J-cob9000:
I was about to start this thread. How coincidental.
Recently I bought V For Vendetta and The Killing Joke. I loved the Killing Joke although it wasn't as long I had expected. V For Vendetta, I have already read it once. I pirated it and read it and then bought it.
I looked at your recommendations and also added them to my wishlist. I'll keep checking this thread.
Uber Ritter:
I'd recommend the trades of Top Ten, which is Allan Moore but is a good deal lighter than Watchman, and in some ways more enjoyable (ie here his brilliant characterization and writing shine without being burdened by so much bleakness).
Queen and Country is a great series about British secret agent Tara Chace. Sure, the adventures of a rather attractive female super-spy don't sound like the makings of great literature or even anything approaching good, but Queen and Country pulls it off beautifully.
Dazed:
Watchmen, without a doubt.
If you do decide to go on a volume buying binge, get Sandman. In fact, fuck it, just buy it anyway, it's utterly amazing.
I've just started Fables, through vol 2 so far, enjoying it a great deal. Walking Dead was good up through vol 3, havent gotten any further.
Professor Snuggles:
Top 10 is great, two volumes, plus a mini series and an OGN. The OGN is fucking amazing.
Also, and I can't recommend these two enough, Demo, by brian wood and Scott Pilgrim, by Brian Lee O'malley. Demo is a collection of single issue stories dealing with issues of power and young people, that starts out about super powers and then just becomes like the best comic ever. Scott Pilgrim, in 4 volumes so far, with 3 more to come, is the story of a young dude trying to make good while dating an american delivery girl ninja. He has to fight her 7 evil exes, get a job, get an apartment, get the girl, and get shows for his band. Brilliant, funny, touching, and it pisses all over the fourth wall.
Other than those, this thread has good recs.
Blue Kitty:
With De El recommending Kingdom Come, you should also get Marvels. it has the same amazing artist and chronicles most of Marvel's history from the perspective of an every day reporter.
