Little known DC and Marvel graphic novels

The Hood. The street-level supervillain story of my dreams. The star is a petty crook who dreams of being a merc-for-hire supervillain badass like the Shocker or Constrictor. He stumbles across a demonic set of superpowers and uses them to make a name for himself in Marvel's New York.
It's like Superior Foes of Spider-Man played deadly serious. He's become a recurring 616 character, but the original MAX run is very self-contained. If you love the gritty crime shit in Breaking Bad, The Wire, Sopranos, etc., this is the graphic novel for you.
that one with Wolverine and a Wendigo (as in, a random Wendigo, not THE Alpha-Flight member Wendigo) where there is a
That shit FUCKED ME UP WHEN I WAS A KID FAM :(

kid hiding from the wendigo,and the kid has his dog with him, and the dog starts growling as the Wendigo looks for them and the kid goes "shhh pls keep quit shhhh pls" until he has to break the dog's neck so it wouldnt give their location to the wendigo :(

Do trades count?
The first trade of Swamp Thing from Alan Moore is often lauded but it seems few people actually read it. I still have my first edition. It is exquisite.

The Wake on DC's Vertigo imprint is one of my favorites. It's a story told in two parts, the first being horror scifi that tells about the beginning of the end of humanity's reign, the second taking place a couple hundred years in the future in a post apocalyptic setting that's more Odyssey than horror. I don't want to ruin the story so go give it a read.
One of my favorite DC graphic novels is Camelot 3000. It is one of those good series runs that DC put out that isn't superhero oriented.
What's yours?
This is an excellent choice. Nobody i know had read it when i asked them.
Damn I forgot about that. My cousin or something had it. Read it when I was a kid. He had a bunch of comics with only the first issue or maybe one early. I never asked him but I guess he was kind of into comics.
He also had the first issue of Power Pack. DonĀ“t know how unknown this is but man I loved that one. Need to get a hold on some more of that.
Calling collections Graphic Novels always sounds wrong to me.
Since everything's collected anyway, you're better off just saying 'storylines.'
Like, Tom King's Vision is probably a high art volume to a lot of people, but I read it as a regular ol' monthly.

Not sure, although probably not because DC wanted people to forget the Mr E character existed for some reason.
I think TPB and limited series runs collected are interchangeable these days.
That's too bad. From the thread title I thought we were on graphic novels and trades. š
DC's Wednesday Comics is still one of the coolest things ever:
China Mieville's Dial H is excellent:
I have the hardcover of this, it's absolutely huge š

Wednesday Comics is one of my most favourite things to have come from DC, Mark Chiarello was the editor for that, Solo & Batman Black & White which are also pretty great. Doesn't seem to be with DC anymore though.
