Oh. I'll try him out, but I might have to give him a pass. I'm not exactly what you'd call a strong reader, though sometimes I've been known to surprise myself. ;)

If you haven't read it, The Sandman is considered a classic, though it can get a bit dark and a bit weird at times. The Unwritten is also a pretty good read as well. If you're big on Sci-Fi and don't mind comics with a slow, methodical pace, Brandon Graham's The Prophet is absolutely wonderful. The artwork often reminds me of some of Moebius' illustrations while still being able to be new and unique.

Ooh, that last sounds right up my alley. The Amazon page for the first issue definitely looks and sounds intriguing. Is it still ongoing, or is it finished?

I have the first three volumes in trade format and need to get caught up myself, but I do think the series is getting wrapped up this year. I think you'll like it, I honestly can't recommend it enough.
