Good comics with 24+ issues that aren't superhero related?
Like hellboy, preacher, saga, monstress, i hate fairyland, etc.
Still want fantasy, scifi, or supernatural elements to the story, just not superheroes.

The Sandman
Pretty much everything in there is supernatural. There are 75 issues. There are no superheroes. And I think that it's safe to say that it's generally highly-regarded.
Just don’t read up on the author…
The Goon?
My antiquated 90s list:
Hellblazer/Constantine.
Transmetropolitan.
Stray Bullets.
Yes! Transmetropolitan!
Bone by Jeff Smith. Perfection.
Saga, Fables, Paper Girls, East of West, Sex Criminals
100 bullets
East of west
The Invisibles
Black Science
Criminal
Fear Agent
Sex Criminals
Gonna add a +1 to 100 Bullets. I absolutely loved it. The art work, the story, the characters, it was all just so well done. Definitely one of my favorites
Lol, it's like you have been reading from my bookshelf.
I'll add
Elephantmen
Atomic Robo
Lazarus
(OP, Monstress is so good! )
If you are willing to read some shorter runs - Black Monday Murders is good, and the Night Eaters.
One of my all time favorite comics is Skydoll. Don't be fooled by the Disney looking art. It's a critique on society, sexuality, and media.
Some old ones:
The Invisibles
JTHM
Halo Jones
MythAdventures
The Incal
Grey, (manga)
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run
Usagi Yojimbo
Judge Dredd
Ever run across sweet tooth? Amazing story
Watched the show, been meaning to read the comic
The show is good. Very different in some ways, but good. The comic is amazing though
The Invisibles
Gideon Falls
What about European classics? Valerian, Yoko Tsuno, Spirou etc?
The Unwritten: the bitter son of a famous fantasy writer gets embroiled with a shadowy cabal that has been controlling society for millennia by controlling the fiction we consume
It's only at 11 issues, but The Seasons has been fantastic and is currently ongoing
Ice Cream Man
Only 16 issues, but Power Fantasy is absolutely fantastic. It's a world where a good percentage of the population got superpowers, but these powers are barely significant, to the point where society doesn't change much. The thing is, a handful of people have the destructive capacity of the USA's nuclear arsenal. The story follows the politics and dynamics of these powers and how governments and society interact with them.
