Right up my alley! (As I just got BACK into comics after a decade away and have been buying... Trades!)
Starting with MY personal faves:
Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series
Garth Ennis' "Preacher" series
Jeff Smith's "Bone" series
Brian Michael Bendis' "Jinx" and "Fortune And Glory"
All 28 TPB's of "Lone Wolf And Cub"
Then:
"Watchmen"
"Powers"
"Alias"
"Ultimate Spider-Man"
"Ultimate X-Men"
"The Punisher" (Starting with "Welcome Back, Frank")
"Sin City"
"Astro City"
"Transmetropolitan"
"Barry Ween"
As for comics, I just started reading these NEW titles:
"The Losers"
"Born" (Punisher's Origins)
"The New Mutants"
"Empire"
And EAGERLY awaiting Neil Gaiman's "1602" next month!
I'll give you the same advice my friend gave me in January when I was all like, "So what the hell should I be reading now?"
Bendis, Ellis, Ennis.
You WON'T go wrong.
