For me, the best manga being released at the moment is the sci-fi horror epic "Biomega" by Tsutmou Nihei. The visuals are grand in scale, painting the picture of a bleak world wrought with destruction caused by individuals infected with a disease (zombie-itis?). There are androids; zombies; monsterous humanoid creatures; a girl getting torn asunder after being run over with a motorcycle, and a bear with a sniper rifle uttering the line "Let the girl go".

 I wasn't a fan of manga before but this brought me into the fold. The black and white visuals actually help to create the mood and amplify the thematic elements the story is putting forth of despair and impending doom. There are some colorized panels before the start of each volume though, some of them make me wish this was done in color but I don't think anything is lost.
