What are your favorite Western comics? I could go on and on, but my top five are Transmetropolitan, Planetary, Watchmen, The Invisibles, and Hellblazer.
Too many Anime threads...

Pretty much anything and everything by Alan Moore or Grant Morrison.
Watchmen
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
From Hell
Tom Strong
Top Ten
Killing Joke
Animal Man
The Invisisbles
Doom Patrol
Arkham asylum
The Filth (a fantastic, hilarious pisstake)
Also 2000AD, and some Frank Miller (in small doses).
I like early Cerebus, before it became nothing else but a vehicle for Dave's increasingly mysognistic worldview.

The Boondocks, Calvin and Hobbes, and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.
Besides way too many web comics, The Sandman series.

I've never been a fan of comics, so I'll just say Garfield.

*is aghast*
Anything by Alan Moore, and occasionally stuf by Frank Miller. Aside from that, Slaine and Judge Dredd are always fun, and I have a certainly fondness for shitty crossovers, the favourite amongst these being "Predator vs. Tarzan 3: At The Earth's Core!" Classy stuff.:p

I always wanted to know what happened to halo jones.
The copyright dispute with marvelman/miricleman turned me off,
