Good post Dusty. I highly recommend Lucifer By Mike Carey IMHO he "destroys" Gaiman Carey's writing is the best I have read in the world of graphic novels (I have read everyone mentioned above) even if you think I am moron please still look into Carey's work it is truly something special, Grant Morrsion's stuff is great as well (did not see his name mentioned). On another note I am reading a book that would be of interest to most HC'ers Amazon.com: Perfecting Sound Forever: An Aural History of Recorded Music (9780571211654): Greg Milner: Books worth reading about the Loudness wars, Leadbelly, Edison and other facets of recording music.
