Reddit reviews Anya's Ghost

I don't read a lot of action-y graphic novels, so I can't really help you with finding more stuff like Watchmen, Wanted, etc. (However, you have to promise me you'll read Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.)

But I can recommend more laid-back graphic novels if you're ever in the mood for something different! Give American Born Chinese, Anya's Ghost, or Daytripper a shot sometime.

Persepolis and Maus are also graphic novel must reads, no matter what genre you usually favor. And Scott Pilgrim was super popular recently, with great cause.

And, if you're willing to settle down for a long haul and read your comics backwards, I really can't recommend Fullmetal Alchemist enough. 27 volumes, but it's the best action series I've ever read and one of my all-time favorites of any sort of media. Check out a stack of it from the library and you'll fly right through it. That's what I did one afternoon, and my time has never been better spent.

Edit: More suggestions, typos.

If she likes Adventure Time (or if she hasn't heard of it) they did a fun run from their gender-bent AU called Fionna and Cake, and a run called Marceline and the Scream Queens. Lots more in the Adventure Time universe, but those in particular are great for a 10 y.o. girl.

Anya's Ghost is a great YA graphic novel.

OOOOoooo Bone! That's what got me started. It's a giant fantasy epic that is HUGE! It is all available to read for free on that website, but I recommend checking it out of the library because it's much more fun to read in book form - get the color reprint volumes. I didn't like it in black and white. (Even if your local library doesn't have it, one in your state should, and usually you can put it on hold and they will send it to your local library for you to pick up).

Editing to second the Tintin recommendation! I ate those up in 5th grade. Again - I really think the library is the way to go for some of these because they add up fast! The Tintin collection will run you out a few hundred if you get the best editions (the single story, full-size prints).

As everyone else is saying, it depends on your definition of "obscure." But recently, I very much enjoyed Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol, Ivy by Sarah Oleksyk and Empowered by Adam Warren.
