Recommend me some comics!

[woodaba]

So, with Batman's Court of Owls arc, and how bloody amazing it has been so far, (damn you yanks, we're only on Issue 7#), I've started to get into comics again for the first time in a while. I picked up A Serious House on Serious Earth, which I found fascinating, if not traditonally enjoyable, and I hunger for more. Although I mentioned only Batman comics, I am by no means restricted to those. I started to lose my interest in comics around 2005, and dropped off completely after One More Day happened. So, is there anything I should take a look at, post it here! Anything goes!

I'm know I've seen this thread before recently, but I can't find it, I think my brain is mixing all the comic threads together.

OT: Adding to the Vertigo list, Fables.
You can get the deluxe edition, which combines 10 issues per book and some extra goodies. It's a good way to get into the series.

I thought about that one, but that's specifically about obscure comics, I'm pretty sure I saw one about mainstream comics sometime a few days ago...

It listed series like the Sandman and whatnot.

If you like Batman:

Husha and Batman RIP are very enjoyable reads with interesting mystery stories. The Killing Joke is the best Joker comic out there. Batman and Robin: Reborn is also pretty cool with a different Batman and Robin to Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson/Jason Todd/Tim Drake.

Awesome Marvel ones are:

Spiderman: Maximum Carnage (Spiderman, Carnage AND Venom!) is a good story about Carnage however I say that my favourite Marvel is Marvel: Civil War since it shows an important moment in pre-Heroic Age Marvel. I'd also recommend anything Deadpool related because he's a hilarious character. So far my favourite Deadpool story has been Deadpool: Secret Invasion with the Skrulls.

Other DC Stories:

I find the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinity Crisis and Final Crisis sets as being quite interesting with Brightest Day/Blackest Night as another brilliant group of stories.

Persepolis, Nausicaa, Sandman, Hellboy. I don't even like most comics and I like these.
