Outside of DC and Marvel publications, which "independent" publisher to you regularly pick up comics from?

Choose all that apply

[WestPhillyPunisher]

Archie for me. Been a fan for forty years.

[BatmanJones]

I'm almost strictly a DC fan in my adulthood (read Marvel in almost equal measure as a kid) but I'm in love with the Black Hammer universe at Dark Horse. Ahoy Comics has had a really great start too.

[Ascended]

Pretty much all of them, actually. I don't read anything from Valiant these days but I pick up stuff from almost everyone else.

Im reading fewer indies now than I was a couple years ago though. And admittedly, my only "regular" purchase from BOOM! is Morrison's annual Klaus one-shot.

Seriously, if you've never read Klaus......there are no words to tell you how good that comic is.

[Flash Gordon]

All of them, really. Mostly Aftershock, Dark Horse, Ahoy, Image, Titan. Sometimes IDW.

Aftershock puts on The Relay, which is my favorite book currently.

Archie for me.

Me as well. They've been producing collections from some of Archie Comics from the 60s and 70s like Archie And Me, Betty And Me, Reggie And Me, Life With Archie, Archie At Riverdale High, and Betty & Veronica Spectacular. It's been a nice trip down memory lane for me.

I checked all but Valiant (I buy more non big-2 than big 2 books).

As for others that I checked it includes Oni Press, Titan, Humanoids, Fantagraphics, First Second, Source Point Press, Cinebook, and others. I only get 2 Marvel books (Conan & Savage Sword) and 6 DC (4 of which are the Sandman Universe books from Vertigo). I do have Marvel Unlimited and DC universe though, and follow some titles via those. I do pick up a few DC titles in trade and read a handful more from my local library as well, but I am not fond of the monthly periodical format any more (it's a dinosaur format without any appeal to anyone who hasn't been reading comics that way for a long time), and only pick up a handful of monthlies to support certain endeavors, creators, and the guys at my lcs.

Dark Horse is the only one I buy any books from "regularly", and that's just for some of the Hellboy/Mignolaverse titles.
I do occasionally get things from Dynamite, but that's on a very irregular basis.

[SiegePerilous02]

Image for stuff like Hack/Slash, Lazarus, Moonshine, East of West, Black Monday Murders, Black Magick, Old Guard, Revival (ended), Saga, Paper Girls, used to grab Top Cow stuff, etc.

BOOM! mostly for Power Rangers which I fall in and out of, and:

One of the best parts of the holiday season for me.

[DevilBat66]

The last non-Big 2 book I picked up was Walt Simonson's Ragnarok.

Funny thing is, Marvel might as well be a small press company to me as I hardly ever buy anything from them anymore.

[Personamanx]

I don't purchase many comics in general. But from Image I regularly buy/read both Die, and Paper Girls. Every year or so I catch up on whatever Pathfinder series Dynamite has been publishing, and finally I'm always on the look out for Umbrella Academy from Dark Horse.

[BeastieRunner]

IDW ... Ghostbusters, TMNT, Transformers, 30 days of night, X-Files, they got my favorite Red 5 comic and possibly my favorite character of all time Atomic Robo now.

I think my Big 2 purchases have been limited to Vertigo and Icon and imprints the last 20 years.

But IDW after Dark Horse lost Star Wars would be the major one for me the last 5-7 years.

[KOSLOX]

Lion Forge

[AdamFTF]

Viz/Shonen Jump. Even when I've been out of American comics, I still got new digests of Food Wars.

[ed2962]

Image, Dark Horse, occasionally something from Valiant or Boom. I was checking out Lions Forge but my store has cut back. Odd random stuff from wherever...
