Not in the Mood for Superheroes?

Posted by Zach H.

Contrary to what some people think, graphic novels don't always have superheroes in them. These books, written for an adult audience, are fantastic examples.

Rat Queens by Kurtis J. Wiebe - A  humorous and fun fantasy story about a rowdy mercenary group that causes their fair share of destruction.

Blacksad by Juan Díaz Canales – A beautifully drawn story about a feline private investigator set in the 1950’s.

The Unwritten by Mike Carey – An interesting series that deals with the power of words in the form of a boy-wizard who may have been written into existence.

We3 by Grant Morrison – A very moving and, at times, sad story about three pets that are turned into cyborg weapons by a military weapons program.

Daytripper by Fábio Moon – A dream-like story about a man who spends his days as an obituary writer and dreams of becoming a famous author like his father.
