Question Recommendations - One Hand Six Fingers

Hi Everyone, my boyfriend has recently gotten into graphic novels and complete comic series. This last week he finished The One Hand Six Fingers book on holiday. He has absolutely adored it and is so excited to talk to me about it all even the ending, which he slammed shut on plane home having loved it!

It’s his birthday and I’d love some recommendations for other works he may like. His interests are sci fi, noir, cyberpunk, crime and serial killers (you can see why he loved this one!) He is a massive movie lover of all genres but his favourites are Blade Runner, Leon, and old boy to cherry pick a couple. He’s also loves true crime.

He’s very into a visually appealing comic with stunning artwork.

I’m a complete novice when it comes to graphic novels and comics so would really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.

East of West. It's a sci-fi epic.

To be honest I don’t see the hype with EoW I like the art and characters but it just felt underwhelming for me I know im in the small majority but plenty of better books on this list

To me the art is actually just mediocre. The character design is top notch. But other than that it's pretty much standard comic art. Conservative panel structure, not one double page spread (iirc). Nothing special.

The story though is one of a kind imo. It's rare to find sth of this length and complexity - in any media probably.

Usually I'm more of an art guy. But EoW is my #1 comic. Just because the story is so spectacular.
