V for Vendetta
5.  V for Vendetta by Alan Moore
The list author says:
  "This exudes an atmosphere similar to Orwell's 1984. Read this one slowly and live the experience. You may not agree with the protagonist's views and actions, but they will make you think."

Lucifer: The Divine Comedy
6.  Lucifer: The Divine Comedy by Peter Gross

The Complete MAUS
7.  The Complete MAUS by Art Spiegelman

The Sandman: Doll's House
9.  The Sandman: Doll's House by Neil Gaiman
The list author says:
  "One of the best series of the 90s. Redefining mythology in its own poetic way. Read the whole series, not just the 1st trade (which is lacking compared to the ones that follow)."

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
10.  The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Alan Moore

Captain Britain
16.  Captain Britain by Alan Moore

The Flash: Rogues (Flash (DC Comics))
18.  The Flash: Rogues (Flash (DC Comics)) by Geoff Johns
The list author says:
  "People seem obsessed with finding 'superheroes with a twist' or viewed from a 'different angle.' Writing good stories about 'standard' superheroics where heroes are heroes has become a lost art"

The Authority : Relentless
19.  The Authority : Relentless by Warren Ellis
The list author says:
  "This book starts where superhero teams such as the JLA/Avengers draw the line. It may be little more than an action fest to some, but it's done well. Play nice or they'll be round to have words."

Batman: Killing Joke
20.  Batman: Killing Joke by Alan Moore
