Graphic Novels Challenge

Rules and guidelines:

* The challenge starts on January 1st 2010 and ends on December 31st (but we don't mind you starting early.)
* You don't have to make a list beforehand (but you can, of course! Lists are great because they give ideas to people who aren't sure what to read. And if you do make one, don't feel forced to stick to it!)
* There will be mini-challenges! Look for a post with more info on that soon.
* Overlaps with other challenges are totally fine.

The Levels: You're more than free to adjust your level of participation after the challenge has begun
Beginner (3 Comics or Graphic Novels)
Intermediate (3-10)
Expert (10+)

I'm going for Intermediate, and I just love the range of that level!
