Okay, I did not know where else to post this, but I'm looking for some good comic related novels. Not GRAPHIC novel, just novel. I read through a few back in the day, but have never been able to find anything else again. I almost like them better than graphic novels because it is cheaper, and get more out of them.

I've read xmen and Star Trek crossover, Spider-Man and xmen crossover, time arrow trilogy, cosmic cube trilogy, but have not been able to find much else.

Looked at amazon, but was wondering if you peeps have seen anything good.

Thanks,
Happy ASM week.

Are you only looking for novels that have MARVEL and DC characters? Because I can name a few that are great novels - and it would be a shame to dismiss them with such a narrow filter. I'm no English Professor, I like books with action and laughs in them, and I enjoyed all of these:

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - by Michael Chabon.

Soon I Will Be Invincible - by Austin Grossman.

Wildcards series - by George RR Martin and others. (not as much great literature like the two above, but inventive, engrossing and there's a LOT of them.)

Greg Rucka's Queen and Country spy comics ended up producing 3 novels, in addition to the comics themselves. You won't have to have read the comics to understand them.

The novels:
- A Gentleman's Game (2004)
- Private Wars (2005)
- The Last Run (2010)

Sure, I'm open to super hero based ones, doesn't need to just be marvel or DC

Christopher Golden's first few Hellboy novels are pretty good.

Elliot S. Maggin wrote the following novels, which I recommend to anyone.

Kingdom Come (novelization of the original GN by Alex Ross and Mark Waid).
Superman novels - Last Son of Krypton, Miracle Monday

Warren Ellis wrote a novel titled Crooked Little Vein. Seems to be a detective story with some weirdness to it. Never read it myself, though I'm considering it (if I can stop spending money on clix).

I work in an English department. I'll second Grossman's book, and I'll also suggest Sidekicks, by Jack Ferraiolo.
