Ok living in the UK it's hard getting a good choice of comics to read, seeing that i have no specialist stores near me i.e forbidden planet, Its really hard.
Any way i have started getting into Graphic Novels (I've got Hush pt 1 & 2, is their a follow up in Gotham Knights?) and i wanna ask What is a good read like when Robin: Unmasked comes out will it be a good read etc.
I figured i would ask here because, Hell your Bat fans im sure you lot know what a good read is.
Thanks in advance.

[glow=purple,2,300]If your gonna go the graphic novel route, I highly recommend the following:
1)The Dark Knight Returns
2)The Killing Joke
3)Batman:Year One
4)Batman: The Long Holloween
5)Batman: Dark Victory
6)Batman: The Last Arkham
7)Robin: Flying Solo
(Two very cool Batman JLA stories)
8)JLA: New World Order
9)JLA: Tower of Bable
10)Nightwing: The Tie that Binds
And if your into "reality based" superhero stories, pick up the first trade paper back of Supreme Power. [/glow]

i usuallly get them from scifiwarehouse.com they are 25% off most graphic novels at the moment however it takes about a month to get them at your door step. my nearest FP is In Croydon, which is a long bus ride.. If your looking for any batman comic their is one that has in the last year come to the Uk its called Batman: Legends(£2.40) and has so far been printing Hush so i havent bought many yet cos i got volume 1 and 2 all ready however in October they will start printing the Arc "As the Crow Flies" so i cant wait for that.
It also takes me about 40 mins to get to London by train where abouts do you live?
Oh and welcome

Flamebird "Plus we get all the cartoons later."
I know what you mean. Do you have Toonami? Hopefully we wont have to wait much longer to see Justice League Unlimited or The Batman. On the Plus side UK has already aired the last few episodes Of Teen Titans before the US, which are only seeing them now ;D
