    Velvet is not a graphic novel. It's a collection of single issues.

    Collections of single issues are also considered graphic novels by Nielsen BookScan. It's just not an original graphic novel, though. Graphic novel as a term is pretty much to avoid the "comics are for kids" mentality via the book market.

    Yes, big time. If you want to be a real stickler, you could sort of count this book as part of the <i>Criminal</i> series, but if you've never read any of those it doesn't matter, since it's entirely self-contained. And once you've read it, you will want to go back and read all the other Brubaker / Phillips books anyway, because you'll be a fan.

    Pride of Baghdad by Brian K. Vaughan, and Niko Henrichon comes to mind.
    Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

    Immortal X-Men - Once & Future- X-Cellent - X-Men: Red

    Nobody cares about what you don't like, they barely care about what you do like.
