Graphic Novels & Trade Paperbacks/ Collections

2) Daredevil: Yellow
3) Daredevil: The Man Without Fear
4) Superman: Secret Origin
5) Batman: Year One

Had to limit it to 5 or I'd be here all day...

So there you have it, pretty much all the standard superhero stuff. It's what I grew up with and it seems the 10 year old in me doesn't want to go away. I don't read much indie stuff but I've been known to branch out and away from the superhero stuff occasionally. If I've left out any areas of interest hit me up in the comments and I can add a bit more.

Thanks for reading.
