I am trying to get into some comics and am looking for "patrician-tier/TASTE-tier" comics to dig into? I really enjoyed the classics and the anime that pop in those 3x3 threads; same with literaure. But recently I realized how gorgeous some comics can be. I started reading a few online but don't want to rob myself of the experience of reading them on nice physical copies. Is there a chart/list out there of really good comics, bordering on snobbish taste as those end up usually being fairly good.
A few that I am considering getting are Ody-C, Marvels (with Alex Ross illustrating), Sandman, God is Dead, Tokyo Ghost and a few others. Any tips for comics that are gorgeous aesthetics while also having a good story? But not overly long aka can easily fit on my bookshelf
Sometimes there are rabbit holes that aren't worth getting into. Comics are like that. Imagine following a rabbit made out of shit and crawling into his shit-smeared labyrinth den, and getting lost in the foul darkness. Once you reemerge on the anus-end of the den you will be empty handed, turd like, and you will realize that the rabbit never existed at all. It was all hype, smoke, mirrors and latent homosexuality. You were the rabbit all along and you've been had. This is the point in which you've wasted a shitload of money and time on this inanity and you'll be in company of many other butt bunnies who've been had before you. They're a protective and jaded lot, and they scat masturbate each other over capeshit, putting on airs about how awesome and gangsta it all is.
But it's not gangsta, it's not gangsta at all. This obsolete and sterile medium has nothing to offer to anyone. You run OP, you run and don't look back.

Well, I would argue that getting comics with the idea of "What's the very best?" is not ideal if you havent read any at all, that being said I feel that those you mentioned are well worth at the very least chekcing them out and then considering buying. I would also recomend checking out George Perez run on Wonder Woman seen that you so are avid of the Classical Greeks, oh and are great, I havent read Mr. Miracle, too, but again you may not "get" why are they so great at first read.

If you like Alex Ross art look into Absolute World's Greatest Heroes by Paul Dini and Alex Ross. Can still probably find it for $50 or less than $75.
Another universally loved artist/comiccreator is James Stokoe. Look up Orc Stain and see if you'd want some like that. If you like Godzilla or Alien Stokoe has done comics miniseries for both of those that have been great.
A supernatural comic about a doctor fighting demons and monsters, but not in a "the hidden world of magic that cannot he explained in mundane world's logics" kinda bullshit, but like an actual doctor going after them like they're Cthulhu sized viruses and there is a scientific/consistent cure for them (even if that cure is a magical broadsword).
Only 2 volumes but I still hold out hope for more content.
>I am trying to get into some comics Stop. Just turn around and go do something else with your life. Comics are not worth it.

It probably is, considering it feels easily [find/replace] you could have for comics and it would work for other things. Especially since it doesn't go into actual specifics wrong with the medium, just says it is bad.
