic is depicted as animals, but it definitely doesn't make it any easier to read. I highly recommend it, especially if you're interested in learning about the atrocities Jewish people had to go through during Hitler's reign.
Beautiful Darkness by Fabien Vehlmann. It's been described as an anti-fairy tale, and it really is one. It tells the story of tiny people who struggle to live in the woods after evacuating from a dead girl's body. Yeah, seriously. Focusing on one little person called Aurora as she tries to survive and watches her friends fall one by one, this is an incredibly dark and moving story that will haunt you long after you read it. If you liked The Borrowers and Lord of the Flies, you'll really like this story!
Also by the same author as Beautiful Darkness is Miss Don't Touch Me. With the same dark mood as the previous story, this story is about a young maid who, after watching her sister get brutally murdered, goes undercover in a brothel to find her killer. It is a twisted tale filled with debautchery, cold blooded killing and loss of innocence.

- Latest Review: Misreading Judas by Robert Wahler
I loved Persepolis too, I found it very current and relevant to all people. In my opinion, it is highly likely to become a classic after our time has passed.magsinator wrote: ↑18 Jul 2016, 18:57 Fun Home by Alison Bechdel is a really amazing LBGT autobiographical graphic novel about the author's childhood and relationship to her father. I highly recommend it.
I also loved Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. It's a graphic novel about growing up in Iran during the Cultural Revolution.
Also absolutely adoring the new Ms Marvel series by G Willow Wilson. Kamala Khan is great and highly entertaining.
