I prefer Vaughn's "Ex Machina" and "The Runaways" to "Y the Last Man", but I've actually only read the first volume of "Last Man". Which didn't really do it for me.

I'm surprised that no one in the last thread mentioned a couple of things, particluarly Charles Burns' Black Hole which is, for my money, the best comic I've ever read (and I've read most of the ones people mention as classics)... For good entertainment (in a sort of Graham Greene sense) Brian K. Vaughn's Y the Last Man is fantastic fun, though not finished yet. Also Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, a manga by Miyazaki who directed the movie of the same name as well as spirited away and many others. The books are much better and go far beyond the movie and aren't well known in the states (also a bit hard to get a hold of)... Well if you’re going to get all sad…
