Graphic Novels?

Hi!

I'm thinking about getting some graphic novels. Which GNs do you guys think one should read? I like stuff that takes place in the real world, but has a twist in some way, be it an alternate history or a near future. Got any tips for a GN newcomer?

Yeah. Fuck deathnote. It was OK, but get's really fucking dumb at the end. Except for Misa. Misa is always OK. Except she's stupid. So. Fucking. Stupid. But hot.
