8. Sin City

(Dark Horse Comics)

Sin City is universally recognized as the last good Frank Miller comic.

It chronicles the decline in sanity of one of comics' best creators into the racist psycho that would write Holy Terror. Woof. But most of Sin City is pretty solid.

Hard Goodbye is a great story with a good villain and an interesting protagonist, and That Yellow Bastard is the best Sin City story of all time. It's heightened noir, where every man is a monster and every woman is a prostitute. I seriously think every female character in the Hard Goodbye shows up topless at one point, and some of them are introduced that way. It's a tough read if you don't do it with your tongue in your cheek.

Not liking Sin City is a perfectly valid opinion to have, it's admittedly gratuitous and sexist and all that stuff. But if you can put up with it, you have a great read ahead of you.
