It's been a while since I have read any comic books. Been wanting to read one.
I am not an avid comic book reader. I would say capeshit is discouraged but feel free to recommend it if you want. I will leave it at your discretion. Any genre is fine except horror. Need something that has finished the run or at least has a good number of issues out so I can binge.
These are the ones I have read so far to give you an idea. But recommendations do not have to conform this list:
- Transformers: More Than Meets the Eyes is my favourite because of the heartfelt characters and great humour
- The Sandman. It's a classic and I liked it.
- East of West. I thought it was interesting but it didn't quite grab me.
- The 12 issue run of Mister Miracle. I thought what there was of it was good but it wasn't meaty enough IMO.
- Jeff Lemire run of Moon Knight. This was good.
- Saga. I read it until the hiatus. Liked it.
A few off the dome:

Only asking out of curiosity. Do you have a favourite of all time comic book series?
Yes! But it's probably Sandman, which you mentioned in your post
