Persepolis. A fantastic autobiographical comic about a young Iranian girl's life in the both in the west and middle-east, and is quite beautiful.
Scott Pilgrim, too. Apart from the shitty final volume. Yeah, explain WHY things are magical in the story. I'm sure that'll go over well. Movie sucked too.
Still, first 5 volumes were fantastic

Irredeemable:
Superman go evil and pretty much kill a SHITload of people and even sunk singapore below the ocean.
Oh no, that just Volume 1, hell he lobotize his sidekick, destroyed his home city and beat up his superhero team. Killed his friends andthen gotten a hair cut.

Hmmmm I'd Say............ Scott pilgrim, kick-ass , and i read a few of these bat-man arkham asylum one shots which i thought were pretty good
Fruits Basket. But I suspect you didn't want a manga for an answer, no matter how much it counts.
In that case...Blackest Night. After false starts with Transmetropolitan and Watchmen, and a general lack of interest in superhero comics, that one has so far managed to be a shining, anomalous exception.
Then again, I'm also a sucker for color coding, so finding out about the other lantern corps (especially the Red Lanterns) drew me in instantly.
And I just love saying "Ruffles the Rage Kitty" over and over.

Jeff Smith's Bone is probably my all-time favorite (hey, look at that avatar...)
I also really enjoyed The Waiting Place by Sean Kelley McKeever and Revolver by Matt Kindt: both must-reads for graphic novel fans.

Specifically the chapter "Beautiful Symmetry" from Watchmen. Its the one about Rorschach and his past.
This is probably the comic that has had the most influence on me. Not only was I blown away by Rorschach's past (not only did his descent into madness make some crazy sort of sense, but it also seemed like the rational decision), Rorschach also became the prime influence of the character that I write.

You really can't argue with something on the Time best novels of all time list.
I'd love to have something less mainstream, but Watchmen.

Though it may not traditionally count as a graphic novel... Planet Hulk. Marvel took a classic monster and made him into a character. A pretty good character at that.
Followed closely by Marvel 1602 (a fun adaptation) and 30 Days of Night (the movie didn't do it justice).
