Preacher
Preacher, the comic by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, was one of the best comics that came from Vertigo, the DC division for adult and non-superheroic comics. This cynical, sarcastic and surprising story about a preacher that has the power of The Word, an ability to make people do whatever he utters, is a portrait of the American Gothic of the 90's.

- #1May 12, 2018"A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Presented for the first time with stark, stunning new coloring by Bolland, BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE is Alan Moore's unforgettable meditation on the razor-thin line between sanity and insanity, heroism and villainy, comedy and tragedy. According to the grinning engine of madness and mayhem known as The Joker, that's all that separates the sane from the psychotic. Freed once again from the confines of Arkham Asylum, he's out to prove his deranged point. And he's going to use Gotham City's top cop, Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to do it. Now Batman must race to stop his archnemesis before his reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight's closest friends. Can he finally put an end to the cycle of bloodlust and lunacy that links these two iconic foes before it leads to its fatal conclusion? And as the horrifying origin of the Clown Prince of Crime is finally revealed, will the thin line that separates Batman's nobility and The Joker's insanity snap once and for all? Legendary writer Alan Moore redefined the super-hero with WATCHMEN and V FOR VENDETTA. In BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, he takes on the origin of comics' greatest super-villain, The Joker —and changes Batman's world forever. Stunningly illustrated, BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, THE DELUXE EDITION has been lushly re-colored by artist Brian Bolland, presenting his original vision of this modern classic for the first time."

Batman: The Killing Joke - #2April 23, 2018"Well, I must say, this book isn't only for teens! Like the movies, I thoroughly enjoyed this book too! There's always something fun and interesting going on with TinTin and I just loved following all his adventures. The pages are filled with his fascinating explorations and as if that wasn't enough there's wonderful illustrations too! Would I recommend this for a teen? You bet I would! It's the kind of book/graphic novel that everyone will enjoy as I did and it's educational for teens too! If your teen is anything like me they won't be able to put it down. And well, you just might pick it up for a good read too!"
Refering to:
The Secret of the Unicorn (The Adventures of Tintin) - #3April 29, 2018"The subject matter of this graphic novel would likely be very appealing to a wide range of age groups, but particularly to young adult readers. The content is fairly dark and adult themed in nature, but also reflects many of the things that a teen would be experiencing in their own lives, portrayed in a dark and twisted fantasy setting. User reviews are extremely positive, and this seems like a unique take on the story elements."
Refering to:
Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic - #4May 8, 2018"I've followed Brian K. Vaughn's work since Y: The Last Man, so I eagerly started reading the Saga comics every month and was blown away by both the story and the artwork (by the incredible Fiona Staples). This graphic novel collects the first six issues of the comic series and serves as a terrific introduction to this quirky space opera. I wholeheartedly recommend this graphic novel to any sci-fi fans teens and up."
Refering to:
Saga (Vol. 1) - #5April 29, 2018"Robot Dreams is one of the best graphic novels for teens. This is such a great book for children ranging from two years old through reading ages. The story is not at all shallow and beautifully illustrates the complexity and transitory nature of some relationships. Children reading the book with adults can tell what's going on, and because of the fantastic illustrations, "read" the book to the adult."
Refering to:
Robot Dreams - #6April 26, 2018"My search for the best graphic novels for teens resulting in The Frank Book as a suggestion is an acceptable recommendation. This book is a bit on the expensive side and only has 23 reviews but they are at 5 out of 58 stars. I would be unlikely to select this at the $30+ price range without a personal recommendation or a lot more reviews to convince me the book would be money well spent."
Refering to:
The Frank Book - #7April 8, 2018"This graphic novel does appear to be highly ranked on the store page for teen readers. The reviews are also very positive. The subject matter appears to feature many well known comic characters, and the art is extremely well done. This is perfect for my needs, and should be great for any teen reader looking for a high quality graphic novel or comic collection."
Refering to:
Secret Invasion - #8May 19, 2018"Just looking at the art style of this graphic novel, I feel like I have missed or I should have been reading this novel from way back. Lumberjanes is a graphic novel with an undeniably beautiful art style to keep you asking for more. Marvel comics always delivers I mean just look at what they have accomplished in the big screen."
Refering to:
Lumberjanes Volume 35 - #9April 11, 2018"Tintin played a huge role in the childhood of many that are at my age, awesome character. Whether it is a book, graphic novel or a TV show I would still love to remember Tintin in his greatness. If you know him, check Red Rackham's Treasure again, one more time; if you do not him, definitely check Red Rackham's Treasure."
Refering to:
Red Rackham's Treasure (The Adventures of Tintin) - #10May 7, 2018"This is a great choice for "best graphic novels for teens". I can't think of any teenager I know who would not be interested and, indeed, thrilled with this graphic novel. There are color comics drawn in an old-fashioned style, accompanied by a plot that is very much reminiscent of the original Batman" comics."
Refering to:
Batman '66 (2013, Volume 63) - #11April 10, 2018"I'm relatively new to graphic novels, and I'm no aficionado by any means. But Batman has become a tried and true favorite. Miller's Dark Knight Returns is what drew me in at first, so when I saw this compilation, I was intrigued! Meet Batman when he was born and Bruce Wayne all but disappeared!"
Refering to:
Batman: Year One - #12April 10, 2018"My son has always liked graphic novels. I wanted to find him a graphic novel that he would really like so I went to the store. I picked up Crab with Golden Claws (The Adventures of Tintin) for him based on the suggestion of the store clerk. A few weeks later he told me that he really loved it."
Refering to:
Crab with Golden Claws (The Adventures of Tintin) - #13May 15, 2018"I was much more interested in the graphics than the novel portion of this graphic novel. I thought the art style was unique and very well done but I found myself not terribly engaged by the story. I think the story had some trouble balancing its tone, which is understandable in teen media."
Refering to:
This One Summer - #14April 19, 2018"This is related to the Teen Titans series, which is well known, so it is likely to be appealing to a wide audience familiar with DC comics. However, this is only a single comic issue, rather than a collection. This is not a graphic novel, and not really what I am looking for."
Refering to:
Titans, Young Justice: Graduation Day - #15April 21, 2018"If you have a teen who is into graphic novels and comics, look no further than Assassin's Creed: Hawk. My teenage nephew loves this series, and this is the first volume. I highly recommend for anyone who has a teen son who is into graphic novels or comics."
Refering to:
Assassin's Creed: Hawk (Vol. 1) - #16March 30, 2018"Preacher is amazing! Enough Said. Vertigo consistently performs when it comes to making adult comics and "darker" comics. This is one of my favorite Vertigo comics. It is dark, appealing, and realistic. It's a very cynical story, so be prepared."
Refering to:
Preacher - #17May 8, 2018"Again, this is not my taste. The illustrations are inappropriate and the Price is expensive. I would never let my teen/young adult to read this at all. Although we like roller derby, this book could have been presented in a different way."
Refering to:
Doppelganger At the Hanger (True Tales of the Roller Derby) - #18April 3, 2018"I bought this book for my son. He said he really liked it, and really enjoyed reading. The only complaint I have is that it took almost a week longer then I was initially told to receive it. Otherwise, the book was really very good."
Refering to:
Batman: The Long Halloween - #19April 16, 2018"I love this. Batman is such a great hero -- and this is a new Batman and Robin duo. Robin is a GIRL! What better way to promote some girl power, while still enjoying a classic. Holy graphic novels, Batman! This is awesome."
Refering to:
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns - #20April 23, 2018"Not exactly my first choice for a graphic novel for teens. It's adventurous sure, but kind of retro and didn't really seem to appeal that much to me, then again, I haven't read any of the other novels in the series."
Refering to:
Tintin in Tibet (The Adventures of Tintin) - #21May 17, 2018"My brother in law bought this for my nephew last year (he loves the game) and he really enjoys it. Unfortunately that means I now have to buy all the rest of the issues for him. Oh well! It's money well spent."
Refering to:
Assassin's Creed: Homecoming (Vol. 3) - #22April 22, 2018"BONE by Jeff Smith is a very funny comedy fantasy that most kids will enjoy although there is lots of humor in the book its also has a great story line that will make you want to finish it till the end"

Refering to:
The Black Island (The Adventures of Tintin) - #24April 6, 2018"I would not necessarily call this a graphic novel, but it is definitely a VERY interesting read. This book is an illustrated masterpiece of all 50 chapters of the Bible's Book of Genesis"
Refering to:
The Book of Genesis Illustrated - #25April 12, 2018"Gosh, I don't think so. My daughter is a tween and she wouldn't want this. I have found a lot better stuff. Granted, it is kind of a classic but I can't say this is the best for a teen."
Refering to:
Tintin in America (The Adventures of Tintin) - #26April 17, 2018"Personally, I didn't get what all the hype was about. I had always heard about the Tintin series and how good it was, but it just didn't pull me in and I found myself bored with it."
Refering to:
Flight 714 to Sydney (The Adventures of Tintin) - #27April 24, 2018"The Arrival is a beautiful book so artfully done. It was a gift for my artistically minded daughter but I must say I would want SOME words in a book. She however loves it."
Refering to:
The Arrival - #28April 13, 2018"This is a great one for those who love graphic novels. It's best for teens, which is what I was looking for, and it is lesser-known so it makes a great gift."
Refering to:
The Broken Ear (The Adventures of Tintin) - #29April 22, 2018"A great graphic novel but it won't be for everyone. I suggest giving it a look and if you make it through the first bit to keep reading, its a great story."
Refering to:
Ghost World - #30May 14, 2018"Rollergirl of Mars is the first entry in the Trish Trash series. It's recommended for Grades 8+, making it a good choice for teens interested in comics."
Refering to:
Rollergirl of Mars (Trish Trash Volume 1) - #31April 19, 2018"The art in this graphic novel is strange and somewhat unappealing. The story sounds like a very fun time but it was too hard to get past the art."
