    Batman: The Dark Knight Returnsb,121b,121Off the top of my heads the Jim Lee/Chris Claremont X-Men's were always good.

    seeing two titles by Alan Moore on your list... FROM HELL is his best work, IMO.b,121b,121I was into DMZ for a while.b,121b,121I mostly read indie "comix" like American Splendor...

    font class="post"1b,121b,121I keep waiting for DMZ to live up to its potential. Volume 3 was okay, but I can't recommend it unreservedly.

    If you're just checking out graphic novels, I recommend 100 Bullets, Preacher, Y The last Man, the Authority and Planetary. Seriously good shiet IMO. b,121b,121Oh yeah, no "comic" collection is complete w/o Lone Wolf and Cub.

    img src="http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/bestselling-comics-2006/2775-1.jpg"1b,121b,121This is some next-level visual storytelling that has yet to be surpassed, IMO. But then again I am an old-school comic book head.b,121b,121For newer stuff, I liked this seriesb,121b,121img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1b/Avengers_Forever.jpg/250px-Avengers_Forever.jpg"1

    cosine on Y The Last Man... it's really good for a non'traditional' comic book. I liked the Ultimates and Ultimate Spider-Man, tho a lot of people didn't feel the same way. But I thought the art and storylines were good in both titles, tho Ultimate Spider-Man kinda fell off after the Venom issues. The first few trade paperbacks of each title are worth the read and you can probably frind them at a library..b,121b,121I would also recommend reading Watchmen and Kingdom Come. I have never met anyone that didn't like those books.

    My favorites of my early pre-teen & early teenage years:b,121b,121CEREBUSb,121LOVE & ROCKETSb,121AMERICAN SPLENDORb,121MOON KNIGHT (the original Siencowicz series)b,121RONINb,121X-MEN (John Byrne and the first Paul Smiths)b,121TOMB OF DRACULAb,121JUDGE DREDDb,121b,121I read almost all of the big Marvel and several of the big DC titles of the time (1980-1983) but those are the ones that stuck with me the most, and would probably be worth revisiting now.

    oh yeah! judge dredd was super tubular as well! the wolverine miniseries was dope. um, frank miller daredevil, mcfarlane spideys, um, um. i forget. i liked crisis as well, though it was a bit unorganized.
