I'll go ahead and add Miracleman.

Hrmmm let's see... Well, I loved Sandman, as well as the bits and pieces I read of Fables, Transmetropolitan, Hellblazer, Swamp Thing and Preacher. (I've no problem with graphic violence. But I prefer ones that have fantasy/magical elements too. Gothic horror elements/settings are also a bonus)

I also would like to read at least one graphic novel that isn't based in a modern America-like world. There was one I thumbed through at the bookstore (I can't recall the name)-- an enormous black and white one, I think-- that was based somewhere in the middle east. It had some mythological theme, I think..? So, something like that would be nice as well.

The Batlord

This?

And I would also add Saga and Y the Last Man. One is a space opera featuring both sci-fi and fantasy elements in their most whimsical yet oddly mature form, but rooted in character and family drama. The other is a post-apocalyptic tale of the last man alive in a world where only women survive. Both are utterly fantastic, especially Saga.

Thank you, good sir! Both of those indeed look fantastic. I can't say no to space operas. (And I don't believe Habibi was the one I had seen before, but that one looks interesting too)

I just ordered Sandman volumes I and II. Better live up to the hype. I'm looking at you Bat.

I agree

I know you wanted more fantasy/magical but 100 bullets is too good to pass up.

I also agree with Batty's recs of Saga and Y the Last Man, I started both but got distracted by other things. I want to go back and finish them up one day.

As far as horror/gothic feel. I believe that you would probably love The October Faction from Steve Niles.

Both of those look great; thanks! (And a magical element isn't a necessity; as long as there's some dreamlike OR horror--southern gothic especially-- aspect I typically like it.)

OK, now I'm going to need recommendations for more frivolous Amazon things. (Carnivorous plants? Roller skates? A giant bag of sour gummy worms..?)

definitely gummy worms

The Batlord

I read part of it a while back but I don't remember much about it other than it being really good.

If you don't like Sandman then the fault lies with you.
