Amph Single volume gaphic novels and manga

I'm looking for some single volume graphic novels and manga books but I'm having problems finding them. I know of Watchmen and I have one called 'Bus Gamer', which is pretty good. Can anyone recommend any more? I'm not really looking for anything in particular, but if I know what to look for I can always check it out.

 

We3 by Grant Morrison - A dog, cat, and rabbit escape from the lab where they were turned into cybernetic killing machines with rudimentary intelligence

Pride of Baghdad by Brian K. Vaughan - Insipired by the true story of a pride of lions that escaped from the Baghdad zoo in 2003 during the war. Think "The Lion King" meets "Black Hawk Down".

 

Ooh, I have actually seen We3 in shops before, and it does look tempting. I didn't know it was just a single volume though. I'll have to get it.

In addition to those listed above, just a smattering of good titles:

Shooting War by Anthony Lappé and Dan Goldman - http://www.amazon.com/dp/0446581305/

Cairo by G. Willow Wilson and M.K. Perker - http://www.amazon.com/dp/1401217346/

Demo by Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan - http://www.amazon.com/dp/1401216218/

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi - http://www.amazon.com/dp/0375714839/

Heaven's War by Micah Harris and Michael Gaydos - http://www.amazon.com/dp/1582403309/

The Umbrella Academy by Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba

The Alcoholic by Jonathan Ames and Dean Haspiel - http://www.amazon.com/dp/1401210562/

The Compleat Moonshadow by J.M. DeMatteis

Some that aren't single volume but aren't that many volumes yet either: Joe Casey's Gødland, Ben Templesmith's Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse

 

How is Umbrella Academy? I read the Free Comic Book Day issue this past year (or was it the year before?) and it seemed interesting.

 

I've heard Maus is good.

 

The Other Side by Aaron and Stewart. Vietnam war story.
V for Vendetta by Moore and Lloyd. Better than the movie of the same name.
Wanted by Millar and Jones. About a man who discovers he can be a super villain. Far better than the movie of the same name.
Desolation Jones: Made in England by Ellis and Williams. Technically, I think that Ellis wanted to do a series, but this is really all that was done (I'm not sure the second arc even finished). A British spy in California, searching for one of the most bizarre McGuffin's ever.
Bone by Smith. Not personally a fan, but it's one of the best stories out there in comic format by most peoples measure.


Superhero done-in-ones I recommend (should be available as one self contained hardcover or trade paperback): Planet Hulk, Green Arrow: Year One, Batman: Year One, The Long Halloween, Superman: Red Son, Marvel 1602, Marvel Zombies.

 

I've got The Umbrella Academy and Watchmen!

I've not read Watchmen through yet, but I read a few pages here and there. I've read The Umbrella Academy through and really liked it. I didn't realise it was written by the lead singer of My Chemical Romance though. There's a second series coming out soon, though I'm not sure if I should get the comics or wait for the TPB.

 

orbiter and ocean both by warren ellis are good sci-fi graphic novels.
