    Default What comics are you reading?

    What independent comics are you reading? What's good about them? Looking for recommendations.

    Maybe it would help if you told people what you generally like first?
    I could recommend things, but are your reading interests similar to what an old guy like me tends to read?

    Thats kinda hard to do with independents cause they dont fall under the usual superhero comics. Im looking for something unique and different with a good story.

    Dark Horse: Incognegro, socio-historical b&w about a reporter passing for white, championing (as best he's able) black notables; Resident Alien, who's passing (hmmm...a theme for me?) as a human doctor in a slice of life story; Usagi Yojimbo, b&w historical fantasy concerning a (rabbit) samurai's journey for justice and enlightenment; Abstract Studios: Strangers in Paradise, b&w narrative of three modern women tied to political spies and assassination; Hillbilly, single-issue stories about an Appalachian witch-killer (by The Goon's Eric Powell); Boom: Abbott, another hard-bitten, female reporter; Grass Kings, a family community of survivalists, who may be harboring (perhaps unknowingly) a serial killer--distinctly and beautifully rendered in watercolors; Scout Comics: Smoketown, a corrupt town where the 'good guys' face bad bad odds.
    And of course, anything from those in my signature--

    Hey! I read Abbott and Grass Kings as well. What do you think of Abbott? It kind of feels like Black Cloud, Evolution and Dead Inside put together.

    Well, that narrows it down (NOT!).
    Okay, how about if there's anything (style/genre) you're NOT interested in?

    Would you read old Westerns? Romance comic books? Kid-stuff like Casper the Friendly Ghost? Do you want a lot of zombies or a lot of cheap sex in your comic books?

    Mighty. Morphin. Freaking. Power. Rangers. One of the best comics out there. Go Go Power Rangers is a great sister title.

    Who the hell would read comics that don't feature cheap sex and zombies?

    Are zombies prone to high-class, expensive sex?
