Pretty much all I know is Batman and Superman and I'm not in the biggest rush to read stories about a prototypical ubermensch or an avenging fascist. Wondering if DC has anything else to offer that's good?

For clarity I don't really like Marvel stories about an uber nationalist soldier in Captain America or a billionaire alcoholic womanizer in Iron Man.

Really enjoyed Watchmen, forgot to add that.

    AFAIK, the really good stuff is part of DC's Vertigo sub-line, like Transmetropolitan and Y: The Last Man.

      Heard good things about both. Reading more about Vertigo and it sounds like the good stuff is all on this imprint line.

        Sandman and its spin-off Lucifer are great. Can't fucking believe they did my boy Carrie like that by turning Lucifer into a fucking police procedural.

        DMZ is good, too. I enjoyed Fables but it's definitely not as good as the other series in Vertigo. The story and setting are there, but the writing isn't Gaiman or Moore.
