Recommendations for recent graphic novels?

Hi everybody, I'd like to get your recommendation for some must-read graphic novels or TPB's from the last decade. I used to keep up to date on new releases until about ten years ago but then I started losing touch, and with the ease of getting movies and books digitally and cheaply, I neglected the medium which has always been my first passion.

I'd appreciate any recommendations you have. No straight-genre superheroes please: it's not that I outgrew the genre exactly but I lean more towards works that challenge the theme barrier, but that still focus on good, coherent storytelling (my all time favorite writers are people like Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison and Frank Miller, as well as humanist classics like Eisner and Spiegelman). But I'm always interested in comics that deconstruct or reconstruct the genre (Watchmen, Astro City, Marvels etc.) No manga either, that has never been my cup of tea. Some (relatively) recent things that I did love include Asterio Polyp (Mazzucchelli), Daytripper (Moon & Bá) and the Scott Pilgrim series. I prefer things with closure, so preferably not an ongoing series, but an epic with a beginning and an end like The Sandman or Preacher is always welcome.

Let me have it!
