Deadpool for comics.
Angel Sanctuary for manga.

Angel Sanctuary is the best mind fuck ever.

ummm pretty much ignore every other recommendation in this thread except for Persepolis

I can keep going if you want, I'm just listing things that are "deep" per se and don't require any prior comic book knowledge to get into.

If you are inserted in something more BANG FLASH ZOOM try Ultimate Spiderman

I'll have to say Watchmen.
I've only read maybe 3 graphic novels, though.

Groo the Wanderer by Sergio Aragones. He used to draw for MAD Magazine back in the day. Brings back good memories, man. Funny shit, but bloody as fuck and surprisingly violent --especially the earliest ones made for, I think, PC comics? I don't even remember. Then Marvel bought them and it got slightly less racy, and by 100 issues had lost it's edge. But the early ones are worth checking out.

Unless you're a weeboo. Weeboos probably don't like it.

I like the original Mad Magazine and National Lampoon Magazine.
