Reading Comics at Your Gainesville Apartment
While you can easily occupy your free time with the many wonderful community amenities at Bellamay Grand Apartment Homes, there may be some days where you just want to relax and enjoy a peaceful afternoon indoors. A great way to spend such a day is by reading comic books. Comics are a wonderful storytelling medium because they combine excellent prose with wonderful artwork, and they can cover a huge range of topics, from superheroes to murder mysteries. And while the world of comics can seem daunting to the uninitiated, there is no need to get lost in an endless stream of numbered issues and convoluted continuities thanks to the advent of “graphic novels.” Graphic novels are a great way for first-time readers to get into comics because they are self-contained stories that require no prior knowledge or information.
Here are just a few of the most highly regarded graphic novels currently in print, any of which would make for a great read at your Gainesville apartment:
- Astro City, Volume 1 by Kurt Busiek
- Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross
- Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday
- Maus, the Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman
- All Star Superman by Grant Morrison
- Batman Year One by Frank Miller
- Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller
- The Walking Dead, Volume 1 by Robert Kirkman
- Hellboy, Volume 1 by Mike Mignola
- Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan
- Superman for All Seasons by Jeph Loeb
- V for Vendetta by Alan Moore
- Watchmen by Alan Moore
Even though some of these tales can be gripping, try not to spend too much time reading, or you’ll miss out on our pool, community clubhouse, and many other amenities.
