Astonishing X-Men: By Whedon & Cassaday: Omnibus

The most notable X-Men stories have always been cornerstones of pop culture. “Astonishing X-Men: By Whedon & Cassaday: Omnibus” is one such example. This comic was a certified hit, winning major awards in the process.

New Avengers: Volume 1: Breakout

After the destruction of the Avengers, Captain America puts together a new team. With astounding character development and a series of engaging subplots, “New Avengers: Volume 1: Breakout” is worth any comic book fan’s time. Joe Cianciotto.

Tetris: The Games People Play

Very different from the other titles on this list, “Tetris: The Games People Play” plays on a more serious tone, examining pixelated nostalgia, politics, and philosophy. Written by Box Brown, he looks at Cold War bureaucracy and parasitic businessmen with the aim of an emotional release. Joe Cianciotto.

Batman: The Long Halloween

One of the most notable storylines of the Caped Crusader in recent memory, “Batman: The Long Halloween” takes place at the start of Batman being Batman. In it, he tries to catch a serial killer named Holiday who is right smack in the middle of a killing spree. Joe Cianciotto.
