Ok, heres the definitive list of comics you will enjoy
Because im really bored and have heaps of work sitting on my desk I dont want to do, ive also added links for your perusal should you wish to peruse them
Hellspawn: Its probably the best horror comic ive read, LOTS of swearing/nudity and graphic violence, so dont leave it around for kids to read. Quite a disturbing read, I really enjoy it.
Very Clive Barkerish in some parts, theres no Trade Paperbacks yet, but get the latest issue (number 12) as thats the start of a new story arc, so it will give you some idea of the style. Anyway, its highly recommended.

)
Kiss
sycho Circus: I dont know if you have read these, but its probably my favourite comic of all time, theres 29 issues and its really got very little to do with the band at all.
Buy one of the collections to see what its like (but dont get the Destroyer one unless its the only one there, its the only weak story out of all the issues).
Offhand I cant remember what exact numbers my favourite issues are, but most of them are brilliant to magnificent, with loads of little details you will only spot if you are a Kiss fan
Also should be really cheap for back issues as well, probably less than cover price. Its nothing like the old Marvel Kiss comics, more of a gothic/horror comic.

Curse Of The Spawn: Get the Trade Paperbacks of these, its about serial killers, demons and all kinds of creepy stuff, theres about 30 issues, but the first 2 Trade paperbacks are 2 of the best stories ive ever read. TP1 is Demons/Horror, TP2 is about a serial killer that kills serial killers, both books are unrelated to each other story wise.

Spawn The Undead: Ok, yes, I read a lot of Spawn stuff, but its all good, honest
Anyway, this book isnt really about Spawn, its about different people each issue, not really scary per se, but some of the stories are really bizarre (one is about a woman who wont get on an escalator because she is afraid of them) and its an unsettling read, plus it makes you think, which is sometimes good im told
These should be really cheap for back issues as well, probably less than cover price.

If you love Vampires (like me!) the following are great:
Purgatori: About a bisexual vampire who used to be an egyptian goddess, its not as lurid as it sounds, not exactly Neil Gaimen standard writing, but its still quite good, pick up a few of the single issues if you see them and give it a try, I think you will enjoy them.

Magdelena: Blood Divine: This ones really really great, its about the church, demons, vampires and the vatican, it all ties together and has a big twist and unexpected ending, well worth getting, its a trade paperback and its about 25 dollars I think.

Grim and gritty police procedural?
Samn and Twitch: Udaku: One of the greatest comics ever, if they charged a hundred dollars for this it would be worth it still (they charge 50 dollars, but its worth it!). Its very long, but I can promise you that its truly brilliant stuff.

Ok, that should do for now, but all of those are great. Trust me
