What graphic novels would you recommend for a 15 year old boy just getting into the genre?

Question

I'm thinking 'Watchmen', 'Maus', maybe 'V for Vendetta'?

Answer 1

Watchmen is the greatest graphic novel ever. They're trying to make a film of it now, so it would be cool to read the book before the film comes out.

Batman Year 1, The Killing Joke, Arkham Asylam are 3 good Batman books.

You could pick anything from the 2000AD stable: Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Slaine, Halo Jones, ABC Warriors.

And, this may sound daft, but I know of at least 2 great Shakespear plays done as graphic novels: King Lear and Macbeth. No one EVER tell me that Shakespear is irrelevant!!!

Answer 2

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series, by Alan Moore.

Answer 3

Diary of a Wimpy baby is great!!! So is the sequel, Rodrick policies. image Novels are cool, and my sister's BFF, Jake, examine a image novel noted as Bone. additionally attempt Pokemon and issues you have heard of. in case you want to envision the appropriateness of a e book, examine it with him and tell him you think of that's only too mature in case you think of that's! additionally attempt comedian books like Archie till now actual image novels.

Answer 4

V for Vendetta would be an excellent choice. My cousin loves that novel.

Answer 5

V for Vendetta, watchemen is kinda weird but cool, Serenity, Buffy, Anita Blake....all cool

Answer 6

I highly suggest watching Naruto. Naruto in my opinion is one of the best anime/manga ever so far. I defiantly think is has lived up to the hype about it. The show has a interesting plot with very good art and charter drawing. The show includes action/comedy/romance and drama Here what the show is about. It is about a boy named Naruto who is an orphan and has a demon spirt fox in him that was put there when he was born. Later on Naruto finds friends that like him of who he is. He has made a decision be become the greatest ninja in his village (the village hidden in the leaves), he wants to become hokage, but in order to do that he must train like he never has before as well has battle through missions and interesting foes with his friends and learning new moves/jutsu (speail fighting moves) and marial arts. In between all this there are relationships between charters. Especially between Naruto and Hinata who has very strong feeling for him,but unfortunately he doesn't see it yet. Naruto is defiantly a series/show/manga that defiantly worth getting into and is one good epic story.

Well in any case the feeling between Narto and Hinata (who has very strog feeling for Naruto) are kind of the other way around, where Hinata likes Naruto,but Naruto doesn't see it just yet and in time he will.

More info:

Twelve years before the events at the focus of the series, the nine-tailed demon fox attacked Konohagakure. It was a powerful demon indeed; a single swing of one of its nine tails would raise tsunamis and flatten mountains. It raised chaos and slaughtered many people, until the leader of the Leaf Village – the Fourth Hokage – defeated it by sacrificing his own life to seal the demon inside a newly-born child, whose origins are as yet unknown. That child's name was Naruto Uzumaki. The Fourth Hokage was celebrated as a hero for sealing the demon fox away. He wanted Naruto to be respected in a similar light by being the containment vessel for the demon fox. The village he grew up in, however, mostly shunned Naruto; they regarded him as if he were the demon fox itself and mistreated him throughout most of his childhood. A decree made by the Third Hokage made it so that the other villagers were forbidden to mention the event to anyone, even to their own children. However, this did not stop them from treating Naruto like an outcast. Although their children did not specifically know why their parents treated Naruto the way they did, they learned through example to despise the boy. As a result, Naruto grew up as an orphan in a lonesome atmosphere without friends, family, or acknowledgment.
