Kim It would be better if we erase those duplicated ones and only vote for a book for a series.


message 2: by Kenys (new)

Kenys Any chance we can have Watchman pulled from this list? Offbeat and famous or not, it was printed by DC.

I posted a message for the librarians. Unfortunately I can't pull books off the list directly it seems.

Kenys Okay, I gotta ask... are Adventure Pom and Just Us actually graphic novels?


message 5: by Olivia (last edited May 18, 2016 11:20PM) (new)

Olivia Dunlap It may not be Marvel or DC, but Image Comics is FAR from "indie..." Also, Vertigo Comics (publisher of Sweet Tooth) is a child company of DC...
