East of West if crazy strange wild west fantasy plus biblical Apocalypse sounds interesting to you.
Gundam The Origin if a classic war epic science fiction story with robots sounds interesting to you.
New X-Men if a modern and progressive X-men story that's kind of strange sounds interesting to you.
Saga if "whatever the hell I want" imagination trip with snarky humor and dialogue sounds interesting to you.
Fatale if you like the idea of having the female film noir character involved in cthulhu type stuff.
Transmetropolitan if you're cool.
There's also Lazarus which had it's first trade come out recently. Its good so far. It's about a woman who is basically her families' enforcer. Except her family owns like most of the US in this bad future where things have become corporate feudalism. She also is'nt human and there's something up with her connection with her "family". So far it's been well paced and well written. The character's are written realistically and interestingly. In something lesser the main female character would have been written as very cold and calculating to the point of just being unrealistic. She's not a robot, she's a human being and even though someone can be very cold and professional, they would still have some sort of emotions. Lazarus has avoided that with it's main character. She comes off way more well rounded. It's very good so far, you should read it.
And more about Gundam The Origin. Maybe you don't know Gundam, maybe you do and don't like it. I'd still recommend this because I'm reading it now and it surprises me how good it is. It just reads like some classical story that if you had read as a kid it would stay with you. It just hits all the right notes with it's story telling. A good male teen character who anyone can relate to thrust into a war and yet Amuro kind of behaves like I think a teen would. You've got great villains with great dramatic flair, but yet do come off better than "I"m evil". It's just really good and the art is pretty amazing.
I know Gundam is a classic, but even with the old cartoon it felt lame in some places, cold as if someone who can't write wrote it, and just plain bad. Gundam The Origin is the best Gundam thing I've experienced honestly, really makes you see why the original series is a classic. Because it's just got a pretty timeless tale with good characters.
There's also East of West which was so good I read it multiple times while sitting in Starbucks. Now I wont say the story or characters are great, but as far as vol.1 goes they are just ok. Yet thats fine, because I'm not sure this thing needs deep and great characters or even story. It's just so crazy and strange. The world and story are so intriguing and filled with imagination that it doesn't matter.
