House of M

Graphic novels are in many cases just a series of comic books republished in hardcover. That's fine as that can make the experience like watching an HBO series on DVD. You get a great story line that you can consume at your pace rather the publication schedule.

The House of M is one of the better storylines out there. Something goes wrong with Magneto's powerful children and the next thing you know, mutants run the Earth under the not so benevolent lead of Magneto. Only Wolverine is aware of the true past and he tangles with past friends and foes to set the world right.

This one ends with a big bang of which many will already be aware. If you are not then you are in for a treat.
