So guys. I'm looking to buy some more comic books/graphic novels.

I'm not looking particularly for stuff like Superman, Batman, Spiderman etc or anything. Something different from superhero crap (apart from Watchmen, that's awesome). The first 5 volumes of DMZ are on the way to my house, probably crossing over from America right now. Are there any others that people have read/heard about that they can recommend.

I'm into stuff that's kind of post-apocalypticish, perhaps post-war or post-civil war kind of scenarios. Stuff that is kind of political but against the government. Above all I like good/well written storylines.

Anything like that, recommend away. I'll take a look at everything you guys say, and if it sounds good I'll probably get it.

Grant Morrison's run of the Doom Patrol, its probably my favorite series in a comic besides maybe watchmen.

walking dead was zombie apocalypse stuff.  i only read up to #50 but i liked it, so maybe give that a try??

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm reading the Preacher series at the moment (borrowed from a friend) and it's quite good. I'm liking the sound of the Nikopol Trilogy, so I'll check that out.

Thanks, and if you have any more to recommend, recommend away.
