The film adaptation by Edgar Wright is also amazing, but a lot of the gags and visual jokes in it are straight from the comic itself, drawing from the freedom with which O'Malley made a universe that felt like it could break any conventional rules it wanted without feeling messy.
The main throughline of Scott and friends learning to accept their flaws and grow with them is carried by the relationships they develop (though it sometimes goes missed cough cough) and as they shift with each volume we get invested in whether or not everything will work out.
#43: Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O'Malley is still a treat to this day, and it's fantastic to see O'Malley grow as a storyteller through the six volumes. The weird whimsy and freedom with which he delivers information and story is a strength throughout and makes for a fun ride.
#42: Blacksad by Juan Díaz Canales and illustrated by Juanjo Guarnido is indescribably good. Every aspect of it from the sharp and focused writing to the wonderfully specific anthropomorphic character designs is top-notch, giving this film noir-style comic grit and personality.
#37: Necropolis by Jake Wyatt is a visual marvel, with writing that evokes something akin to fairy tales merged with prose. The story advances alongside tales of old kings and soul-trading cats, inviting you to discover a world rich with lore and color.

Chiang's art bounces from effectively simple to colorfully weird, in no small part due to the coloring of Matt Wilson. Together the two manage to create pages that serve to carry the story forward, whether it be through action or implied emotional impact that befalls the cast.
#31: Paper Girls by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Cliff Chiang is the second Vaughan series on this list, and his writing is just as strong as in SAGA. His characters have strong personalities and motives, brought to life by Chiang's wonderfully bizarre artwork.
#24: This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki and illustrated by Jillian Tamaki is a graphic novel about friendship, sexuality, loss and more that follows a family trip to a small beach town for summer. The art and story are top of the line, absolutely everyone should give it a read.
Craig's art pops off the page from panel to panel, in no small part thanks to the colorists that have changed throughout the series. The character designs are wonderfully simple yet memorable and his constantly changing panels keeps the series fresh many issues into its life.
#13: Barbarous by Ananth Hirsh and illustrated by Yuko Ota is such a wonderful webcomic in so many ways from the depth the characters have to the powerful visuals Ota brings to the table to complement the story. Please check it out, you won't be sorry.
