I came in to say Fables, but it seems you got that already.
So Preacher then.
Hey Please recommend me Comics that I havent read or bought. I'm so not listing all that I've read.
but I already have:
The Sandman series
Elfquest, complete
LoEG, both trades
Hellboy, random trades
Transmetropolitan, complete
Hellblazer, random
Swamp Thing, random
Superman, assorted
Batman, assorted including the Dark Knight Returns
V for Vendetta
The Watchman
Fables, assorted
The Crow
Kingdom Come
and of course, Tank Girl
I'm interested more in well written comics, trade names if you know them. Art is not terribly important to me. Also, any good Deadpool trades? That guy is fucking hilarious.

You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
Warren Ellis' Planetary is fantastic. Gets talky sometimes, but kind of serves as Cliff's Notes for subjects and theories that you've never heard of.
Spider-Man: Reign is very good, Batman: The Killing Joke, too.
Girlfriend is in to Castle Waiting, which is kind of like a less-cartoony Bone.
Word, any printed media that says "Warren Ellis" on it has a high enough chance of being awesome that you can base your comic-buying solely on that criterion for a while. Fell has kicked my ass every issue since its debut.
Warren Ellis also writes a lot of crap. Anything with superheroes for Marvel that's not Nextwave, beware.
I liked his Ironman run not too long ago.
Black Summer #0 by Ellis came out this week. If you can still find a copy, snag it.
I don't recommend much manga, but- Planetes. It's people working and living in space, using tech that looks like something we'll design when we get there. No giant eyes or little-girl fetishes, just good, solid science fiction. Plus it's only 5 volumes long, so it's not a huge commitment.

It's a graphical novel prequel to A Song of Ice and Fire series by GRRM. There is a novella version of the story, but the comic is enjoyed by comic book fans as well as GRRM fans as well.
