[QUOTE="Oni, post: 161988, member: 380"] There are two sets of graphic novels I collect that I think are about as good as they come. They aren't really fantasy, but they certainly have their fantastical elements. Lone wolf and cub which comes out monthly in a pocket size approx 300 page format. It is the tale of shoguns former executioner who was framed by another clan that wanted his position and now he is traveling with is very young son (around 3 or so) working as an assassin and trying to gain vengence on the clan that framed and him and continues to hunt him. Blade of the Immortal, it doesn't come out as often, buts its you can find them all at any decent book store. Its a samurai book with a supernatural twist. The main character cannot die until he atones for his sins by killing 1000 evil men (or women). He was a great swordsman, but his newfound immortality is slowly causing that to deteriorate. A young aspiring swords woman who's family was wiped out by a rival sword school comes to him and the book follows her quest for vengence and Manji (the main character) trying to keep her alive. Also I highy recomment you check out anything by Crossgen comics, pretty much all they make is fantasy or sci-fi. They have several excellent books, my personal favorites being Meridean and Ruse. I haven't had a chance to check it out, but I hear that their Sojourn is also quite good and it is pretty much pure fantasy. [/QUOTE]
