I would also recommend: -Locke & Key -Sandman -Deathnote -Animal Man (Jeff Lemire run) -Arkham A Serious House on Serious Earth -Goodnight Pun Pun -One Piece -The Flowers of Evil -Vinland Saga -Uzumaki (Junji Ito) All of these series have at one point or another helped me through a difficult time or in some specific cases, literally changed my outlook on things. I wouldn't be reading comics if it wasn't for Sandman showing me that they can be intellectually challenging works of art. Deathnote helped me shape my understanding of right and wrong as well as introduced me to the world of manga and anime. Uzumaki showed me that anything can be scary, even a natural geometric concept, it all depends on the skill of the writer to show you the fear in everyday life. Goodnight Pun Pun showed me how to deal with easily the darkest time in my childhood and how to move on from that trauma. All of the stories have been instrumental in shaping me as a person and when I'm old enough and want to start a family I will introduce them to my kids. I strongly believe that this medium is incredibly powerful thanks to its accessibility and I'm thankful for all the creators that go the extra mile to craft stories that can change people's hearts.

I really hope that Waid have a real shot to write Superman one day. I know he had problems with DC...but he's one of these writers who was born to write the big blue ! Planetary by Warren Ellis & John Cassaday Watchmen by Moore & Gibbons. I agree, it's ...just perfect...Even if I prefer Top Ten (crazy book !). But 10 is really hard, because I could choose the many incredible runs on Daredevil...X-Men (ahhh the Claremont run), JMS run on Spider-Man (my personnal favorite) Everything by Urusawa or Mitsuru Adachi...Adachi's books are the ones I'm gonna read, when I'm down...

If we're talking non omnibus collected editions, and only one volume, then in no particular order: 1. Justice by Krueger, Braithwaite, and Ross (probably my all time favorite comic) 2. Superman For All Seasons by Loeb and Sale (probably the most human-ifying Superman origin) 3. Aquaman: The Others by Johns and Reis (everything it did for Aquaman and Manta) 4. Long Halloween (ultimate crime/mystery thriller) 5. Green Arrow by Lemire and Sorrentino (some of the best comics I've ever read) 6. Saga of the Swamp Thing vol. 1 by Moore and Bissette (made me a lifelong ST fan) 7. a tie between Batman: Year One and Daredevil: The Man Without Fear (both written by Frank Miller) 8. I'm gonna including DC Universe: Rebirth #1 (Wally's quest and hug with Barry was single greatest moment in comics in 2016) 9. Superman: Secret Origin by Johns and Frank (my other favorite) 10. Green Lantern: Rebirth by Johns and van Sciver Honorable mentions: 1. Immortal Hulk Deluxe Ed. vol. 1 (is making me a Hulk fan, want to get vol. 2) 2. Flash vol. 3: Gorilla Warfare (a wonderful cap to a great 3 volume story) I actually had to stop reading Watchmen about halfway through because I hated it. I couldn't follow it, was confused, and somewhat bored. I did really like the movie though.

Thanks so much Omar. I’ve come back into the comic book world after 30 years away from it. Wow, what a lot of content to catch up with! I’ve just finished the Hellboy library editions…I’m that kid again. 😊👍🏼
