The only Sci-Fi I've read is Saga (which I don't love...yet) and Black Science, and Fear Agent. The latter two I recommend.
Science Fiction:
Honorable Mentions:
I haven't read a Fantasy comic since the 80's and that was The Adventurer's. Not even sure if that is being reprinted.
I'd love to expand my library more into these genres.
Mod
Locke and Key by Joe Hill
Beautiful Darkness by Fabian Vehlmann
Fatale by Brubaker
Science Fiction:
Black Science by Rick Remender
Fear Agent by Remender
Descender by Jeff LeMire (HC coming in the future)
Starlight by Millar (there is no HC and I'm not happy about this fact).
Fantasy:
Birthright by Joshua Williamson (HC coming in the future)
The Gunslinger saga by Stephen King
The Colossal Conan
Alternate Future (maybe for a different post):
East of West by Hickman
Lazarus by Greg Rucka
LOW by Remender (HC coming in the future. Would also be post-apocalyptic).
I don't love any of the Horror titles I listed but they are all well written. On the other hand, all the science fiction titles (Plus Birthright and Colossal Conan) are fantastic and I've recommended them to several people.

The idea is to compile a list of books on each subject/topic from the group members and have a central thread that people can use to decide where to begin.
Preferably, the suggestions should be limited to stories that are available in some type of hardcover: Absolute, Omnibus, Deluxe HC, Oversized HC, etc.
Make as many suggestions as you like, but do try to keep it to an "essential/best reads". At some point the mods will count all of the suggestions and make a summarized list.
