While not specifically novels, I count graphic novels as part of my reading list, and this week I read two popular ones; Watchmen and Wanted.

While both were entertaining, Watchmen is by far the better of the two; it is a modern classic (tragic)in superhero novels. Wanted on the other hand is a violent, graphic, over the top action look at the world of bad guys.

I have also started reading a fantastic horror story in the zombie apocalypse tale The Walking Dead. This comic book is scary, unsettling, horrifying, tragic, exciting, gruesome, and most of all compelling. I am only about 25 issues in, but for the greatness found in those 25 issue alone I am putting this on my list.

WARNING: Walking Dead, and Wanted are Adult comic books; hard R / NC17 movie level. While watchmen I would call at least a pg13 to R rated book. These are not for kids.
