I am a little out of the loop of comic books but want to get back in. I have just got the Watchmen graphic novel thanks to the movie hype but what else should i get? Really interested in stuff that is less obvious and would be nice if it is current. I miss this stuff.
If you’re just out-of-the-loop, you probably already know about this one and it is obvious, but: The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman. Really good, and has won some awards, too. It’s my favorite comic book series. Not really super-hero-ish, though.
1st book:
http://www.amazon.com/Sandman-Vol-Preludes-Nocturnes/dp/1563890119/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236642557&sr=8-1
Also seconding V for Vendetta.

I really like archie comics mostly Betty&Veronica if you’re a girl and Archie if you’re a boy.

I’d check out V for Vendetta. Not only is it by Alan Moore, who wrote Watchmen, but it had a movie made about it, just like Watchmen, and Alan Moore pulled his support from it, just like Watchmen!

2000 AD is quite dark…

My favorite comic books are definitely Archie comics, they deal with real life situations and are just awesome

I have a very dark sense of humor, so I’m not sure if you’d like these, but good luck:
Tales of Mere Existence
Persopolis (READ THIS! YOU MUST!)
Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

The two big boys in comics would be Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns.
But for your first I would recommend Batman: Year One.
