Check you local library, most have graphic novel sections.
I just finished a run of John Constantine: Hellblazer trades, recommended.

Other offbeats to try - Preacher and Transmetropolitian

I got my first comic book at the 7-11 accross from McNicoll in 1979 - been collecting ever since. There was a time when there were no comic shops in the south end, I had to take the C-train downtown and hoof it across the centre street bridge to a shop a couple of blocks on the other side of the river.
