Strange Adventures by King, Gerads, and Shaner. I never thought having multiple artists telling the same story would be so cool or work so well.

Y The Last Man! I had already read some non-superhero comics before but that series really made me appreciate the medium and the stories that could be told through it. The seemingly simple premise hooked me and had me finish the series in like 2 weeks. Still bummed they only made one season of the live action show.

ELFQUEST by Wendy and Richard Pini. It wasn't my first indie comic but it was the one that opened up the medium for me as an art form rather than super-hero adventure delivery system (not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey's Moon Knight was the first time I read a trade that was just a collection of one-and-done issues and I appreciated how important single issues are when they're narratively satisfying and exciting. It's also the first run that showed me that you can redefine lesser popular characters and give them top-tier stories

Batman and Robin Reborn by Morrison and Quitely. I'd always read comics on and off. Through the occasional single issue or trade. Batman and Robin Reborn was the first time i was so into the book that I needed to catch up and next thing you know im reading weekly. And catching up with what i missed. It's also includes some of the coolest art id ever seen and one of the most masterful character works I've seen in comics. I'd hated Damian when id first read Batman and Son. But by the end of Batman and Robin Reborn I was really interested in him and by the end of the series he was my favorite Robin.

Ambush Bug, Nothing Special Writers Keith Giffen Robert Loren Fleming Pencilers Keith Giffen Chris Sprouse Bill Wray First humor comic I think i read (got it in what I would call a "blind bag" where the Hobbyshop would sell I think like 8 comics for 2 dollars but you had no idea what they were, they came in a brown paper bag). Made fun of its, comics in general, DC editorial, it was great. Led me to enjoying comics like Nextwave and Spider-man and the X-men, which, while not as 4th wall breaking are very fun books.

Mr. Miracle by Tom King. Hit at the right time to make a big impact for me, and gave me a different perspective on what a hero book could be about at its core while still being space battles, humor, and costumes.

The Books of Magic by Neil Gaiman/ John Bolton. The art was incredible and the walk through the DC universe was a whole new way of looking at it.

Elf quest is amazing. Was definitely an early gateway on for me as well , especially when Marvel did the reprints.
