Ok so tell me how I'm doing.

After reading all the Walking Dead books -- which I love -- I branched out to see what else would be good.
I stopped reading comics before I turned 10, but now that I'm an adult, I want a good story and hopefully adult themes.

So far I've grabbed:

Invincible -- 2 issues in -- but Kirkman put together such a rich story for TWD, I'm expecting good things

-Neonomicon (heard great things)

-Girls (read issue 1 and got sucked in)

-Whispers (same as above)

-The Boys (got it based on chatter alone)

and now Saga...


I need to know if I am missing something VITAL that I can get lost in like TWD.
I am completely out of the comic book loop, but I want to start getting back into quality books. I would love any other recommendations to get a direction of what I should tap into.

I don't know artists or writers tendencies really, or who is the best line artist vs. who is the best story teller -- or if it's all too subjective to call someone the best. I'm just trying to catch up here.

I heard Crossed is dark and twisted - so I will probably get into that as well, but any feedback is welcome. Thanks.

I've never heard of Girls, but it totally sounds like a Junji Ito story. Is it at all similar?

It's basically an invasion plot.
The invaders = hot girls who want to kill all the women in this small town.

The characterization is great and I enjoy the art.



I'm looking for books that are a little hosed up, with a sci/fi or monster twist.
I want stories that move me.
I think some of these recommendations might change the way I think of comics, since I've been away from this world for so long. But I have a bunch for now, and I'm always looking for more since I'll rip through this books within a couple weeks
