2.  Alias Volume 1 TPB: v. 1 by Brian Michael Bendis

The list author says:
  "This fixes the previous problem with the Punisher - if he's to be taken seriously, then he should be more of a maniac. Less spandex, more fatigues - more guns, less qualms about inflicting punishment."

Batman: Year One (Batman Beyond (DC Comics))

5.  Swamp Thing: Love and Death by Alan Moore

The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes (The Sandman)
6.  The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes (The Sandman) by Neil Gaiman
The list author says:

The Boys: The Name of the Game v. 1
7.  The Boys: The Name of the Game v. 1 by Garth Ennis
The list author says:
  "Answers the question "Who watches the watchmen?". A borderline psychotic bunch of vicious lunatics, that's who, with a fixed end goal, but a morally ambivalent road map of how to get there."

2000 AD Presents Zenith Phase 1 (Zenith)
10.  2000 AD Presents Zenith Phase 1 (Zenith) by Grant Morrison
