Just read Maus (damn) and was wondering about other high quality graphic novels. I’ve heard good things about Watchmen so I might read that next. I’m open to comics, manga -Berserk is good, right? - anything that has pictures and text.

    Highly recommend The Walking Dead. Don't be put off by the stumblings of the show, the comic is so much more put-together. Only stumbling point is the visual quality takes a brief dip when they switched artists after #6, but it's like 200 issues long so it's not that bad in the grand scheme of things.

    If you're into superheros I can also recommend Invincible, also written by Robert Kirkman. The earlier issues show their age ("gay" being used pejoratively being the most noticable) but things get pretty profound for capeshit, with a lot of interrogation of the individualist folly of superheros as a concept. Can also recommend the TV adaptation on Amazon Prime. It deviates from the source material in ways good and bad but it's faithful where it counts and the VAs do a great job.

      Yeah the graphic novel series is pretty based

      If you haven't read it, in the final arcs their society is basically doing primitive communism without saying so literally.
