Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Bionic Book Worm. Click here for June topics.

This week is a freebie. I chose graphic novels because summer is a perfect time to read books with pictures. Especially if you are on vacation 😉 My list includes a mix of new favorites with classic reads.

1. Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Vol:1 BFF by Amy Reeder and Brandon Montclare

I recently read this graphic novel and loved it. It was cute and quirky. The main character is this super smart girl (moon girl) who befriends a dinosaur while they try to defeat prehistoric men and solve the inhuman gene issue.  It’s awesome.

 

 

2.  Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir by Stan Lee

How does a comic book legend like Stan Lee write his autobiography? In comic book form, of course. And it is incredible.

 

 

 

3. Gen 13 by Jim Lee

I had to go way back in the time machine for this one. I originally read it in college as a mini-series. Loved the story and the illustrations.

 

 

 

4. Wandering Island by Kenji Tsuruta

My first Japanese graphic novel. I’ve only read the first installment.  Definitely worth the read.

 

 

 

 

5. Generation x: classic Vol 1 by Scott Lobdell

A true classic. Next to the traditional X-men (if there is such a thing) this group of teen heroes is my favorite. I loved the series when it came out in the 90s and it’s still great. Just ask my kids.
