Watchmen»rank: 10by: Alan Moore
0ur opinion: : Has any comic been as acclaimed as Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen? Possibly only Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, but Watchmen remains the critics' favorite. Why? Because Moore is a better writer, and Watchmen a more complex and dark and literate creation than Miller's fantastic, subversive take on the Batman myth. Moore, renowned for many other of the genre's finest creations (Saga of the Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta, and ...

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns»rank: 81by: Frank Miller
0ur opinion: :lf any comic has a claim to have truly reinvigorated the genre, then The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller--known also for his excellent Sin City series and his superb rendering of the blind superhero Daredevil--is probably the top contender. Batman represented all that was wrong in comics and Miller set himself a tough task taking on the camp crusader and turning this laughable, innocuous children's cartoon character into a hero for our ...

Batman: The Killing Joke»rank: 145by: Alan Moore, Brian Bolland
0ur opinion: :The Killing Joke, one of my favorite Batman stories ever, stirred a bit of controversy because the story involves the Joker brutally, pointlessly shooting Commissioner Gordon's daughter in the spine. This is a no-holds-barred take on a truly insane criminal mind, masterfully written by British comics writer Alan Moore. The art by Brian Bolland is so appealing that his depiction of the Joker became a standard and was imitated by many artists to ...

Batman: The Long Halloween»rank: 525by: Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale
0ur opinion: :lt's refreshing when you find a Batman story that both is epic and successfully explores the core of a resolutely explored character. Taking as its catalyst a sub-plot from the seminal Batman: Year 0ne, the story revolves around murders occurring on national holidays, the victims connected to Mob boss 'The Roman.' Dubbed 'Holiday,' the killer uses an untraceable handgun and leaves small trinkets at the scene. Plenty of suspects are available, but the ...

V for Vendetta»rank: 699by: Alan Moore, David Lloyd
0ur opinion: :V for Vendetta is, like its author's later Watchmen, a landmark in comic-book writing. Alan Moore has led the field in intelligent, politically astute (if slightly paranoid), complex adult comic-book writing since the early 198Os. He began V back in 1981 and it constituted one of his first attempts (along with the criminally neglected but equally superb Miracleman) at writing an ongoing series. lt is 1998 (which was the future back then!) and ...
