Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Hello, my comic-loving friends. I'm putting together a blog of graphic novels with an epidemic/apocalyptic theme for my final YA Lit project and thought I'd get input from you all. It is most definitely a work in progress, but I'd love any feedback: other titles that would fit the theme, other cool links to include, any old thing. Here it is: [link]
ETA: The goal is also to point readers who enjoyed a particular book to other books they might enjoy. The book that I'm using as book x is Y the Last Man (loves it!).

Looks like you're missing The Walking Dead, which is post-zombie apocalypse. Written by Robert Kirkman. I haven't read it, but the people at my comic book store recommend it a lot.
Y the Last Man rules! As you know.

No problem! It was one that was clearly missing, although a reader pointed out to me that it's not exactly appropriate for a YA audience.
Also, according to Wikipedia, the artist changed a few issues in, so you may want to include that in your tags.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Glamcookie, you should really go back and look at the original "Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth" stories by Jack Kirby. A little kitsch now, but still fun.

I just started reading Y: The Last Man a few days ago. Yes, it rules, though not quite as much as Ex Machina!

We are so the other way around on this issue. I love Ex Machina, but it's probably my least favorite of BKV's series.
Glam, my friend also suggests The Exterminators by Simon Oliver, which I haven't read. It's "bugs rather than pathogens, but is still very wacky end-of-the-world about the whole thing." A review I just found describes it thusly: "The Exterminators is literature of the Apocalypse delivered through black humor and social class commentary."
