I am going to provide some suggestions of graphic novels for everyone’s book challenges this year. Some of these I have read, and some are just popular within the genre. I know when I first started reading graphic novels and comics, I was not sure where to begin. There are so many subgenres. I am going to put a star beside my favorites.
