It's nothing earth-shattering, but I'm going to Tampa on Sunday for a week of training. I want to get a new Graphic Novel or trade to take with me. I've been leaning towards an "Essential" or "Showcase" collection, for the simple fact that there's more bang for your buck there. So...suggestions?  |

I've only seen the Essentials, so I can't really compare. But an essential will last you quite a while.
Of course, if you really want a good long read, buy the Bone One Volume Edition.

If you don't have it already Essential X-Men vol 2 is good. The best parts of the CC/Bryne run. Took me about six hours to read.

From Hell. Probably the best thing Alan Moore has written.
But if you're leaning towards an Essential, I would say you take one of the lesser knowns, like Essential Nova or X-Factor. Essential Godzilla if you're feeling particularly adventurous.
I could recommend a Showcase but first I would need to know if you enjoy the type of stories from that particular era.

It's pretty short but JLA/JSA: Virtue And Vice is a good read.
