Reddit reviews The Invisibles

Planetary seems up your alley, although it's a HC it's reasonably priced for 1000 page book: http://www.amazon.com/Planetary-Omnibus-Warren-Ellis/dp/1401242383/

Grant Morrison's Invisibles Omnibus will take awhile for you to get thru... again HC: http://www.amazon.com/The-Invisibles-Various/dp/1401234593/

The Invisibles by Grant Morrison is my all time favorite comic books series. Just read the whole thing beginning to end.

It's now in an Omnibus if you're into that kind of thing.

Just about anything by Grant Morrison will have philosophical currents running through it. Try The Invisibles, The Filth, Doom Patrol, Flex Mentallo, All-Star Superman.

The image I linked is Jack Frost, from The Invisibles.

Ok, here are some great stuff from him (but seriously, read anything you can that's written by him if you like his writing):

All Star Superman - The best Superman story I ever read, it really captures what the character is all about.

Animal Man Omnibus

The Doom Patrol Omnibus

The Invisibles Omnibus

New X-men

If you like strange stuff, the "The Invisibles" omnibus collects Morrison's full run across the books. It is around 100$

Habibi by Craig Thompson (and Blankets, for that matter). A visually stunning story of 2 child slaves attempting to reconnect and survive, set in an approximately modern, unnamed 3rd world country. Very much an exploration of sex and love.

The Invisibles by Grant Morrison. Incredibly strange story of a group of 90's counter-culture anarchists looking to overthrow the literal dark forces that are attempting to control the world. Something of a "What if every conspiracy theory was true?" It sounds right up your alley, as it explores class, race, gender, and sexuality through the group's unique perspective. It has a little bit of a slow roll, but begs to be picked up after around 100 pages. I've linked the omnibus, which is a bit unwieldy, so you may prefer to collect it by volumes.

Black Hole by Charles Burns. A physically deforming STD begins to infect high school students in a suburban town. This book is an uneasy, beautiful reflection of high school cruelty.

Epileptic by David B. A sad autobiography of growing up with an epileptic brother who does not get the medical attention he needs. The book is translated from French and takes place in small town France. David B. pulls no punches, this story is honest and heart-breaking, interesting not only for the stark look at a misunderstood disorder, but for the brutal confrontation with David's childhood.

I'll also second Asterios Polyp and Transmetropolitan.

Do you have money? Because the Daredevil and Punisher omnibus books are iconic, have lasting appeal, and look great on your shelf. The Invisibles omnibus is coming out later this year and I am very excited for it. They may not be in your comfort zone, but they are more-than-complete stories that you can't help but reference as comic icons after reading them.

The Invisibles omnibus is 1536 pages.
