I would agree with The Watchmen. Anything from Star Wars or Marvel works for me too.

Kingdom Come
Dawn: Lucifer's Halo by Joseph Michael Linsner
Battle Angel Alita
(being remade I hear)
Ghost in the Shell by Masamune Shirow
(p. s. The Matrix blatantly rips off this and the movie made from it)
Y the Last Man
(jury is still out on the ending I feel)
100 Bullets
Everything by Jeff Brown: i. e. Unlikely, Clumsy, Bighead
Mai the Psychic Girl illustrated by the great Ryoichi Ikegami

I loved Creature Tech and will have to find the other. I have loved Doug Ten Napel's work on everything esp. Five iron Frenzy covers and Earthworm Jim.

Starman - James Robinson. It's a beautiful and sumptuous story about someone becoming a hero, then giving it up. Starman made me cry on occasion.

100 Bullets - The last volume of this comes out in June. I can't wait to read the whole thing from beginning to end (100 issues/13 collections).
Fables - Great reimagining of fairy tale characters as if they actually existed and are in hiding in the real world. Amazing, imaginative stuff.
Sandman - Neil Gaiman's masterpiece. -

Care for two late additions?
The Walking Dead - a zombie book on the surface, but really about being human in a crazy world. The protagonist is someone who exemplifies many of the principles promoted here at AOM. There's a new omnibus out which costs about $60, but it's worth every penny.
The Goon - probably the opposite of Walking Dead, although it also contiains zombies. It's alternatively and simultaneously violent, funny, sentimental, goofy, and brilliant. Eric Powell's art and writing are both top-notch. -

My favourite graphic novel of all time "From Inside" by John Bergin. Holy crap! I just googled it and they've animated it now

I just finished Bone. It was a nice story very "open and shut". The end was kind of a bummer but I guess I wouldn't have it ended any other way. It looked like a lot of love and thought went into it.

I agree, Michael. It's tough to pack all that into a two hour movie, however.
