Gold Digger. If I was ever forced to drop all but one title from my pull list, that would be the one I would save.

I don't really have a favorite, but my top three would be:
The Goon
Hellboy
Usagi Yojimbo
I've been wanting to check out Love and Rockets since its always praised(and since its in B&W) and apparently Jaime provided artwork for most of the punk bands from Oxnard, CA(I live not too far from that county). I've read the FCBD sampler from a few years ago, but I pretty much don't know where to begin.
Currently reading:Creepy, Eerie, The Goddamned, The Goon, Haunted Horror, Hellboy, King Conan, Last Gang in Town, Sherrif of Babylon, Stray Bullets, Usagi Yojimbo, Weird Love

Proper trades are supposedly in the works. The best bet for single issues are through Michel Fiffe's site which links to the Etsy store where the books are for sale. He also sends out emails every month when the new book is done. www.michelfiffe.com
I'd have to say Atomic Robo, followed closely by Mind MGMT.
Too many to choose from but I'll try my best to narrow them down ...
Contemporary
Crossed (Avatar)
Satellite Sam (Image)
The Walking Dead (Image)
... and I'm really looking forward to Weird Love (IDW)
All Time
American Splendour
Zap!
Mr Natural
Love and Rockets

Transformers: More Than meets The Eye is terrific
I'm really getting into Deadly Class just now, and East of West is a solid read.
Rover Red Charlie is probably my favourite which surprised me when I really thought about it.
Quite hooked on Caliban already even though it's only been one issue and when Rover Red Charlie finishes guessing this will become my fave running title.
I had been thoroughly enjoying Ursa Minor except my LCS for whatever reason failed to get me the last issue and it turns out no other comic shops in all of Australia ordered a copy so I reluctantly dropped this gem of a book.
I am really really looking forward to Booms Nightbreed comic.
Savage Dragon! It has been at the top of my list for 20 years or so.
Closely followed by Harbinger, Archer & Armstrong (Valiant in general) and The Walking Dead.
Fiffe really needs to get this somewhere digitally. I'm desperate to read it but the compendium editions seem to be sold out everywhere. I'm sure Fanta or similar will pick it up for a trade but the wait is excruciating.
In terms of my choices:
Mainstream indie publishers: From Image my current favourite is probably Velvet - Steve Epting knows how to draw, that's for sure. Dead Body Road is also pushing my buttons. Best of the rest would be the Auteur over at ONI, Tales Designed to Thrizzle from Fanta, Waid's Green Hornet (Dynamite), and the White Suits from DHP.
Outside/small press: Love the 2000ad fanzines put out by future quake press, particularly Dogbreath (Strontium Dog themed). On the 'artier' side of the spectrum I have the first few issues of Lose by Michael DeForge, which are excellent, and I've been enjoying Wuvable Oaf as well. Also anything Tom Scioli does.
Current top 5: She-Hulk, Daredevil, Velvet, Lazarus, Adventures of Superman
Only 1????
I've had the privilege to interview Fiffe for my podcast, and I've spoken to him several times about his decision to be print only. I've told him over and over that he's unnecessarily ostracizing a large reader base and leaving money on the table going print only. But being paper only is part of his artistic expression on the project. I just do not get it.
