Daytripper by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba.

u/all_my_fish · 12 pointsr/books

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.

[Daytripper] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1401229697/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1451851191&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=daytripper&dpPl=1&dpID=51feW5rJfwL&ref=plSrch)... Best thing I have ever read by far.

"Daytripper" is a beautiful and deep read.
"Black Hole" is trippy and existential and has a lot of meat to it.

How about a graphic novel? Try Daytripper.

Daytripper by Gabriel Bà & Fàbio Moon

Thanks for this thread, it will be a cool occasion to advertise this beautiful book that I just finished (In French, because it's my mothertongue. The authors are Brazilian.)

The concept is very simple, but wonderfully efficient: What will be your obituary if you die today?

We follow the main character, Bràs, who shares with Kenny McCormick the fact that he dies at the end of each chapter. But, on the contrary to Kenny, he dies at a different ages in each chapter.

This allows the authors to highlight what is important at each step of the life of their character. Love, in all its forms, filial, friendship or romance, is present in each page of this book. A bit of fantasy adds to the atmosphere a little bit of tenderness and something that is from the domain of dreams...

I really enjoyed reading this book, and I left it with a renewed love for life.

The book is called Daytripper and it’s fucking amazing. Really, really sad. Amazing art.

Daytripper by Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon is one of my all-time favorites and particularly good for magical realism and surrealism in a graphic novel. It's about one guy but every chapter ends in his death, with all the others picking up at a completely different point in his life without reference to his other deaths.

u/paratactical · 3 pointsr/AskWomen

The most recent was Daytripper. It's a great little graphic novel that explores life and death. Really blew me away.

u/Chastain86 · 3 pointsr/IAmA

I put this a little lower, but I'm not opposed to dropping it up here too...

  • Daytripper by Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon. This book is amazing, and well worth a read.

  • Drinking at The Movies by Julia Wertz. A great little series of quick stories about moving to New York City from San Francisco. So good it should be criminal.

  • The Killer by Matz and Luc Jacamon. A surprisingly gripping little story about a contract killer. The art reminds you of some of the classic Tintin stories. As James Franco might say between bong hits, it's soooooooo gooooood.

  • Incognegro by Mat Johnson. The story of a light-skinned black reporter from the North that travels to the South to expose the stories of lynchings in the South. It's amazing. Actually anything by Mat Johnson is equally wonderful.


    I also forgot to mention that Alex Robinson's work (Box Office Poison, Too Cool 2 B Forgotten, Tricked) is so good that I wish I could get it pregnant.

Introduction to Comics


How to Get Into Comic Books (13:40) | Patrick Willems

Consider your intent/commitment. Think about your favorite shows, movies, books, etc. Reading primarily for enjoyment or encyclopedic knowledge? Collecting? Have the time/resources to read 50 or 500 comics per character?

Don’t try to read everything at once. There’s too much. Forget about catching up, continuity, universes, etc. for now. Older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences, so they aren’t necessarily ideal starting points. Writers change often, characters get re-worked, and origins are re-told. Remember, there are many great characters, creators, publishers, etc. to explore.

Pick an interesting character/team and seek their most popular/acclaimed stories. Focus on self-contained, complete stories in one corner of the universe. There will be unexplained references/characters, just persevere or Wiki. Don’t let the tangled web of shared-universe comics overwhelm you. Think of it like solving a jigsaw puzzle one small piece at a time until you finally see the big picture.

Discover your preferences and let them guide you. Don’t get stuck preparing/over-analyzing, just start reading. Do you like/dislike old/new comics? Specific writers/genres? Cartoony/realistic art? Familiar/weird concepts? References/self-contained? All-ages/mature content? Follow these instincts. Didn’t understand a reference? Maybe read that next.

I used to think just like you, until i read this novel.

It's one of the things that make me proud to be brazilian, just read it 'till the end and you'll get what i'm saying.

u/dude_I_disagree · 2 pointsr/booksuggestions

Not a traditional book, but the graphic novel Daytripper by Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon might be exactly what you're looking for.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Nah, I honestly can't stand superhero comics unless there's something really special about them. That said, sry, but one of my first recommendations is a marvel comic called [Runaways] (https://www.comixology.com/Runaways-Vol-1/comics-series/1029)
'Six couples meet up every year for a party and each year each couple brings their child. This year, the children decide to find out what is so special about this annual party, only to find the parents committing murder!'
Maybe it's just because I grew up with the series, but the characters and their development just feels really sincere and organic.
Now, onto stuff you might like a little better:

  • [SAGA] (http://www.amazon.com/Saga-Vol-Brian-K-Vaughan/dp/1607066017/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405020051&sr=8-1&keywords=saga) is an ongoing space-operay type romance/adventure books that's pretty hard to describe. It's crazy imaginative, but again has great writing and sincere characters. Plus the art is gorgeous.

  • [Punk Rock Jesus] (http://www.amazon.com/Punk-Rock-Jesus-Sean-Murphy/dp/1401237681) is a graphic novel that sounds like it might be fitting to your interests. It's about a future where they are able to extract enough dna material from the shroud of turin to produce a clone of the biblical Jesus Christ, there by manually bringing about the second coming of Christ and being able to televise it all. From his birth, to him growing up as a baby. Uhg, sorry but I just think that plot is so cool.

  • [Daytripper] (http://www.amazon.com/Daytripper-Gabriel-Ba/dp/1401229697/ref=pd_sim_b_63?ie=UTF8&refRID=1GD0G6GZC9VN6R8S50V6) is also worth checking out.
    'DAYTRIPPER follows the life of one man, Bras de Olivias Dominguez. Every chapter features an important period in Bras’ life in exotic Brazil, and each story ends the same way: with his death. And then, the following story starts up at a different point in his life, oblivious to his death in the previous issue – and then also ends with him dying again. In every chapter, Bras dies at different moments in his life, as the story follows him through his entire existence – one filled with possibilities of happiness and sorrow, good and bad, love and loneliness.' It's down to earth and realistic, while still having enough room for imagination and beauty to keep it interesting.

    Hopefully that's a wide enough spread to where something might look interesting. Most libraries carry at least one of these books.

This is what you want. A little over $15, but I promise, it's worth it.

u/cypressgreen · 1 pointr/comicbooks

It also depends on what's important to you. I like heavy charaterization, surprises in plot, great art and not knowing if the end will be happy or not. Life isn't all roses, so I don't want everything I read to be all happy happy joy joy.

series:
Locke and Key - my current fav - some horror
Stangers in Paradise - fun and serious drama
Irredeemable - disturbing

One book: Daytripper thoughtful
The Pro - funny
Two-Step - funny
No Hero - a bit disturbing

u/wovenweb · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

this is completely out of the rules so I guess I'm not really entering because it's twice the price you're looking for but I want you/people to see this haha tetris light it is so cool, you can move the pieces around...adfjaidhfadhd

something in the price range: Daytripper one of my favorite graphic novels ever, it is gorgeous and beautiful and intelligent and I wish I had a copy of my own. :) Also: the wifred costume in your wishlist...holy hell, I wish I was rich so I could buy that for you and I could be ryan (the girl version) and you could follow me around and destroy my life.

It doesn't seem like many people are paying attention to 1337_n00b's clarification comment, so I guess I'll write about it a bit.

For a while I'd buy little self-published books, particularly after visiting some shops in Montreal and enjoying their local work. I would try to hit a couple good comic stores every time I visit a new city, which lead to some good stuff and a lot of bad stuff.

What killed it for me was having a friend bring me some local comics back from Dublin. They were just terrible, worse than most webcomics you decide not to read after being interested in their banner ads. They left such a bad taste in my mouth that I was discouraged from exploring local stuff anymore.

The last closest book I picked up to an indie was Justin Madson's Breathers. I don't know if it counts though, since it was a webcomic first, and it got a pile of publicity for years before the trade was released. At least it's self-published? It was pretty good, but I can think of five more popular books that cost less and are better off the top of my head.
