(REAL NAME)   
 
Watchmen
1.  Watchmen by Alan Moore
The list author says:
  "Ah, the classic! And it really, REALLY is as good as you've heard it is. (Hope the film does it justice)"
£11.69   Used & New from: £3.54
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (182 customer reviews) | 8 customer discussions

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac: Directors Cut
2.  Johnny the Homicidal Maniac: Directors Cut by Jhonen Vasquez
The list author says:
  "I don't want to call (author and artist) Jhonen Vasquez a genius because he wouldn't agree, but he's very good. Fantastically written, very funny and with biting social observation. READ IT!"
£12.74   Used & New from: £8.56
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

Squee
3.  Squee by Jhonen Vasquez
The list author says:
  "Vasquez's follow up to JTHM, featuring Johnny's ex-neighbour Squee. Not as solid a story line as JTHM, but just as funny."
£10.79   Used & New from: £6.20
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Absolute Batman Hush
4.  Absolute Batman Hush by J Loeb
The list author says:
  "Perhaps my favourite Batman story; Jeph Loeb's writing and Jim Lee's artwork makes the action whizes along without pause for breath, delivering a true detective story for the Dark Knight."
Used & New from: £41.76
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

All Star Batman and Robin
5.  All Star Batman and Robin by Frank Miller
The list author says:

3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

Batman: Arkham Asylum Anniversary Edition
6.  Batman: Arkham Asylum Anniversary Edition by Grant Morrison
The list author says:
  "Morrison's tale is more character study than plot driven, but the dramatic exchanges between the Joker and Batman, and Dave McKean's incredible artwork, make it a must-read."
£7.49   Used & New from: £4.99
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (37 customer reviews)

The Filth
7.  The Filth by Grant Morrison

Wanted: Director's Cut Edition
8.  Wanted: Director's Cut Edition by J.G. Jones
The list author says:
  "If you haven't seen the film (and it's actually very good) then read this first. Very different from it's screen adaptation and both are all the stronger for it."
Used & New from: £41.43
3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere"
9.  Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere" by Mike Carey

3.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Constantine: All His Engines

Absolute Sandman: Volume 1
11.  Absolute Sandman: Volume 1 by Neil Gaiman

Spider-Man/Black Cat: Evil That Men Do Marvel Premiere HC: The Evil That Men Do (Amazing Spider-Man)
12.  Spider-Man/Black Cat: Evil That Men Do Marvel Premiere HC: The Evil That Men Do (Amazing Spider-Man) by Terry Dodson
The list author says:
  "Being a fan of the films, I thought I'd give one of the books a go, and with Kevin Smith behind the pen this seemed as good as any. It's a great story but takes a peculiar turn towards the end. Hmm.."
Used & New from: £8.00

30 Days Of Night
13.  30 Days Of Night by Ben Templesmith
The list author says:
  "I'm no comics buff but somehow I managed to read this before the film got made, and it's much better! A great horror story with great artwork that just adds to the whole feel and atmosphere."
£10.80   Used & New from: £0.55
3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

Back on the Street (Transmetropolitan)
14.  Back on the Street (Transmetropolitan) by Warren Ellis
The list author says:

Kingdom Come (DC Comics)
15.  Kingdom Come (DC Comics) by Mark Waid
The list author says:
  "Ross' art is phenomenal but it can feel overwhelming. Likewise, I enjoyed the story but I don't think capes and tights are really my thing. Superhero fans however will love it."
Used & New from: £11.12
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Batman: The Killing Joke (Deluxe Edition)
16.  Batman: The Killing Joke (Deluxe Edition) by Alan Moore

£7.19   Used & New from: £4.96
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (73 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Batman: Long Halloween
17.  Batman: Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb
The list author says:
