    Sin City, Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth, Watchmen, Locke & Key, Fables.

    Out of any of those, read the Arkham Asylum one at the very least. The most amazing Batman comic I've ever read.

    I like graphic novels, but things other than superhero stuff. Anything by "Jason", John Porcellino or Adrian Tomine. Here's a list!

    Webcomics by Mare Odomo, Kate Leth, Kate Beaton, Grant Snider or Noelle Stephenson are all ones I am fond of, too.

    Watchmen for sure. Every graphic novel fan has to read it. It's a rite of passage.

    Walking Dead is also good. For superhero stuff, I absolutely love the artwork of Alex Ross. His style is beautiful. So I would recommend Marvels, Kingdom Come, and Justice from his work. Also Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is a classic.

    If you like Spider-Man at all, the Ultimate Spider-Man series is a pretty fun read.

    Today I discovered Hellblazer, and/or Constantine. It looks amazing! It also looks like they're making a tv show to premiere this fall.

    As Jinx & Del stated, Watchmen is great.

    I'm starting to get into comics again, as I keep seeing all the movies my interest has piqued. I bought Cpt. America Winter Soldier last week but have only skimmed through it so far. But all I've heard is great things.

    Alright! So, Watchmen is definitely on the list.
    As is Kingdom Come and The MAXX. The MAXX seems really interesting.

    Oh. Sandman is also on my list of need to reads. I always forget about that.

    I was just about to say Sandman! The other big thing missing from this thread is Transmetropolitan. It is the best comic. If you only ever read one comic it should be Transmet.

    Judge Dredd
    Tank Girl
    Preacher
    Y: The Last Man
    Maus (depressing as hell but absolutely amazing)
    Empire

    There's a superhero comic whose name I absolutely cannot remember right now but if I find it, I'll let you know.

    I know very little about comic books and the like. I know more about Manga. I could recommend some of that if you're interested, The list you provided leans more towards western though.
