DC Comics, 2009
This blew me away. This stand-alone tale is a worthy follow-up to the story in which Wonder Woman had to kill Maxwell Lord to save Superman. Wonder Woman never looked so good, or get written so well.

Wonderful storytelling. What happens when the world's only super-powered hero turns out not to be who he appears to be?

Elephantmen: War Toys Vol. 1: No Surrender
by Richard Starkings & Moritat
Horrific vision of the future. But there's something here. If you create soldiers who are not tied down by compassion and just pure killing machines, is there really no chance for any of these killing creatures to feel any emotions at all? Or will they start to feel fear and/or admiration when one human succeeds in eluding them and cutting down their numbers?

by Mike Mignola, Joshua Dysart & Paul Azaceta
I enjoyed both the Hellboy and B.P.R.D. stories, but usually find myself enjoying Hellboy more. This stand-alone story however, got me hooked. I love the art. And I love the character of Varvara, Professor Buttenholm's Soviet counterpart.

Hellboy
Vol. 1-
by Mike Mignola
IMHO, there's something uberly cool about Hellboy. Perhaps it's the epic and mythic quality of the stories, infused with a generous dose of humor. Coupled with the wonderful artwork by Mignola, which evokes a genuine sense of eeriness. Each volume of Hellboy I've read so far has yet to disappoint.

Crisis on Infinite Earths
by Marv Wolfman & George Perez
DC Comics, 2001
The first major crossover in comics history published to celebrate DC's 50th anniversary in 1985-86. I was a child when I first read this series and I was blown away by the epic storytelling and great art. While the story may read slightly dated today, and deaths of fictional characters have become more common (and seemingly no longer permanent), what this series delivered include high stakes and big changes that rocked the boat.
Black Jack
Vol. 1-17
by Osamu Tezuka
Love, love this. The American reprint is still ongoing at this point. The medical dramas, thrills and humor tales of the unlicensed surgeon Black Jack and his recurring cast of friends, aides and nemeses has me hooked!

A beautifully rendered picture book about life and the normal things around us that we take for granted.
