I've become obsessed lately with comics and graphic novels it started with the Watchmen, and my favs so far are Preacher and the Walking Dead.

Any suggestions on what else to check out? Websites? Resources?

I don't really like super heroes other than X-Men -- I just finished Kingdom Come and I didn't really care for it.

Oh yeah, and Green Lantern's ok in the modern era.

Hellboy. The movies do not do it justice. Just don't get the knock off, non-Mignola ones (Seed of Destruction, Right Hand of Doom and Conqueror Worm).

I'm also a big fan of Masamune Shirow... particularly Ghost in the Shell.

They yellow one is the Bluejackets season ticket holder jersey that my sister gave me.

As for the graphic novels, I could lend you some of the Superman ones, if you'd like to read them. But I've liked the Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" and "Sin City" also the "100 bullets" had some good stories.

Just to clarify, those are the three you need, in that order.
