I've been reading and collecting comics since the mid '80s. What really got me into them were Mage: The Hero Discovered and Grendel, both by Matt Wagner and published by Comico. I've never been a huge fan of superhero books, but I enjoy them if the writing and art are exceptional.
Current favorites:
Locke & Key
Rachel Rising
Other graphic novels I would recommend:
Batwoman: Elegy (amazing art)
Black Hole
The work of the Norwegian cartoonist Jason (I Killed Adolf Hitler, etc.)
Phonogram (especially the second volume)
Umbrella Academy
Ultra/Girls/The Sword (all by the Luna Bros.)
Echo
Astonishing X-Men (Whedon/Cassaday)
