Oh ya’ll have listed some great reads in here. My inner, okay, not so inner, comic geek girl is squee-ing up a storm.
Some I’d recommend even though most of them are already listed:
Preacher
Y the Last Man
Ex Machina
Kingdom Come
Swamp Thing
100 Bullets
Runaways
Hellblazer
Stray Bullets
Strangers In Paradise
Bone
** for pure cheese value but a pretty good story none the less Camelot 3000
Anything & everything by Frank Miller, Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman. If getting Stardust you must get the Charles Vess illustrated version not the written novel.
