We got a bunch of graphic novels for cheap when this website was going out of business a while ago. Which ones in this pile are worth reading?

Batman Night of the Owls
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers volume 2
Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions
By the Sword X-O Manowar
The Bakerstreet Four
The Michelangelo Code Archer & Armstrong
Orchid
Valiant Zeroes and Origins
Turok Dinosaur Hunter
Letter 44 Volume I:Escape Velocity
The Mighty Avengers The Ultron Initiative
Quantum and Woody
Enter: Ninjak X-O Manowar
Rabbids 1.BWAAAAAAAAH!
Smite The Pantheon War
Habitat
Warzones! 1872
Fear Nothing volume one
Gotham By Midnight Volume I We Do Not Sleep

I also got Gwenpool volume 1, but I read the shit out of that when I first got it. Been wanting to get the rest of them.

A compendium of the first comic series? I wouldn't say it's necessarily worth reading, but it should offer a tinge of nostalgia.

Batman Night of the Owls


I've never liked anything involving the Court of Owls.

I'm torn between being impressed that there's so many Valiant books in there, and being sad because they're from the new line, which I never really managed to get into.

I really loved the original X-O Manowar concept, and Archer & Armstrong was a cool idea. No idea whether the new versions are worth reading, though.

Basically a secret society of rich people in Gotham that wants to eliminate crime through killing iirc. Think a more high society league of assassins.

Fair enough.

My son absolutely loves them, and I'm not quite sure why entirely.

How old is he? Maybe he just likes the masks.

Oh I didn't know that was from the comics. I thought it was just Gotham making up some crappy villains.

Yet another reason why DC should stop creating new Batman rogues. It's a secret society in Gotham that's been around forever yet Batman and everybody else hasn't seen a trace of it except maybe by retcon (although technically DC had done *another* fucking continuity reset some time before then so... I guess it's technically fair game).

The Court employs what could charitably be described as zombie-acrobat-assassins known as Talons to do its bidding and, like most fictional large-scale secret societies alleged to have existed for ages, the Court is poorly written and just a fucking silly concept.
