6. The Walking Dead
The pinnacle of Zombie comics, Robert Kirkman's magnum opus shows in a realistic way what would befall upon the world if a zombie outbreak occured. This series is more about the survivors than straight-up gore, and has unpredicatible twists and turns. One things for sure: don't get too attached to any character. They WILL die, just to let you know.5. Hellboy/BPRD
This list would be incomplete without this one. Hellboy and it's spin-off series BPRD supplies the scares and thrills every month, and never lets up. And with two successful movies under it's belt, Hellboy is more popular than ever. BPRD is my favorite of the two, i enjoy the team dynamic.4. Swamp Thing
Taking comics into a literary level, Alan Moore's first comic was a sign of good things to come. Not neccisarily the scariest comic, but there's enough terrifying atmosphere here (and deep, emotional thinking) to supply anyone's taste.3. Hack/Slash
What Tim Seeley has done with this series is completely unique: He took the slasher genre, stripped it to it's core, and evolved it to new heights of awesomeness. Cassie Hack and Vlad are slasher-hunters, saving us regular joes from the nightmarish teen camp killers. Great, fun, sexy, gorey, hilarious, highly entertaining series.2. Army of Darkness
Just like the original Evil Dead series it is based off of, this series has absolutely no limits. Whether our chainsaw-handed hero is fighting the Marvel Zombies, Herbert West: Reanimator, Darkman, Dracula, or even Xena: Warrior Princess (yes, you read that last one right) Ash always comes out on top, only to be thrown into an even crazier situation. Highly recommended.1. Hellblazer
with over 250 issues to it's name, John Constantine's series is both the longest running horror series and the most successful. THe series is able to go to dark depths that no one sees coming, and John Constantine will always be there to strike up a cigarrette, give it the finger, and totally kick it's ass.
