Essential Comics/collections

Heyo fellow posters.

I'm compiling a list of "essential" comics. High quality stuff.

It is however, somewhat difficult to keep track of every comic I've read, so please help me out here and add what you would like to have in your essential comics collection. Preferably stuff beyond the obvious collections such as all of the Iron Man comics, Thor, Superman, etc.

Here's the list alphabetically;

100 bullets
American Vampire
Andy Diggle's Rat Catcher
Animal Man
Annihilation (with tie ins + conquest)
Fables
Flex Mentallo
Ghost Rider (new runs)
Harbinger
Hellblazer
Locke and Key
Lovecraft Tales (++)
Loveless
Northlanders
Scalped
Sandman
Sweet Tooth
The Invisibles
The Losers
The Sword
The Unwritten
TMNT (even the terrible stuff)
Uncanny X-Force
Y - The Last Man

Good luck forming a list on such a public forum. You'll be collecting comics for decades. Anyway, here's my two cents...

I'm listing only "seminal" stuff that I know about and enjoyed. Anything that's too character-specific, I either list separately or leave out.

Watchmen
V for Vendetta
Secret Wars
Infinity Gauntlet
Crisis on Infinite Earths
Infinity Crisis
Final Crisis (though it was kinda crap)
Transmetropolitan
Planetary
Sandman (Gaiman)
Kingdom Come
Earth X / Universe X / Paradise X
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing

Batman Titles - Year One, Long Halloween, Killing Joke, The Dark Knight, Dark Knight Returns
Spider-Man - Maximum Carnage
JSA - between original crisis and Flashpoint - a personal plug...it ran for years and really didn't ever lag in quality, which is insanely rare for so long a stretch.

Yeah, dunno how I forgot KC.

I'd also add The Ultimates to my list.

KC was pretty good, but if I was stuck on a desert island, it wouldn't be one of my absolute must haves.

Pfft, Space Punisher transcends the boundaries of "essential." Grouping it with the likes of All-Star Superman or Lucifer would be an insult to it.
