Best 'mature' & non superhero collections

Well, if you want an extremely messed up dark post-apocalyptic story, try Garth Ennis' Crossed along with Crossed: Wish You Were Here (free webcomic) by Si Spurrier.

Smoke is fantastic, for anyone who hasn't read it. I know Kordey gets a bad rap from some sectors of comics fandom, but personally, I think the man is brilliant when he's not drawing a twenty page issue in a week to try to save his job and cover another backup penciler who missed a deadline after the original artist also missed.

I don't know if you've read The Secret History by Pecau and Kordey, but the art is utterly fantastic. Excellent series, too.

I've read the first issue of the new Crossed + One Hundred, loved the atmosphere! Isn't the first trade non-Ennis though? Kind of confused on that..

Garth Ennis wrote the very first Crossed volume, and he's returned for multiple stories, but the majority of Crossed stories were written by other peope - but these aren't really worth reading.
