There may be other authors writing sci-fi comics, but few with quite as much love (sticky shameful perverted love) for Science . Within the past decade, he's given us:
Planetary - You'd be hard pressed to find another series anywhere more self-referential to the history of comics and sci-fi, spanning everything from Jules Verne, Tarzan, and Doc Savage to giant Tokyo monsters, The Fantastic 4, and the evolution of John Constantine into King Mob.
Global Frequency - Another great mostly-episodic series spanning all manner of sci-fi subjects, from killer cyborgs to memetic viruses.
Desolation Jones - Essentially Jerry Cornelius meets The Prisoner. Slightly less sci-fi than some of the other titles, but 'Y the Last Man' is up there, so I'm including it anyways.
Plus Ocean, Nextwave, New Universal, Doktor Sleepless, Ministry of Space, Ignition City, and probably several more that I'm forgetting.

I posted to much the same, damn shame there's no Ellis on here. But you did forget one important one (given when it ended) Transmetropolitan.
But I'd definitely agree that both Planetary and Global Frequency should have been contenders. Lets hope the Global Freq show turns out to be as good as the GN, because it is the perfect setup for an Outer Limits style show, and I cannot wait for it to get going.

Someone dismissed Batman Year 100, but I liked it.

Does Batman RIP count as Sci Fi?
and Mr. Morrison already has 2 books on the list.
IHMO All Star Superman was probably the best overall cape comic of the decade. Just Amazing.

Pluto, Planetes, Y: The Last Man definately belong up there.
Warren Ellis' run on Thunderbolts, Kirkman's Invcible (Walking Dead is better SciFi material but Invicible mixes things up more,) Matt Fraction's Invincible Iron Man, The Umbrella Academy, Ed Brubaker's Sleeper along with Brubaker and Fraction's run on Immortal Iron Fist just off the top of my head were my favorite reads of the last 10 years.

Why can't they all be that good?

I would like to see a graphic novel about a futuristic world where we all acknowledge we have different tastes and don't waste our time bickering over what other's like (or should like). That would be a neat world.

Maybe they weren't the best comics this decade, but they were definitely the best X-Men comics.

Having Magneto infiltrate the X-Men with a disguise that they cannot physically see through, nor can they psychically pierce: brilliant.
Making him a Kick junkie who triggers a planet-size stroke in Jean's brain to siphon off his excess power: incomprehensible.
When he introduces the idea, it makes you come up with a dozen awesome directions you would like to see it go. Then he drives the entire thing off a cliff.

we3 was fantastic, and huge fan of Y.
Would also include Ex Machina, Top 10, Global Frequency, and The Umbrella Academy.
Also, honorable mention: Resurrection and The Surrogates.
