Comic and Manga Thread
Some amazing series I really enjoyed reading (I advise you to read only the paper version, they are the best IMO)
Monster:

From Wikipedia: "
The story revolves around Kenzō Tenma, a Japanese surgeon living in Germany whose life enters turmoil after getting himself involved with Johan Liebert, one of his former patients who is revealed to be a dangerous psychopath."
That's the plot and this is amazing. The characters are researched, the story is very well-written, it is really an amazing story, I can't really put it into words.
20th Century Boys & Pluto;

From the same author (Naoki Urasawa).
Pluto is actually on more or less the same level as Monster. The plot is simple as hell (like in all his stories) but the story and the characters are so well written and he does things with your brain that is truly amazing
(i.e read it)
From Wikipedia (coz they say it nicely): "
Pluto follows the European robot detective Gesicht in his attempts to solve the case of a string of robot and human deaths. The case becomes more puzzling when evidence suggests a robot is responsible for the murders, the first one in eight years."
I'm actually reading 20th Century Boys, I haven't finished it, still at the beginning but it seems good as well, thought not as good as the two others IMO. (Sigh, they are all amazingly good anyways, read them!)
Comics :-D
It's an english forum so I won't paste to you all the amazing french comics (Bandes dessinées), so I'm staying with the english one that you can find (which is a shame because there are LOADS of amazing stuff in french <3)
I just finished this one recently (well the volumes that are out, one is still to end the serie), let's say one character really got me into it, otherwise it's not that amazing. Let's say it's something to read when you are a bit bored: Loke & Key

There is one guy in this serie that is manipulating everyone and it is so funny to watch him do it. The plot actually evolves during the serie and it's very coherent.
