Yes, I'm serious. Metal Gear Solid 4 is the videogame equivalent of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns which is the greatest graphic novel ever written and according to the greatest American novelist of the twentieth century Stephen King, "The Finest piece of comic art ever written."

Sorry if your Wii and 360 bias won't allow you to accept that fact.

 

 

Also, though I'm not very well read in graphic novels, I'm fairly sure that a graphic novel about Batman written by a genre writer isn't the height of the medium.

 

Paul has you there, Garcian. You just gave him his first victory, lol. On all the "best graphic novels" lists you'll find, there are probably two universal novels on them, and those would be Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, and Watchmen.

If there was a third, it'd probably be Year Zero, which is also a Batman graphic novel. Surprisingly(or unsurprisingly to graphic novel and comic fans) Batman has always been a very compelling subject that has drawn the attention of the best artists in the medium.

....so yes, lol. A Batman graphic novel is the pinnicle of the genre, along with a novel about a dude in an Owl outfit doing the girlfriend this blue guy... ;D

Better than Blackhole, better than From Hell, better than League. Batman:TDKR, Year Zero, and Watchmen. Those are it. Surprising, no?

 

First off: Year One.

Second: Sandman kicks the holy living dog Hell out of every Batman story Frank Miller ever wrote. Frank Miller writes pulp. His works are not the height of the medium. His best work, which is arguably literature, is Ronin. Which is stomped by V for Vendetta, Moore's run on Swamp Thing, the original Sentry series... I could go on.
