I've always liked 'Johnny The Homicidal Maniac' and 'Squee!' from Jhonen Vasquez. If you like dark humor give it a try.
Also 'Tales from the Clerks' a compilation of comics from different artist about Kevin Smith's Clerks/Dogma/Chasing Amy characters.

Batman: Hush is great,

I would also recommend:
Batman: Year One
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

I also just took the first Issue of Sandman out at the Library, and am pretty excited to read it.
