Yesterday I gave you a post of the graphic novels I own that I need to get around to reading; today's focus is the ones I still need to get my hands on - the ones that have been pushed on me by friends, or that I have stumbled across and need to have on my bookshelves. ;)
If you have any up-and-coming or already-out-but-wanting graphic novels on your wishlist, make sure to let me know in the comments!

| This is probably my most eagerly anticipated graphic novel, and the only one on today's list that isn't out yet. You can believe I will be reading it the second I get my greedy little paws on it. |
 |
| This is by one of my favorite people. I suppose I should say by one of my favorite authors, but no, I'm sticking with people. And anyone who's ever read her "silly afterword manga" will understand why. I adore the Emma series, so I need to get my hands on this. |
 |
| This one has been on my to-read list since before it came out. Kinda can't believe I still haven't read it. |
 |
| Sorta just feel like I have to. Basically everyone tells me I will like it. |
 |
| I'm a big Buffy nerd. BIG. I routinely quote the show. I'm currently rewatching all of them (thank you, Neflix.), and am loving it just as much now as I did a decade ago. Need to read this and see where the story goes. (And to prove my nerdery - I wrote that last line about seeing where the story goes, and immediately got the song "Where Do We Go From Here?" in my head. Once More With Feeling, anyone?) |
 |
| See above, re: nerdery. Replace Buffy with Firefly. I worship at the altar of Joss Whedon. |
So that's my (short) list. There are many, many more I'd like to get my hands on. I think it's safe to say I am a graphic novel convert.
What's on your wishlist, graphic or otherwise?
Yay! Another Buffy fan! I'm also rewatching the show. I started in winter break and I'm into season 6 right now. I've never seen season 7, so I wanted to refresh the rest of the series since I haven't seen much of it since it originally aired. I LOVE Once More with Feeling. It's definitely in the top 3 episodes (the others being Hush and The Body).
ReplyDeleteSerenity is awesome too! I HIGHLY recommend the third volume, the Shepherd's Tale, which is all about Shepherd Book's past. I'll stop nerd gushing all over the place now.
Ooooo I think I will dig Serenity.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up with that, "I worship at the altar of Joss Whedon."
I have the Buffy comics in my To-Read pile also, maybe I'll get going with them again soon...speaking of rewatching Buffy, have you checked out Mark Watches? http://markwatches.net/reviews/ He is watching Buffy (and eventually Angel) for the first time ever and reviews it each day. It's really amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteI am also a ginormous fan of Joss Whedon. I love everything that he's done (except Dollhouse, which I have not seen yet). I'm scared to start it because I know I won't get any of my homework done once I do!
