Among the graphic novels, Meathouse Man seems to be a stand-alone, and so is The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who (if you overlook the on-going nature of Dr. Who in general!) I thought I would really like Agatha H. as I enjoyed the first omnibus, but I just didn't get into it, and I don't think reading the intervening 11 volumes would help. Girl Genius volumes won the first three Hugos for Graphic Story! (Can't believe that Locke and Key didn't win either year that it was nominated!)
I think Saga Volume 2 will be my first place pick, although I really admire the emotional arc that The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who achieved within it's standalone framework.
