Go manga. Better selection and stories.

If you want to suggest Japanese comics, at least say which Japanese comics you're recommending.

If you are just wanting mangas then look at these: Hunter x Hunter, Berserk, Goblin Slayer, Onepunch-Man, The Rising Of The Shield Hero, Death Note, Overlord, Aoki Hagane No Arpeggio, Full Metal Panic!, Bleach, Attack on Titan

This isn't any specific order but just in order of what I can recall that would be an interest for you looking off of what you listed. I recommend reading through about five chapters if the description for any of them interest you. All of them or long runs and some of them have finished up.

Berserk and Goblin Slayer are pretty great. I also really love Trigun.

Check out some ComicsGate indie stuff. There's some good to great works with the added bonus of driving the mainstream industry insane the more successful they are. Here are a few creator's YouTube pages where they regularly advertise their and other's projects, but there are many more.

Transmetropolitan.

Preacher (Ignore the awful Amazon adaptation).

It doesn't narrow it down very much, but Chris Claremont's run on the X-Men.

I haven't read the recent IDW Transformers comics, but I enjoyed the ones written before the company went full SJW.

I also thought Uber - a bloody series about super soldiers in World War 2 - sounded interesting, but haven't read it for myself.

It’s not exactly stand-alone, but Garth Ennis’ Punisher MAX run is incredible, and it takes place in a very grounded alternate reality without any superheroes so it really does feel like it’s own thing.

The Goon by Eric Powell is also really fun, it’s kind of hard to describe but it’s very funny and has some great art, just don’t follow Powell on Twitter.

I've just been reading the old comics, the masterpiece collections which have all the really old issues like from the 60s to 80s

I want to reiterate some of the other suggestions people made:
Berserk
Goblin Slayer
Trigun
Attack on TItan
Full Metal Panic!
Chris Claremont era X-men
Frank Miller era Batman
Judge Dredd

I also like:
Hellblazer (John Constantine)
The Sandman
Lucifer
300

Berserk is one of my favorites, though I will warn you that it's not finished because the author would rather play idol games than work these days. The first few story arcs are classic though.

Claremont wrote some of the classic X-men arcs, like Dark Phoenix and Days of the Future Past, but a lot of the lesser known stuff he did is good too.

Attack on Titan isn't finished yet, but is expected to be within the next year.

Lucifer is absolutely nothing like the tv show "based" on the comics. If you do read it, I recommend you also read The Sandman chapters that set-up the character.****

I haven't! Thank you for reminding me because I had definitely intended to at some point.

Cerebus is a pretty wild ride once you get past the first volume. It also has the most redpilled, drug fueled, actually crazy, and brilliant writer/artist behind it.

It depends what you are after.

There is the MAGA parody stuff that Tim Lim does which is tongue in cheek and a bit funny but definitely a poltiical book.

Doug Ernst's Soul Finder was a good book that is devoid of politics and has good art.

EvS's stuff has great art, the story isn't my thing but it is standard comicbook stuff, it is very reminiscent of 90's stuff.

Jon Malin's Graveyard Shift has good art and is an action hero book.

Richard Meyer's his Iron Sights 1 book was a great story and great writing, the art is stylised and takes a bit to get used to but matches the story style. The sequel is a little less tight with the narrative and didn't flow as good but was still ok, you can tell the sequel he was going for a Robert Rodriguez El Mariachi feel. The Jawbreakers stuff is a bit more of a standard popcorn affair. The first one (Lost Souls) was ok but he tried to do a "in media res" style and it just made things confusing, the art was top notch. God King was a bit tighter with the narrative but again it still felt like we were missing a few pages of setup.

Downcast is a solid story that leans a bit more YA

Everglade Angels was very much a YA horror story

Black and White from Art Thibert, solid art solid story

The Lonestar books - good art, popcorn fun story.

Vestige - sitting on my to read pile

Most of the CG stuff is apolitical. That was the whole point of CG in the first place was that they wanted partisan politics out. There are the creators like Tim Lim that are typically telling political stories from a conservative viewpoint but majority of them are going for the popcorn action movie type feel of 80's and 90's comics

I would recommend the series Chew about an FDA worker that can see the past of anything he eats and uses his power to solve cases. It's a little wacky but a great read.

Short answer: A war comic.

Long answer: A war comic about Vietnam, written by a Japanese, that uses animal characters as metaphors. Americans are rabbits because of a pun on the word "usagi". USA GI.

Check this out, it's a different settings, and the characters have different roles (they're scouts in the comic), but this just kicks ass all over the place:

I was a huge Sgt Rock fan as a kid.

Oh, and don't expect comedy, and since the writer of the comic is Japanese, you don't get the sort of self-flagellation that American stories like to run with when it comes to that war. If you liked that video, I think you'll enjoy the comic, too.
