I know its been suggested numerous times in this thread, but The Watchmen is an excellent book. It is the one of the only books that I have sat down and read through completely in one sitting. It is incredible (and contrary to most fans of the comic's opinions, I think that the movie is perfectly acceptable if you have a severe aversion to comics.)

I haven't read too many other comics, but I do have a suggestion for finding comics if you're new: find one based on something you already like. Buffy/Angel, Dr. Who, Start Trek are all great TV shows that have good-great comics, and if you like any particular comicbook movie, that's a good place to start too. That's what I did with The Watchman, and later various Batman and Catwoman comics.
