The fuck are you talking about, nigga?
Arguably Chaykin's magnum opus, now almost completely forgotten even though it came out in his heyday.
An absolute masterpiece of comics storytelling, and proof positive that Chaykin was without question one of the most talented individuals the medium ever saw before he "retired" in the 90s.
Had a sequel that was every bit as great.

This is one of those cover-art-way-better-than-panel-art comics, isn't it?

Yes, this is an accurate representation of what the series is like. It's FUCKING BATSHIT INSANE.

When are you gonna post that shit, dude?

I'm legit surprised this hasn't gotten reissued by somebody like Dynamite, Dark Horse, IDW, or Image Comics yet.
I think it holds up better than other Chaykin stuff that have gotten reissues like American Flagg! and the original Black Kiss.

Ms. Tree by Max Allan Collins (he went on to write Road to Perdition) and Terry Beatty.
It was never really a huge seller on the level of the biggest superhero comics in the 1980s, but I can't remember another title from back in the day that had the same level of near-unanimous acclaim from critics. It wasn't so much that it was groundbreaking or anything like that, I think—it's just that it was just consistently solid crime/detective comic, month in and month out. Sometime in the late 1980s, DC even picked up the publishing rights to the series. This was before Vertigo, though. I think Ms. Tree would have found a larger audience had it been published under the Vertigo banner, but the series had finished by the time of Vertigo's launch.

Around 1994/1995 or thereabouts, Marvel's UK division launched a line of titles called Marvel Frontier, which was ostensibly intended to be Marvel's answer to the strong British creator contingent that DC had in its Vertigo line.
Marvel Frontier was short-lived, though, with most of the titles being canceled before their initial stories were completed. The best of the Marvel Frontier titles was Nick Abadzis and Paul Johnson's "Children of the Voyager," a supernatural horror mystery that thankfully was finished to completion (more or less) as a four-issue miniseries.

The Transmutation of Ike Garuda was a two-issue prestige miniseries published by Marvel in 1991, under its Epic Comics imprint.
An offbeat future noir tale written by Elaine Lee (best known for her work on Starstruck) with brilliant art by James Sherman (Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes). Inventive, and easily one of the best-looking American sci-fi comics published by Epic Comics.

I'll give you that. Utterly phenomenal art.

Steven Grant and Gil Kane's "Edge," published in 1994 by Malibu under its Bravura imprint, right around the time Marvel was in talks to buy Malibu.
It's a 1990s "grim and gritty" superhero comic, but worth seeking out because (a) Grant was a bit ahead of the curve with the subtly critical and satirical tone of the writing (think a less-subversive version of Warren Ellis's Authority); and (b) it's a rare opportunity to see Silver Age superhero comics legend Gil Kane do contemporary creator-owned work.
Originally planned as a series of three four-issue miniseries, "Edge" was canceled after the third issue of the first miniseries. The complete first miniseries (including the never-before-published fourth issue) was eventually collected in a hardcover entitled "The Last Heroes" published by the now-defunct iBooks in 2004.

Yeah, it looked nothing like Sherman had drawn before for DC or Marvel.
Yuppies From Hell, Barbara Slate's satire of 80s yuppies (or at least as the pop culture versions of them).
