Great book by the famous Naoki Urasawa, also Viz Media's edition of the book is AMAZING; $12.99 retail (though you'll find it cheaper online for $8-$10) gets you amazing page quality (basically unable to tear unless you purposely do so), 200+ pages of manga with no ads, and the only release Viz has done so far with a book jacket. I wouldn't mind paying $12.99 for manga if they were all like this!
Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys, Vol. 1: Friends
By Naoki Urasawa

R to L (Japanese Style)
Failed rock musician Kenji's memories of his past come rushing back when one of his childhood friends mysteriously commits suicide. Could this new death be related to the rise of a bizarre new cult that's been implicated in several other murders and disappearances? Determined to dig deeper, Kenji reunites with some of his old buddies in the hope of learning the truth behind it all.
Humanity, having faced extinction at the end of the 20th century, would not have entered the new millennium if it weren't for them. In 1969, during their youth, they created a symbol.
