Lets have a talk about Comics and Mangas all together, if you are not a fan of either you might want to start reading the suggestions so you can get on board (you really should!), also i am interested in Mangas since i only read comics, and a small bunch of them too.
My favourite Publisher is VERTIGO

Which is an independant Imprint of DC Comics that focuses on the more adult reader than the typical "super hero haz powers saves the world" thing.
They created classics such as
Sandman (obviously my favorite including the spin offs)
Y : The Last Man
Fables
V For Vendetta
Stardust
100 Bullets
where else do you see a comic book series suddenly turned into a Manga just for the lulz ?




And then Amano (The Final Fantasy artist you guys know) joins in and does this


I live for the burn...and the sting of pleasure...
I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun...
- Wasteland - The Mission.
