    Default Obscure Comixology Gems?

    With Comixology, I've picked up a ton of books for a dollar or two that I probably never would have even seen in my LCS, from publishers I've never even heard of; some have been pretty enjoyable finds, and I was wondering if anybody else had the same experience. Maybe in this thread you could give a shout out to a random book you found, which you think others might enjoy.

    Here's the one that inspired the idea:

    "Palooka" by Casey Van Heel and Ger Curti, from Person of Merit Comics

    A four-issue miniseries (I think each was 99 cents), this is a cartoony-noir tale about wrestlers and superheroes. A heelish jobber gets superpowers, crimes and mayhem ensue, with some good twists thrown in along the way (SWERVES, bro!). The ending was a bit rushed and unsatisfying, but the first three and a half issues were solid, and the art (though a little rough) maintains a distinctive exaggerated brutality that communicates the action clearly and sets the tone for the story well. There are tons of references to wrestling lingo throughout, and I don't want to spoil anything so I'll leave it there.

    Anyone else got any recommendations?
