I think 'Old Man Logan' is one. It has an amazing story set in a post - apocalyptic world. Then there's 'Wolverine: Weapon X' which is very intense. 'Wolverine: Origin' too. It's a great exploration of his past.
The top ones would be 'Wolverine and the X - Men' as it shows his role within the team. 'X - Men: Days of Future Past' with Wolverine's time - traveling adventure. Also, 'Wolverine: The End' which gives a conclusion - like feel to his story. These are recommended because they each offer different perspectives on Wolverine, be it his relationships, his powers, or his place in the X - Men universe.
Definitely 'Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe'. It's a must - read for any Deadpool fan. It shows his extreme side and how he can turn the Marvel Universe upside down. Another is 'Deadpool by Daniel Way'. It's a long - running series that really gets into the nitty - gritty of Deadpool's mind. And 'Deadpool Classic' which has the foundational stories that started it all for Deadpool.
I highly recommend 'Laika' by Nick Abadzis. It tells the story of the first dog in space from a unique perspective. The female characters in it add depth to the story. Another one is 'Through the Woods' by Emily Carroll. Her work often features female protagonists in dark, fairy - tale - like stories. And 'Jem and the Holograms' is a classic in its own right, with strong female characters and a fun, pop - culture - filled story.
A great and scary graphic novel is 'Scary Godmother'. It has a unique take on the world of monsters and witches. The art style and the stories told within are both fun and a bit spooky. 'Wytches' is also very scary. It shows a world where wytches are real and they prey on humans in the most disturbing ways. The atmosphere created in the graphic novel is one of constant dread. 'Invincible' has some very intense and scary moments too, especially when dealing with the more powerful and malevolent villains that the hero has to face.
'Daredevil: Guardian Devil' is a must - read. It has a complex and engaging plot that involves Daredevil protecting a baby that might be the Antichrist. It really tests Daredevil's moral compass and makes for a great read.
Definitely 'Sherlock Holmes' stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes' brilliant deductive reasoning in solving various crimes has made these stories timeless. 'Crime and Punishment' by Fyodor Dostoevsky can also be considered. Although it's more of a psychological exploration of a crime, it's still a very important work in the crime - related literature genre. Raskolnikov's inner turmoil and his actions are deeply analyzed in this novel.
I would highly recommend 'Solo'. It offers a fresh take on Bond. The story is full of twists and turns, and the art is quite distinct. It shows Bond in some rather unique situations that we haven't seen much in other Bond media.
Highly recommended is 'Batman: Endgame'. It has a very intense story where the Joker returns in a big way and challenges Batman like never before. The art is top - notch. Another one is 'Batman: Detective Comics' in the New 52. It has some great detective stories, which is what Batman is all about. It shows his intelligence and his ability to solve complex mysteries. And 'Batman: Son of Batman' is also good. It explores the relationship between Batman and Damian Wayne, his son, in an interesting way.
I highly recommend 'The Boys'. It has a post - apocalyptic feel in terms of the corrupt world it portrays, where superheroes are more like villains. 'V for Vendetta' is also great. Set in a dystopian future that can be seen as post - apocalyptic in nature, it's about a masked man fighting against an oppressive regime. 'Akira' is a classic. It has a post - apocalyptic Tokyo filled with gangs, psychic powers, and a lot of chaos.
I highly recommend 'Watchmen' by Alan Moore. It's a deconstruction of the superhero genre which can be seen as a form of epic fantasy. The complex characters, the alternate history setting and the deep themes make it a must - read. The art is also very detailed and adds to the overall atmosphere of the story.
'Batman: No Man's Land' is also a great pick. The story takes place in a Gotham that has been cut off from the rest of the world. Scarecrow thrives in this lawless and desolate environment. It gives a different perspective on his character as he takes advantage of the fear and despair around him.
