Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
This might be the wrong thread, but does anyone want to recommend good graphic novels? I'm asking for Ben, who's not yet fourteen, but I'm okay with him reading fairly graphic stuff.
He's read The Umbrella Academy, and Batman: The Dark Knight, and he wants to read Watchmen and V For Vendetta. Any others he might like?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Gaiman Sandman series. Really graphic sex and violence on occassion. Lot's of nudity. Some of the best writing in or out of comics/graphic novels.

Amy, you might want to ask in Other Media. Scola for one would probably have some good recs for you.

I just finished Runaways, which isn't Important or Literature, but is fun and a good read.

Books of Magic, Amy. They're kinda Harry Potterish, but cooler. I'm not sure of the target range of Fables and Y: The Last Man, but they're also good. If he can read Watchmen, I think he can read those.
And...Maus?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Bone, maybe. He might be at the age that he would enjoy it more if he were younger or older.
Scott Pilgrim.
All-Star Superman, which I haven't read yet, but everyone raves about.

Those all look great! Thanks, folks! I'm of course thrilled that if he gets some of these for Christmas, I can borrow them.
Maus looks fantastic. And he's really into all that right now -- he loves The History Channel(s).
