If you want Very dark and gritty Sci Fi, this place has got it: http://www.heeen.de/blame/index.php Nihei has also done a Wolverine comic called 'Snikt' which is short but good. If you like it, check out his other stuff. Everything is available for download form that site. | ||

Superman: Red Son is the story of what might have happened if Superman had landed in Russia instead of Kansas, total favourite of mine. Garth Ennis' The Boys is pretty good. If you can get your hands on Grant Morrisson's run on New X-men, it's quite long, but it's quality stuff. Neil Gaiman did a series for Marvel called 1602 that I'd highly recommend. Hope some of this is useful to you | ||

It's drawn with more detail than probably any comic book that you've ever read, and the characters don't have huge anime eyes. You won't have to buy it either if you want to read it.... I'm quite sure they sell it in the US now, but you don't have to use money to try it out. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://sheba.oniichannoecchi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/berserk-vol26-chap02-fr-1415-f-cb-c.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://thenullset.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/berserk01.jpg) I also recommend Battle Royale It seems like you've mostly read american superhero comics, so I've got no guarantees on wether you'd like a fantasy/medieval approach or a realistic story like battle royale. Neither of these two are animeish. It should also be noted that both of these are for mature audiences, so they may contain quite a bit of gore etc. | ||

Usagi Yojimbo - a comic (not manga!) about a rabbit samurai. The animal thing is just a convention; it's more of a way of telling the story; which is pretty mature (especially in the later parts). The series has around 23 hardcover albums so far; thus Id recommend you trying either 'daisho' or 'seasons' to see if the style fits you. The first tomes have a bit different drawing style - as the author has developed it during all the years; and a bit 'simplier'. Although, if you like the recommended tomes you should read from the start. The album called 'grasscutter' (dont remember the exact name) is the best of the series, but Id recommend reading the previous ones first; as they contain nice info. Usagi is a travelling samurai who is a lawful character who tends to help everyone. This usually means lots of trouble. In the later tomes the author gives information about medieval Japan. V for Vendetta - 2 album comic about UK seen in a 1984 style. The main protagonist frees/kidnaps a young girl in order to train her a terrorist/freedom fighter. This comic book is just marvelous; there was a film that killed a lot of the story. Not that any film adaptation of a comic book was good (maybe spiderman trilogy is the only exception), IMO watchmen are very overrated; boring and simply bad. They might have been good when they came out, but nowadays they are pretty dull. | ||

From your suggestions your opinion of watchmen doesn't seem valid. | ||
