I second Alan's recommendation of the Paul series by Michel Rabagliati (mentioned above), and we also connected on a very twisted, dark horror, romance, action series,

- Preacher by Garth Ennis. Not for the faint of heart or easily offended!
All three of us recommed checking out the indie publisher Koyama Press and their variety of books and comic: I'm adding Julia Wertz's The Infinite Wait and Other Stories (http://koyamapress.com/projects/the-infinite-wait-and-other-stories/) to my list.
