Favorite western comic

Looking at the scott pilgrim review got me thinking about
western comics. Which one is your favorite western comic?
OEL manga do not count because those comics are trying to be
japanese.

All of the Slaine stuff tends to blow manga away on art quality.
HTML http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1907519742?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
Anything by Simon Bisley in oil/acrylic is that way
I should read Maus.
Heavy Metal. There was a guy (Richard Corben?) in Heavy Metal
who did everything in oil paints or acrylics. Lets face it Heavy
Metal was (is? are they still around?) the beast of American
comics. Good stories that seemed fresh and content and art that
was incredible . Their art completely destroys manga on the art
front (Simon Bisley, Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri, Richard Corben,
Tanino Liberatore, etc) .
Now stories like Druuna and other are available in their own
stand alone graphic novels so you can find them without
searching for HM issues from before the civil war or however old
they are. Slaine was in HM, I thing Ranxerox was also. So much
talent.
DR and Quinch's guide to life was funny back in the day.
I read Watchmen a few years ago. It was not bad. When it came
out though it would have been mind blowing, totally insane and
new. Now that everyone has ripped it off, it does not seem as
special.
Faust was incredible at the time (NSFW!!!!), but their release
schedule was terrible (25 years between 14 eps... hey, that
sounds Japanese!). Tim Vigil's art was fresh back then. The
comic showed that American comics could have adult content and
real stories (1st ep came out same year as Urotsukidōji ).
I should see if I can buy the eps that came out after I gave up
on them ever getting released.
NOTE: Do not watch or even thing of watching, the terrible film
based of the comic.
Ranxerox (get it uncensored originals, not crappy censored
reprints)

I'm going to be quite honest. I don't read a lot of western
comics. Most of the stuff I do enjoy I end up forgetting because
I found it in some obscure website. I should probably look into
them.
I remember reading some punk rock comics back in high school. I
was reading this one softcore bdsm comic called Sunstone on DA.
But it's heavily rushed and the artists updates one page every
month.

I read mostly Frank millers work. SIN city and Batman seem to be
his most prominent works.
I really enjoy Allan Moore's work but I can never get into
watchmen. There's something about it that throws me off. It may
also be due to the heavy writing but my brain melts whenever I
try to read it.

Ranxerox showed up... Good for edgy teens, story wise. Great art
for its age.

I've long ditched reading western superhero-ish comics (DC &
Marvel for example) as it's often infused with real life
politics , propaganda & events , heavily relying on it to get it
to sell . Those first two mentioned are not of any interest to
me as I aged , unless when it comes to research for the purpose
of understanding before applying it into my work , then it'll
last for as long the project remains up .
Even out of curiosity & decided to read it again , I can't help
but to doubt it's ability to hold itself if all three of the
above were to become obsolete to the readers (i.e : desensitized
& repetitive) & would end up like the long running shounen
mangas like Naruto & Bleach , where it relies on fan-services &
the brand name itself , to name a few .
I do however , but not often , read webcomics like Oglaf & Aeon
Flux (NSFW , do not read it if you're below 18) & 4-komas
(western version) , namely Calvin & Hobbes , Garfield & another
which I forgot it's name . But a good chunk of it had such
distasteful jokes , I would abandon it immediately as I don't
suffer from another cringe spasm . It's like either they're
trying too hard or not even trying at all , considering art-wise
, it's one of a kind & I kind of liked it .

I really like Doctor Strange because it does the opposite of
what a normal super hero comic is.
I don't know how to explain it, but I think it's a different
type of comic. Its not super heroish but it's sort of super
heroish????
Its psychedelic and all over the place.

I'm quite partial to sara pichelli's Ultimate Spider-Man. Miles
is a cool character, and she's my favourite comic artist.

I just saw Gwenpool and it really really ticked me off. I dont
know how something like that can exist.

I wonder how people are reacting to all the changes marvel has
done.
I personally don't read their comics but just by looking at the
news, I can see it raging fans.
