Have there been any comics/graphic novels that you've read that have changed the way you think, had a part in molding who you are today, or greatly inspired you?

Comics that shaped me to the reader I am today!

. The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck
This is one of these stories that completely changed the way I was seeing comics. The beautiful art and incredible script in comparison to anything else I had read up to that point rekindled my love for the medium.
. Superman: Birthright
Even though I knew Superman through the countless Tv series,movies and animated films, this is the story that made me a fan and a loyal reader of the Man of Steel.
. Watchmen
I really didn't appreciate this comic when I first read it, due to my age and preferences. BUT the second time I read it I was disgusted with my own stupitidy.
. Y: The Last Man
The first non-superhero comic I read and one of the best. Sad ending though :-P
. Justice League of America
The Tornado's path is the reason that I wanted to learn more about this fantastic universe and not only about Superman and Batman. Also the best roster of heroes I have ever seen.
. E is for Extinction
Gave me a wider view of the X-men franchise.
. Astonishing X-Men
Whedon's run raised my standards when it comes to team books.
. Marvel Knights Spider-Man
Made the web-head a favorite of mine again!
. The Dark Knight Returns
I have a love/hate relationship with this book. On one hand I love the first half with all my heart on the other I hate the way Superman is portrayed and Batman's stuborn and short-sighted personality. Also he quit being batman because a Robin died.....why the hell he repeats that mistake!?
. Asterix
The first comic series I read. I love every one of these stories and characters and they have bonded deeply well to my memories.
. Lucky Luke
Same as Asterix,Lucky Luke is one of the best series that I read.
. All Star Superman
The story that made my love for superman official and an occasional read of mine.

None changed or shaped me as a person. There are a bunch that I have enjoyed but nothing with an impact on my life beyond entertainment.

I also didn't start reading until my mid 20s so I had my personal philosophies and identity established.
