@spm1m:

Yup. Read Wolverine by Chris Claremont and Wolverine: Origin by Paul Jenkins. It'll really help you understand Wolverine as a character.

@spm1m: You might want to do a little research on Infinite and Identity Crisis before you jump into 52, but if you have knowledge over those and a general knowledge of the DCU, you'd have no problem with it.

What do you mean when you say graphic novel? Like anything that's been collected in trade? Or specifically books that are released in trade format as one ongoing story and never released as single issues? I think you mean the former.

Wouldn't put AvX as one of my favourites...

Anyway, is Flashpoint recommended? Would I bother getting any of the spin-offs? Cause its for sale now on comixology.

I havent read many superhero related graphic novels so far, read em in single issues, so two obvious choices would be

- V for Vendetta

-Watchmen

- Preacher

-Y The Last Man

-Locke and key

-Dark knight Returns

I got more GNovels to read...
