 | Death Note, Vol. 1 by Tsugumi Ohba
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.80 A great manga!

Instead of killing off his enemies, he kills off convicts and developes a God complex in the process

 | Johnny The Homicidal Maniac: Director's Cut by Jhonen Vasquez
Buy new: $13.57 / Used from: $11.91 Created by the same genius behind Invader Zim. Nny is a man driven to kill in order to retaliate from harsh words and to keep the "monster" behind the wall at bay. Made for mature, unimpressionable audiences. The dark humor is epic. I can't get over the excellent development of character and the drawings. One of my favorite books, highly recommended
