What is the best superhero book not published by the big two?

[quinnzel]

I really really love Imperial by Image, and Quantum and Woody by Valiant.

[Tony Stark]

To MajorHoy, md62, Professor Moriarty, and Detox. It's awesome to see all the love for Captain Midnight. He has become one of my all time favorite characters.

[Dark-Flux]

Is Joshua Williamson still writing Captain Midnight?

Yes he is.

Well Invincible, Harbinger, and X-O Manowar are the best superhero books period, big 2 or not.

[Winterboy]

Upcoming Ninjak series.

I like Invincible.

[Captain Craig]

I see my top choices got mentioned right out of the gate.

X-O Manowar - VALIANT
Captain Midnight - Dark Horse
TMNT - IDW

Now the Turtles have a very healthy monthly per issue sales, XO is decent but Captain Midnight is the best of that lot that is sadly not even in the top 300 but deserves to be. CapMidnight is a damn good book, strongly written as the other 3 on my list.

I'm really not understanding the overwhelming adoration for Cap Midnight. Don't get me wrong, I friggin love that series, but it's not perfect by any means. The plot was super meandering up until issue 8, and it got a little derailed again at issue 12.

It's good. It's very good. But it pales in comparison to X-O, Harbinger, Archer & Armstrong, or even X.

I don't see how you're not really understanding it. It's a different opinion than yours. That's all you need to understand. It might have meandered to you, but apparently to others it has been consistently great. The same way you think X-O has been great.

It's a shame Captain Midnight isn't selling well. I really look forward to his book every month. I think DH did the right thing though by building it's Super Hero universe around him as he is amazing character.

It's more of a pure Superhero comic than any of those books, which is why people like it. You just don't get that much any more on the Indy circuit.

[Starchild]

I'm torn between X, Invincible and X-O Manowar.

[Big Bad Voodoo Lou]

Michel Fiffe's Copra is a weird, trippy, violent, action-packed comic that's a loving homage to John Ostrander's Suicide Squad. That's the only indie superhero book I'm currently reading, but I love it.

Yeah, Copra is dang great. The first proper trade came out recently too for those are interested.
