So I'm really looking to buy both of these books but I don't know which one to buy FIRST. Batman: Year One is around 17 dollars/64 AED (AED is the currency of my country) and Marvel Civil War is around 30 dollars/107 AED. Which one should I get first?

I should seriously make this into a poll. Oh wait, I can't. Lmao

Batman Year One and Civil War get a tie as of yet: 1-1. The person to display the most reasons gets 5 points therefor making the vote for the particular book higher.

Year One is my favorite comic/arc of all time.

But Civil War is pretty good too.

Civil War was contrived and lame. Year One is a damn good yarn.

@noone301994: At first I was like "You can go to youtube to read Civil War? WHAT??? Then I searched it on youtube and dear lord, you are right. But I would also like to own the physical copy though. But seeing all the votes for Year One I would buy Year One first.

Civil War is pretty fucking great. But the ending isn't perfect.

Batman Year One Hardcover is sitting on my shelf, haven't read it. I should though.

Batman year one is a good read, and it's really humanizing it's characters without having them be out of character. It's a must read in terms that it's such a legendary comic as far as quality and landmark story goes.

Civil War is only a must read because it changed the status quo. Besides that it doesn't have much going for it, and the characters are so out of character that it's almost painful to read.

Year One stomps Civil War 10/10

But Year One's an all time classic

Yeah man! It's awesome. Most of the popular and mainstream comics I have read are on youtube. World War Hulk, Civil War, Siege, Red Hulk's 'saga,' etc. Owning the physical copy is overrated. I bought the entire Secret Invasion comic for like 30 bucks at a comic book store. Not worth buying.

Civil war was good but confusing, used a crap load of characters and had an spotty ending.

Year One is widely praised as of the best graphic novels of all time.

No contest, Year One is better.

Year One without a doubt. Everything about the story is great and unique, you have great storytelling and great characterization for the characters that appear. Civil War has nothing so special about it rather than changing the status quo and big battles between heroes.

Civil war will just piss you off didn't like the story at all. I liked the art, and some of the action was cool but other than that.......
