That's who I was going to post. Moebius is incredible. Saddens me to no end that almost none of his comics are available in America.
Because Moebius should go without saying.

The important thing to remember is the #1 purpose of comic book art is to tell a story. So for that reason, not all of the best stuff would even make sense as great art if panels or pages were presented out of context.
You see Asterious Polyp? Even better output IMO.

David Mack's work on kabuki is phenomenal. A thrue blending of art and storytelling though unconventional means
Also I'd need to find more J.H. Williams III batwoman splash pages
And we need some Dave McKeen sandman covers

P. Craig Russell is criminally overlooked and one of the all-time greats imo:
You know I said about the awful halo comics Chettlar? Well look at this by the same artist:
Just goes to show what effort matters. Oh, and it makes me wonder how much the halo comics guy was paid. Cause see effort, she likes money. The money, it makes her feel alive, see.

I haven't seen any of his indie stuff, but wow that's eye catching
Russel is great as are McKean (Cages is better than any work he did for DC), Kent Williams, and Jon Muth,
Hmm. It's good, and the guy's really got something there, I think.
But idk. Not doing it for me. Doesn't really strike me as uniquely talented. Not that you have to be unique to be talented, or that I could do anything remotely as good, but hmm. There's something I like about it despite that though.

You're not even posting the good stuff though
These aren't animations, these are pages from OPM that have been resized and assorted into gif form.
Also Sun-Ken Rock by Boishi has a strong art style that definitely shines during the fights.
There's better ways to make something feel alive. You make me sound so naive...
It really isn't.
Was waiting for Preacher. 
It wouldn't be called by a name if it wasn't one established style. There had to have been a number of characteristics for all manga to share in order to be manga.
I'm not trying to imply that "ALL MANGA IS THE SAME!!1!!" because I know it isn't. But I really don't want it to fill this thread any more than other styles, because it's so common.
Just remember, if you want to post it, it needs to help be good "art" and can't exceed the other kinds of styles. I'm sure lots of manga is fantastic art, which is why I'm not trying to disallow it.

"Manga" is just the Japanese word for "comics". Outside of Japan, it's used as a shorthand for "Japanese comics". That's just it, really. It's not a style.
Similarly, in France, US comics are often called "comics" (the English word, that is). That doesn't tell you what it looks like, just where it's from.

I recently read through the whole Grant Morrison run on Batman and there were a couple amazing artists on there, most notably:
JH Williams III
He had amazing layouts, and was a style chameleon, drawing each character in the comic-style they most reflect.
and, my personal favorite by far, Frazer Irving
So dark and off-kilter, but every panel is a stunning work of art.

The first Hiroaki Samura frame is great.
Just like comics are all called "comics", right? "Manga" is as much a style as "comic" is. But I'll try to post different styles for you.

Jim Lee did some pretty great stuff for Justice League, as far as I'm concerned.

Joshua Middleton's work is good:
That's a page from A Long Halloween, one of the collabs he did with Jeph Loeb before the latter turned into a mediocre writer.
Well, let's use this opportunity to show OP what he's been missing! No need to turn this into something bad.
Really liking those frames by Middleton up there.
Certainly. I'm all up for it.
EDIT: all of the ones thecouncil just posted are awesome.
