I remember some kinda problematic depictions of sex workers and trans folk (mostly in A Game of You), but it's been a while since I've read it. And to be fair to Gaiman, he was clearly trying to be inclusive but ended up missing the mark rather than being intentionally malicious.
Oh yeah the sorceress who can't take the trans woman on a trip on the moon road because she's not a "real woman". I always took it as the character being transphobic, not Gaiman, but it was the 80's/90's, by 2020 standards it's kinda yikes
DMZ. Graphic novel version of it could happen here And Transmetropolitan. But it makes me miss Hunter s.
shame it got so lib towards the end. if i recall correctly
spoiler
spider busts the nixon stand-in by recording his evil confession and airing it publicly. some "freedom of the press is the protector of democracy" trash

Transmetropolitian, even if Warren Ellis is a sex pest. Every election cycle it's required reading.
Matt Faction's Hawkeye run.
Hoo-boy, you were busy with coding the site I think when it hit: https://www.newsweek.com/warren-ellis-allegations-sexual-abuse-1517393

Edit: I just checked his Twitter. He hasn't posted anything since his "apology" tweet image embed one on July 18th. Take from that what you will.
V for Vendetta is probably up there for me, but as far as things published this decade you can't really go wrong with Brian K Vaughan; especially Saga, Y: The Last Man, and Paper Girls.
His Run on Runaways is still probably the peek of that series as well.
Great shouts, but not all of those are in the last decade comrade. We are old.
Whaaat? But YTLM just came out in...2002...
Favorite run is the Planet Hulk run & the ensuing World War Hulk run. Really loved the story telling in that.
damnn only Marvel event series I haven't read since Avengers Disassembled
Hajime no Ippo by George Morikawa 1989-present is my favorite. It's a god-tier fukken story and It's weird to think that it's older than I am and still interesting.
I've also got a ton or nostalgia for the old Archie Sonic comics, but I apparently they nuked literally all of the canon that I feel nostalgic for so who cares about it now.
The last American comic I read was Power Girl 1 - 12 by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti, which was fun. I just looked it up and that was ten years ago, now I feel old.
Hellblazer. Been a while so I can't remember which arcs followed which but the original run is amazing. Anything after that (new 52 etc.) is trash.
I've only read a few but The Incal was really awesome and you can see its influence in a bunch of sci fi stuff that came after it. Sandman sounds amazing, planning on checking that out soon.
picking my all times favs is too hard,
But recently I really enjoyed Chew https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chew_(comics)
Criminal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_(comics)
For ongoing there's Ice Cream Man which is sick and everyone should check out
