2. The Walking Dead
Okay, okay, this one was OBVIOUSLY gonna be on here. So obviously, in fact, that I couldn't make it number one on the list because it would be a massive cop-out. So I'm putting it here.
But it is really, seriously great. I've never been able to get any enjoyment out of the show, but the comic series is something I am clinically addicted to. I've been following Carl, Rick, and company's adventures for years and, holy god, am I invested.
When I finally started watching Game of Thrones this year, my first reaction was, "Oh, this is so popular because it's actually really, really good", and Walking Dead elicited a similar response. It is a book that nails the passage of time like nothing else. Characters are not just ALLOWED to age; it's how they develop.
The Carl of Issue 1 and the Carl of Issue 150 are identifiably the same person, but are very, very different in most every way. Walking Dead is a hardcore character piece, and one that will probably never stop being a must-read.
