I've got a recommendation!

Genre: Dark Fantasy
Title: The Last Wish
Author: Andrzej Sapkowski
Synopsis: Geralt of Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin. His sole purpose is to destroy the monsters that plague the world, but not everything monstrous-looking is evil, and not everything fair is good... and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.
Why do you recommend this book? This has to be, by far, my favorite book series of all time. It revitalised my interest in fantasy with it's tone and atmosphere, which totally throws aside Tolkien-esque High Fantasy and gives you a dark, realistic, and dare I say modern world. No destined heroes or noble kings and evil warlord here. There is racism, there is terrorism, there is pollution, there is corruption, and there are real monsters.

Is this a book, manga, or graphic novel? First of a book series. I'm still waiting for the third in the series to be translated into Enmglish, which should be next spring if it isn't delayed again.
