List 04: 100 Comic Books/Graphic Novels/Manga/Webcomics To Read

Rounding out my segment of reading themed lists is possibly my favourite of the printed media - comics. When some people hear you say comic books, all they think of is small weekly four panel strips that appear in the newspaper on Sundays, and that are targeted at children or the asinine. There is, however, so much more to this medium than that - for one thing you have to know whether you're talking about a weekly strip, a monthly publication, a graphic novel, a Japanese manga, a webcomic...the list goes on...

I've started to compile here my list of comics (mostly graphic novels and magna) that I want to finish however, given that Bathurst (the place I currently live) has no comic book store (well, not anymore - it had one, but it closed down *sadface*) I'm relying on suggestions for now. One thing that will help boost this list, however, is a trip to Kinokuniya in Sydney - that place is the best book shop I HAVE EVER LAID EYES ON!

Anyway, enough of my prattling for now - I'll save that for when I actually complete an item - here is a list! Please make suggestions, I love hearing what others think, and appreciating what you guys like!
