The Goon?
My antiquated 90s list:
Hellblazer/Constantine.
Transmetropolitan.
Stray Bullets.
Yes! Transmetropolitan!
Saga, Fables, Paper Girls, East of West, Sex Criminals
Pretty much everything in there is supernatural. There are 75 issues. There are no superheroes. And I think that it's safe to say that it's generally highly-regarded.
Just don’t read up on the author…
Ever run across sweet tooth? Amazing story
Watched the show, been meaning to read the comic
The show is good. Very different in some ways, but good. The comic is amazing though
Usagi Yojimbo
Judge Dredd
One of my all time favorite comics is Skydoll. Don't be fooled by the Disney looking art. It's a critique on society, sexuality, and media.
Bone by Jeff Smith. Perfection.
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run
The Invisibles
100 bullets
East of west
The Invisibles
Black Science
Criminal
Fear Agent
Sex Criminals
Lol, it's like you have been reading from my bookshelf.
I'll add
Elephantmen
Atomic Robo
Lazarus
(OP, Monstress is so good! )
If you are willing to read some shorter runs - Black Monday Murders is good, and the Night Eaters.
Gonna add a +1 to 100 Bullets. I absolutely loved it. The art work, the story, the characters, it was all just so well done. Definitely one of my favorites
Some old ones:
The Invisibles
JTHM
Halo Jones
MythAdventures
The Incal
Grey, (manga)
What about European classics? Valerian, Yoko Tsuno, Spirou etc?
Gideon Falls
It's only at 11 issues, but The Seasons has been fantastic and is currently ongoing
Ice Cream Man
The Unwritten: the bitter son of a famous fantasy writer gets embroiled with a shadowy cabal that has been controlling society for millennia by controlling the fiction we consume
Only 16 issues, but Power Fantasy is absolutely fantastic. It's a world where a good percentage of the population got superpowers, but these powers are barely significant, to the point where society doesn't change much. The thing is, a handful of people have the destructive capacity of the USA's nuclear arsenal. The story follows the politics and dynamics of these powers and how governments and society interact with them.

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.
