What are the best comics/graphic novels i should read?

What are their superpowers? Who writes them, Marvel or DC?

Sandman and Hellblazer are both good alternatives to Cape stuff if you have even a passing interest in the occult

Read them, user. Read anything by Oesterheld.

Jonah Hex No Way Back
Fury My War Gone By
We3
Kraven's Last Hunt (pic related)
Starlight (it's a fun book, not transcendental but refreshing when compared to the other books on the list)
Batman Year One
Superman For All Seasons
Planetary
Judge Dredd Complete Case Files Vol. 5 (my personal favorite but all of the CCF's are really good)

OP specifically uses a cape book by a big two cape publisher as OP image and Mistah Superior Chimes In

Get off the computer, Geoff.
Your Bo Duke dolls aren't going to play with themselves and you know your father only gave you the extra allowance when you agreed you needed them for 'daily playtime'

Avoid this at all costs.

"Cerebus, as if I need to say so, is still to comic books what Hydrogen is to the Periodic Table." - Alan Moore

You can hate Cerebus and the author and its audience, but if you care about comics, you should read all of Dave Sim's work as soon as possible.

Grell's Green Arrow run
Morrison's DP run
Moore's Swamp Thing run
Morrison's All Star Superman
Miller's Batman Year One & TDKR
Ordway's The Power of Shazam graphic story
Spider-man Blue

Some of the capes I'd recommend.

But OP is not asking for more capeshit, is he? Obviously he wants good comics since after reading Watchmen he doesn't need more capes.

Why not both. Its not like he specified.

Because he's asking for the best, user.

lol no

Step aside, pleb

And why not the best of both worlds. They're just personal subjective recommendations anyway. Quit being snotty and post your recs instead of shitting up the thread already.

After all he did say 'which are your recommendations as must read' not give me your favorite non-cape recs because I'm a big boy and I wear big boy pants.

It got a colourised American release by Epic, so have a pre-emptive "fuck off" if you're going to reply "hurr not comics durr" to this post. Also Otomo's other major work, Domu, is also extremely worth reading.

Adding to what is already mentioned:

The movie is better. Having Akira as mute autistic child is lame as is the entire second half in the Post-apocalyptic Tokyo. Even the ending is worse in the manga. Hell Domu is a better comic than the manga Akira.

I wouldn't say either the manga or the movie are good. The art is amazing, though.

Love and Rockets
Kabuki
American Splendor, and really everything by Harvey Pekar.
The Eternaut
Blast
Herbie Popnecker
Asterios Polyp
Enigma
Stray Toasters

Kabuki in particular is one of my favorites and really, really, underrated. Then again I can see why many people wouldn't like it. Personally I think pretentious monologues accompanied by surreal imagery is my favorite genre. Probably why I also like Evangelion so much.

>pretentious monologues accompanied by surreal imagery
For some reason, this is very unappealing to me. However, surreal monologues paired with surreal imagery is my shit.

Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O'Malley and Seconds also by Bryan Lee O'Malley
