I'm looking for a good graphic novel. I dont read comics all that often last time was a probably few years ago, so i need some recommendations. I'm looking mainly for X-Men or Justice League(preferably X-Men). I've heard Age Of Apocalypse was good. Suggestions are appreciated.  |

Definitely check out Age of Apocalypse. It's an awesome storyline with some great art too. I'd also recommend House of M.
If you decide to buy the AoA novels, don't start with volume 1. Volume 2 is really the start of the series.

I've heard good things about X-Men: Messiah CompleX, but I personally haven't read it and know next to nothing about it. If you're an X-Men fan I would assume it'll be worth a read.

check out warren ellis' work, it's really amazing. no hero and black summer are some of the best books i've ever read. the punisher max series is amazing, the current old man logan series is good under the wolverine title as is the venom:origins. i really like what uncanny x-men has been doing with deathstrike/professor x...and the current captain america series is also very good.

The first couple of novels for Astonishing X-Men are great. For Justice League, I do really like Tower of Babel

Another Wolverine comic that I just got last night was great. Called Get mystic its a TPB and it a half back story on when mystic and wolverine first met and half present story Wolverine hunting mystic down. Also cant stress enough you should really read Wolverine Old man Logan its fantastic.

If you can get a hold of them, hunt down the "color" books that Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale (The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, "Heroes", etc.) did together. Must haves concerning their runs are Hulk: Gray and Daredevil: Yellow. Spider-Man: Blue was great, but does not hold up as well to those two. They're currently on Captain America: White. Catch that too. Issue #0 was excellent, even for a teaser.
Hulk: Gray though. Easily my number 1 comic of all time.
