Ducks. Award winning Canadian content. There's also one about Smedley Darlington Butler. Great for those who don't have the inclination to wade through a couple of 300 pagers...

League is brilliant, too bad about the film. Ronin is essential stuff.

cub feel.

Impressed that you mentioned Black Hole. Great work.

There was talk of making it into a movie, Rupert Sanders shot a proof of concept in the late 2000's.

It doesn't appear to be online anymore.

Chainsaw Man, and almost anything by its author Tatsuki Fujimoto, like Look Back or Fire Punch
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

 

[Valcazar]

Some good choices in here.

I see some are trades of monthlies, though. Should we really count those if they weren't originally graphic novels?
