Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series is the first to come in mind. Not only is it some of the best storytelling in the medium, but it was so good that it beat out a lot of actual print stories to win a World Fantasy Award...

Oh, and The Adventure Zone by Griffin McElroy and Carey Pietsch- warning, adult jokes and foul, foul language. They’re based off a podcast and I highly recommend you check it out!

Anything by Shakespeare. I know I know, but it really does make it far more understandable for the masses and non-literary people.

Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld, like the graphic novel version with art by Asiah Fulmore. Her art style is perfection:) the entire book is smothered in shades of purple and I love it. Love Amaya and Autumn :)

Wing of Fire, it is about a group of dragons that were chosen to follow a destiny.
It isn't a full series yet and new graphic novel comes out around every year.
There is also a novel version of it that is complete.

Pedro and me , Judd Winick. Touching tribute to Pedro Zamora and a good memory for those who were teenager in the 90's and grew up watching "The Real World " on MTV.

The Silver Six. I read it in 4th grade so I don’t have the BEST memory, but I’ll try.
It takes place in a futuristic city, with the main character being an orphan named Phoebe. She lives with a robot. You see, she pretends that her parents are still alive to everyone. Even the rent collector. This is because she wants to avoid being taken in by the Child Welfare.
Spoiler Alert.
She gets caught. She, and her new friends, escape the orphanage and must go on an adventure to discover their parents’ past as they realize their parents were linked with each other. They are now on the run, with the enemy right on their trail…

Omg I love graphic novels. This is my kind of post! It depends on what u like to read me personally, I read like the Marvel/DC comics. The Rick and Morty comics series is also pretty good. For mangas I recommend Chainsaw Man or the Deadpool Samuri series those r pretty good. Deadpool comics r pretty good. The 2012 Thunderbolts series is good too. The injustice gods amoung us series is good too if u want a full on story. The 2021 Moon knight comics series is good too. If u need any more recommendations comment on any of my comments and I’ll respond as soon as I can.

The Maximum Ride graphic novel. I loved the regular books and the graphic novelisation got the characters exactly how i imagined them to look.
And also
if you have the time to sit down and read the manga Orange, i highly recommend it.
It's so good.
