10 . ) Ruins ( Marvel , 1995 )
Quite possibly the most depressing What If this side ofWhat If The Avengers Became The Pawns of Korvac , this two - progeny miniseries contingent what happens to the Marvel Universe had absolutely everyone ’s powers malfunction . The book is a parody of Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross ’ Marvels and besmirches the Silver Age of comics with farinaceous matte of mod comics . For example , Bruce Banner becomes a giant neoplasm and Wolverine is dying of adamantium poisioning .
9 . ) Ocean ( Wildstorm , 2004 )
In this miniseries , a group of pre - human sarcophagus are chance on in the waters of Jupiter ’s moon Europa . unwrap humanity ’s ancestors is n’t exactly a happy reunion — the villainous Doors corporation wants to appropriate the ancients ’ technology … and manhood ’s alien congeneric may not appreciate the rude awakening . The possibility of a film version ’s been bandied around since 2007 , but we have n’t heard much lately .
8 . ) Freakangels ( Avatar 2008 )
In a flood futuristic London , a group of telepathic teenagers adjudicate to cut up out their own flimsy slice of civilisation out of the downfall . The series has a steampunky flair and contains gorgeous scene of a waterlogged Whitechapel illustrated by Paul Duffield , and lo!The series is entirely spare online .
7 . ) WildC.A.T.s / Aliens ( Wildstorm / Dark Horse , 1998 )
6 . ) Lazarus Churchyard
Lazarus Churchyard pinballed around several publication ( including 2000 AD ) in the former 1990s . The titular character is a 400 - year - previous junkie pin down in an immortal , hyper - adaptable , ego - regenerating plastic body . He ’s grown aweary of his deadly volute and — despite his unbelievable ability — really , really wants to snuff it . Churchyard ’s quest for demise is very much a harbinger to the drug - fueled trick of Transmetropolitan ’s Spider Jerusalem .
5 . ) Supergod ( Avatar , 2009 )
Ellis has published several Holy Scripture for Avatar probe the real - world ramifications of superheroics ( No Hero , Black Summer ) , but Supergod is by far the sexiest . It ’s about a superhuman weapon race that ’s half Street Fighter 2 and half Kaiju Big Battel . Basically , each nation has its own posthuman champion ( like England ’s mycological three - faced Divine Morrigan Lugus , whose mere presence have humans to jack off ferociously ) . In short , imagine if every body politic had an insane , disobliging Dr. Manhattan at its disposal .
4 . ) Orbiter ( Vertigo , 2003 )
I recently covered Orbiterin another piece on standalone graphic novel , but let me ingeminate that it ’s a nostalgic — but not cloying — look at the heyday of quad exploration . Also , there ’s a elephantine alien adenoid that defies the law of gravity . Everyone loves that .

3 . ) Gravel ( Avatar , 1999 )
WIlliam Gravel may be your archetypal Ellis cigarette - chomping heavy - As , but his risky venture are n’t of this aeroplane of existence . He ’s a stoic SAS combat mage who takes on magical mercenary work on the side . Despite Gravel ’s undead and eldritch opposite , the comic ’s possibly the least glamourous personation of a spell - castor in comicdom . Last year , Legendary Picturesannounced that they were formulate a Gravel feature film .
2 . ) Ministry of Space ( Image , 2001 )
In this alternate chronicle yarn , England has melt down the blank space game for decade , and America is play match - up . But how did England received all its space programme funding ? That ’s the disconsolate mystery at the ticker of this Christian Bible , and Chris Weston ’s pencils make this Dan Dare - pep up tale really start .
1 . ) Global Frequency ( Wildstorm , 2002 )
What if there was a secret agency that thwarted manmade black holes and cyborg … and agent had no mind who their colleague were or when they ’d be called upon to deliver the world ? That ’s the amour propre of Global Frequency , a 12 - issue miniseries that was accommodate for a telly pilot in 2005 , garnered critical acclaim when it leaked onto inundation sites , andwas shot downby the internet station - outflow . A new television serial was herald last yr , but we have n’t heard much since . Which is too spoiled , since we really we desire to see offspring # 6 ’s parkour Salmon P. Chase through London on film .
