i'd recommend: all jeffrey brown blankets by craig thompson scott pilgrim -- one of my all time favorite books ever. very funny. y the last man you'd probably like the dark knight returns batman year 100 tekkonkinreet / black and white -- some of the only manga i've ever read but it's wonderful tales of woodsmen pete by lilli carré is cute. maus is pretty important i just read exit wounds by rutu modan and it was really good.
adrian tomine asian american comic book artist from berkeley amazing illustrations and clever short stories that inspire short local films all over the bay area.
to echo previous comments jeffrey brown's work is great, especially clumsy and unlikely. adrian tomine is also great
if you want to get into superhero stuff batman year one is an obvious choice, but batgirl year one is very underrated in my opinion. paul chadwick's concrete series is really good. ultra by the luna brothers is good.
anything by dean haspiel is great. dan clowes is awesome (ghost world, eightball, david boring, etc)
my comment is one of encouragement to share this new graphic novel hobby with the ladiez hi my name is rachael nelson and i want to be your LJ friend ;)
