Local, by Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly. In which a girl has emotions in a bunch of places.
I've had a tough time enjoying comics lately, but found Local to be the bees knees.

I might get some guff for this, but I generally enjoy the Minx line of books from DC. Sure, it's aimed at teenage girls, but I love the stories, they're separate from each other, and the people involved have put out some awesome stuff, like Brain Wood and Ross Campbell.

--- Quote from: rynne on 09 Dec 2008, 05:13 ---Pretty much anything by Alan Moore. People have already correctly cited Watchmen, From Hell and V for Vendetta, but if you're in the mood for lighter fare his America's Best comics are great too. Plus, they're limited-run comics so the entire series are usually just a few trade paperbacks long.
Top Ten is a Moore's homage to police procedurals, imagined in a city where every cop, criminal and average citizen has superpowers. The whole thing is chock-full of background gags playing off all kinds of superhero comics. Its spin-off Smax pulls the same trick for the fantasy/sword-and-sorcery genre. [3 trade paperbacks: Top Ten Vols. 1 & 2 are a single long story line, Smax is a one self-contained TPB. There's a prequel book, Top Ten: Forty-Niners but I haven't read that to give suggestions.

The '49ers is quite good. Not as good as the two trades, but quite good.

I third the Bone reccomendation. I'm addicted to it. But I refuse to buy the shitty all-volumes-in-one-poorly-bound-book edition. I'm buying the nice, crisp, full coulour ones, one book at a time. It's so hard to not go apeshit and buy all of them at once, but it's better this way. The anticipation, the excitement... And they're SO much better in colour.

Did you actually read the issue? It was one of the top reviewed single issues of the last year's worth of Spider-Man.
