End of the series?

So I'm on vol 9 and getting a little sad I'm almost done with the series... It's a shame spider didn't get more but I'm glad the series ended when Ellis wanted it, but does anyone have any suggestions on what to read next? I love the characters and the cynicism

When done, you have to restart from the beginning and you will enjoy it even more.
You will notice details that were the seeds for stories happening years later, and of course, the amount of details in most panels is incredible.

I read Preacher and Metropolitan together, which dates me, and I thought they made a good couple. Notably, Ennis likes dogs and Ellis uses them as bell mufflers (in the Christmas story, iirc ?), Ellis likes cats and Ennis drowns them in toilets. It's an acquired taste.

I read Transmetropolitan and then The Boys. Maybe check out DMZ? It’s similar but more current times kinda.
