Ogre Gods is really, really, really, really, really good. It will never be finished because the author died. It works both as a modern take on fairy tales, it's a generational story, it's a very deep and very thought out fantasy world, and it's just a good story with characters who are worth spending time with.
CW for Ogre Gods: Very graphic violence including dismemberment, torture and cannibalism. These are on basically every page. Direct comparisons are made between humans and livestock bred for slaughter and humans are subjected to similar conditions and demises. Sexual violence and sexual assault are both portrayed.
His other works I've read were also pretty cool (Except Miss Don't Touch Me. The ending and time really soured me on that one. Also I didn't really vibe Monsieur Désire. It's custom built for the guys who wrote "Mrs Darcy" as their name with little hearts on their diary) are also worth checking out
In Shadow is a pretty generic action fantasy eurocomic, but it's a really good one.
CW: Violence. It also has graphic nudity and sex but all the sex is consensual and kinda sweet iirc. Also parental neglect and abuse fairy tale style.
Beauty is a pretty cool take on a Bande Desinee fairy tale.
CW: Domestic abuse, bullying, and child neglect. Also some violence but it's cartoony iirc.
Peau d'homme also looks really cool but I've yet to actually sit down and read it.
Getting away from that guy:
Mauvais Genre. Okay so yes I like eurocomics about gender, fucking sue me.
CW: A lot of sexism, discussions of sexual violence (I don't remember it being portrayed but it's been a while). Violence and war is discussed but not really portrayed in much detail iirc.
The Old Geezers is a pretty fun comic about old people. There's nothing else to it.
CW: Sometimes the old people have shitty social attitudes.
Blacksad is a noir detective take on Zootopia is the best way I can put it, except no consideration of the fact that these characters are animals is made and it's played totally po-faced despite the ridiculousness of the whole thing. Somehow it sorta works.
CW: Sex, graphic violence, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, drug use, alcohol use. Violence against animals is obviously wide spread.
Something Is Killing The Children is also good. It's an American serialized comic so the plot never fucking gets anywhere and it has a bunch of spinoffs, but what's there is pretty cool. What if Supernatural really leaned into its themes about the cycle of neglect and didn't lose the plot completely after episode 1.
CW: Look at the title. It's graphic. Also torture, child abuse, just don't be a child in this universe. Alcohol abuse, drug abuse.
The Nice House on the Lake is written by the same guy as Something is Killing the Children and since it's not a serialized comic stuff can actually happen. It's sort of a weird surrealist kinda horror kinda not comic about friendships, house vacations, the end of the world and what defines humanity.
CW: Body horror, drug abuse, the end of all human life is discussed repeatedly, you're kinda supposed to be seeing humans burning to death but you don't really.
