If you're not afraid of reading a young adult series, I personally thought that Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson was an interesting take on the concept of superheros. The premise is basically "a world where, in the recent past, an event happened that caused people to start getting super powers, except pretty much everyone with powers is evil." Edit: I may have misunderstood this to be asking about written novels rather than graphic novels. I stand by my suggestion anyway. I totally was asking about graphic novels but thanks for the suggestion! TheCyborgNinja posted... If you can find them for a reasonable price, the Annihilation arc from Marvel (3 TPBs) is my favourite of all time. It's pretty self-contained and a very enjoyable journey. Nothing short of it or the Thunderbolts being a thing in the MCU would get me to care about it again, honestly. The basic setup is that Annihilus has a seemingly infinite army and is trying to kill everything else in the universe. Nova, Drax, Ronan the Accuser, Silver Surfer, Super Skrull, and others struggle to stop him. It reinvigorated my long-dead interest in comics. Are these two everything? https://www.amazon.com/Annihilation-Complete-Collection-Vol-1/dp/1302912860/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525008509&sr=8-1&keywords=annihilation+marvel https://www.amazon.com/Annihilation-Complete-Collection-Vol-2/dp/1302912879/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1525008509&sr=8-2&keywords=annihilation+marvel Mead posted... You may have already read them but Watchmen The Dark Knight Returns Old Man Logan Superman: Red Son Those are classics and self contained stories I have Watchmen and TDKR, but I haven't finished either. Watchmen was good, I don't remember why I stopped. The other two sound good. <cite>SkynyrdRocker posted [p:900504994] in Recommend ...
