Chromatic Canadians ftw! Right now I am reading (and ADORING) Hiromi Goto's Chorus of Mushrooms; I want very much to read her Kappa Child, about which I've also heard great things, but I'm having a hell of a time tracking down a copy.

Fantasy/supernatural: I cannot recommend Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar highly enough. It's categorized as "magical realism", a term I don't exactly like, but might serve okay; I'd say it's more (occasionally) surreal than fantastic, if that makes sense. It's phenomenal stuff, mundane and lusty and achey and melancholy and hilariously funny.
