Respect Mr. Superman, Big Ups Mr. Superman.

I believe it is time to give comic books the credit they deserve. Most of the deep and emotionally meaningful lessons I learned as a child were from X-Men and Batman. The complex parallels between Professor Xavier and Magneto's leadership methods to civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were understood by me at the age of 9. Don't scoff at these comics; I promise you'll regret it. Critical acclaim (and top grossing movies) has followed the release of these comics.

I recommend "The Phoenix Saga" from the X-Men series as well as the "300" graphic novel, and the "Berserk" Manga Series. My most recent love is "Y the Last Man".


I'll give a links to the descriptions of the comics:
