Like hellboy, preacher, saga, monstress, i hate fairyland, etc.

Still want fantasy, scifi, or supernatural elements to the story, just not superheroes.

    One of my all time favorite comics is Skydoll. Don't be fooled by the Disney looking art. It's a critique on society, sexuality, and media.

    Lol, it's like you have been reading from my bookshelf.

    I'll add

    Elephantmen

    Atomic Robo

    Lazarus

    (OP, Monstress is so good! )

    If you are willing to read some shorter runs - Black Monday Murders is good, and the Night Eaters.

    The Sandman

    Pretty much everything in there is supernatural. There are 75 issues. There are no superheroes. And I think that it's safe to say that it's generally highly-regarded.

    The Unwritten: the bitter son of a famous fantasy writer gets embroiled with a shadowy cabal that has been controlling society for millennia by controlling the fiction we consume

    Only 16 issues, but Power Fantasy is absolutely fantastic. It's a world where a good percentage of the population got superpowers, but these powers are barely significant, to the point where society doesn't change much. The thing is, a handful of people have the destructive capacity of the USA's nuclear arsenal. The story follows the politics and dynamics of these powers and how governments and society interact with them.
