I'd have to go with Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. That manga is just the best comic I've ever read.
I would like to check this out. While the character has changed around and isn't just representative of his creator (though origins do tend to subtly influence things) considering Ditko created The Question in his quest to create an objectivist super hero I would be intrigued to read a run of the character that not only explores philosophy, but one so diametrically opposed to junk Randian philosophy that Ditko chose to buy into.Dennis O'Neil's The Question is perfect because of how imperfect it is, just like the Question himself. It's about both the Question's growth as a character and the author's own experimentation and exploration with Zen philosophy.
RRRAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH! Action! Excitement! Explosions! The Highest Anti-Terrorism Effort, or H.A.T.E. (a subsidiary of the Beyond Corporation) put NextWave together to fight Bizarre Weapons of Mass Destruction. When NextWave discovers that H.A.T.E. and Beyond are terrorist cells themselves, and that the BWMDs were intended to kill them, they are less than pleased. In fact, they are rather angry. So they make things explode. Lots of things. And that's only the beginning! Starring Monica Rambeau (formerly Captain Marvel and Photon), Aaron Stack (Machine Man), Tabitha Smith (X-Force's Meltdown), monster-hunter Elsa Bloodstone, and The Captain! If you like anything, you will love NextWave! BOOM!
Nausicaa valley of the wind is basically miyazaki's magnum opus. I masterpiece of manga. Has probably one of the great female characters of all time and a excellent supporting cast
ctrl + f: "nextwave"
Why, Era? :(
Written by Warren Ellis and by the pencil of Stuart Immonen. Zany writing and dynamic visuals are what makes nextwave a must-read.
It takes a couple of forgotten characters and put them into a new spotlight, facing threats and plots that deconstruct and satirizes the American superhero genre.
It doesn't take itself too seriously, so it has a lot of fun being subversive.
If you haven't read it, please give it a try :D :D :D
Best theme for a comic book too.
Can't wait to hear how Hans Zimmer reinterprets it for the MCU film.
Claiming something to be a form of art isn't a humble gesture.The Vertical imprint of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin is a boilerplate but nevertheless compelling story of youth during wartime. The enormous world it is based in is a grandiose future with lofty ideals and romantically built, but like other war stories of it's ilk it is fully aware, comments on, and paints a harrowing picture of war. It also includes goddamn giant robots.
I'm pretty sure I have echoed this on this forum, and it is one of, if not the only example I can humbly claim that elevates manga and anime to a proper art form. I'm also sure I'm exaggerating it's qualities, but it's still real fuckin' rad.
The greatest sports manga ever. Nothing I have read has beaten it in terms of story and art. And everything is at least in the realms of realism compared to Kuroko. Next best would be Hajime no Ippo.Slam Dunk by Takehiko Inoue
One of the few Manga/comics I've ever read where there isn't a dull moment throughout. The ending to this had me in tears and my only regret is that it ended. I read this once a year and it's still hasn't gotten old. To anyone who hasn't read this I suggest you do and get ready to fall in love with Hanamichi Sakuragi aka The Tensai.

I'm just screwing with you don't feel like you have to defend your position. My humor came across poorly.... shit yeah when you say that out loud it sounds dumb. I suppose what I meant to say is that for as much as I'm praising it (and I realize this undermines my post) it is something I would claim to be close to be perfect as per the intent of the OP but I'm not really gonna shout this out from the rooftops, you know?
Gundam: The Origin is the perfect and best sci-fi war story, it takes the idea and overall story/characters of the original anime series and deepens the concept, expands on the characterization, and makes the whole universe feel ten times more realistic and thoroughly thought-out.

Is it worth it if you've seen the anime?
What about Thunderbolt?
