Howdy GOGites! I am currently in the process of updating my book and graphic novel collection (my film collection should last me about 15 years). I have read Watchmen, Preacher, V for Vendetta, some of the Y and Sandman series, and currently looking at getting into the Punisher: Civil War series.

I am looking primarily for adult style stories with an emphasis on character development and thematic elements. I love horror, sci-fi, 'grindhouse', and would love some input on what you'd recommend. I read SOME mangas, and if you recommend mangas, can you please give a reason why you do? Thanks in advance guys. :)

From Hell

(I'm more of manga person so maybe I can suggest some of that tomorrow morning since it's getting late.)
