Clobbersaurus:

BONE
Kabuki
X-Force/X-statix

MusicScribbles:
Yes to Bone, yes.
Also, Khar, what about Osamu Tezuka. Apollo's Song was pretty great, check that out too.
malfeasance:
A lot of people look straight to Alan Moore for the perfect example of art-comics. I've never been able to handle Moore, he just doesn't tell stories the way I like them. Neil Gaiman is much more my style, I'm yet to read/watch anything with him behind it that I didn't love. An up and coming comic that's pretty exciting is the Exterminators, which is full of gross bugs exploding etc. It has no big names in the creative team but it's amazingly involving and funny. It's at its second trade (in Australia, probably up to 5 in the States) but I expect good things. Also the Jeph Loeb/ Tim Sale run of Batman comics (Long Halloween, Haunted Knight, Dark Victory) are really the best thing mainstream DC has going.

I would also like to add From Hell to this list. While extremely hefty, it's worth the read.
I don't feel like the original poster is still using the forums though, or is still checking this thread for that matter.
Is all of this for naught?
I suggest that any further recommendations be to the forums as a whole, and be accompanied by some sort of description of the title.
I'll start.
From Hell is a 572 page 'graphic novel' (*Cough* comic *cough*) by Alan Moore, and illustrated by Eddie Campbell. It is about Jack The Ripper, if that helps (Although it's more likely you've heard of the movie, which is different, heh.). The story mainly revolves around a character named Gull. Pick this up if you are interesting in Jack the Ripper and Alan Moore, and a story that has Mr. Moore speculating JtR's identity and possible motives.
