Comics
Lately I've been spending a mad amount of my money on comic books. One of the coolest, which I don't even own is Grendel. Grendel was sort of a mobster/assasin with a pitchfork/spear weapon. The first series of comics was him, and his rival was basically a wolfman (actually the good guy). The second series a woman became grendel, and so forth. Basically a new story would involve new Grendels an they were pretty much all cool.
After I started actually buying comics, the first was Blade of the Immortal.
This is by far the best manga ever to come out of Japan (from what I've read). I've got a lot of Manga now, including; GTO, Ranma1/2, Love Hina, Initial D, FLCL, Iron wok Jan, Samurai deeper Kyo, s-CRY-ed and the full runs of Shonen Jump USA. Blade is a god amongst these other comics, GTO is my second favorite.
American comics you can't forget about either. Batman is fun but not revolutionary. Some of the lesser known stuff is fantastic, Powers and 100 Bullets being the best non-Marvel/DC besides whats been mentioned previously.
Powers is a superhero comic, but its about a former superhero who lost his powers and now is a cop. He works in the superpowers/crimes division, and you sort of see into the world of Superhero's as people, and some of the depraved things they do. There's also a lot of characters who get killed, and the whole thing is good because its written so well. I really like the drawing style too, its slightly similar to Batman the animated series.
100 bullets also works because of great writing. Its realistic, no superpowers. It follows agent Graves, who gives people a gun with 100 untraceable bullets. They can do whatever they want with it, often use it to seek revenge on someone. Its not always clear why he gives people the gun, but sometimes you can see graves' agenda. The writer and artist of this series recently did a run on Batman which was exceptional. The best Batman comics I've read in a long time.
