Labyrinth (aliens) I don't read many comics, but I've read enough to know that this was just sick.

For me without a shadow of a doubt is preacher. Especially when they show jesse's backstory and gran'ma ooh i don't even want to think about it anymore.

Definitely Joker and Preacher are up there, but the Punisher one-shot The Cell was brutal.
The Punisher goes to prison................go figure.

I'm gonna say Pride of Baghdad. Absolutely great graphic novel. Don't let the cute lions fool you. That comic is for adults.

Oh, I forgot about that one. I wouldn't say it was really dark, but absolutely amazing.

Pride of Baghdad maybe colorful and may not feature as much gore as the Walking Dead or as many severed penises as Preacher, but it's views on freedom and politics are really dark. Arguably darker than that of V for Vendetta.

Without a doubt, Schizo by Ivan Brunetti

It's an autobiographical comic series that is a constant, never-ending, hateful assault by the author on society, humanity, and himself.

I can't really do it justice so I'm going to link a preview:
