Velvet - Just perfectly put together for me.
Rat Queens for me. The characters are just the perfect balance of hilarious and bad ass. I love the sort of casual, modern aspects that are blended in with all the fantasy, including the RPG elements. It's actually probably my favorite current ongoing series, period. As a D&D player (and a fan of fantasy in general), I just can't get enough of it. Speaking of which, my only real complaint is that issues keep getting delayed, though I think there are probably some legit reasons for it.
I'm still waiting for a new Wonder Twins ongoing. Let's make it happen, DC!
This is about as tough of a question as can be asked. Several books I love right now for different and their own reasons. If I was forced to drop all but one, Lazarus is the book I'd keep reading. Rucka has developed an exceptional story, characters, and world with an obvious long range plan for it. Lark's art has been top notch perfect as well. The subtleties in his work never fail to amaze me.
I'll have to go with Lazarus. Simply a great book.
It really speaks to Image's strength as a publisher that so many different titles are being listed.
If you are not reading Lazarus, you should be.
Lazarus IS so good!
But my one title is ALEX & ADA!!!!
everyone get it. right now.
Age/Bronze, Age/Reptiles, Alex&Ada, Anne Bonnie, Astro City, Bone, Briggs Land, Cerebus, Criminal, Courtney Crumrin, Eleanor & the Egret, Fables, Fatale, Fell, Grass Kings, Green Valley, Goon, Gotham Midnight, Groo, Hellboy, Hillbilly, Incognegro, Jack Staff, JL8, Jonah Hex, Kane, Lazarus, Little Nemo, Lone Wolf, Next Wave, Popeye, Powers, Princess Ugg, Resident Alien, SiP, Squirrel Girl, Stray Bullets, 10G, Thief of Thieves, Tuki, Uncle Scrooge, Usagi, Velvet
I would have to say Revival is my favorite by far.
Between the combination of Tim Seeley's story and Mike Norton's art, it is a great visual story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Southern Bastards, but that's just today. Other contenders? Prophet, Trees, Supreme: Blue Rose, Zero, Manhattan Projects and East of West are also all brilliant.

You are my favorite thing, Peter. My very favorite thing.
So many possibilities but right now it's probably Sex Criminals. Beautiful art, interesting characters and a perfect mixture of humour, honesty and imagination, but when you factor in the terrific letter column and the fact that a series with this premise has no busy being this good, it's hard not to pick it as my number 1 Image title right now. Like I said though, it's not an easy choice.
Check out my blog, Because Everyone Else Has One, for my regularly updated movie reviews.
This whole thread is just cruel. So i'm giving my top 3(as of today.)
1. East of West
2. Lazarus
3. Saga
