Excluding "THE BIG TWO" whats your favorite comic right now?

[Trachman]

I'm Just wondering. My top five is:
1. INVINCIBLE
2. Witchblade
3. Loins, Tigers, and Bears
4 .Strange girl
5. Soulfire

[estee]

I'm pretty much a mainstream whore.

But I do collect Usagi Yojimbo, which I can't recomend any higher. Its great.

I also like Hero @ Large by Speakeasy. It was funny and clever.

[Royal Nonesuch]

Conan, Strange Girl, Todd Nauck's Wildguard stuff, and Beowulf.

[Big Red]

1. Invincible
2. Godland
3. Wildguard
4. Lions, Tigers, and Bears

And I just bought the first The Goon TPB but I haven't read it yet.

[Michael C Lorah]

Usagi Yojimbo is definitely an all-time favorite! I love the series, and I can't wait to read Fathers and Son!!

I just read Age of Bronze: Sacrifice recently, and it was as powerful as the first volume.

Finder is a real treat, very well thought out and constructed.

I'm looking forward to the new editions of Concrete, as I've liked what I've read of the series, but haven't read very much so far.

Anything Will Eisner ever did is worth reading. The Plot is nearly at the top of my reading stack right now.

Epileptic was another recent, brilliant read. Extremely high recommedation.

Love & Rockets is, arguably, my all-time favorite series.

Queen & Country should come back from hiatus. It's Rucka's best series.

Scott Pilgrim was a blast. I'll be starting vol. 2 soon.

Just a few......

[CoffinDancer]

1. The Walking Dead
2. Rocketo
3. Amazing Joy Buzzards
4. Shaolin Cowboy
5. Elk's Run

[sloria13]

Hunter-Killer.

[Neuromancer]

Wonder if Planetary, Ex Machina, 100 Bullets, and Powers count? ;-)

Aside from them, I love Invincible, PvP, NYC Mech, Small Gods, Jack Staff, Kane, Ferro City, a lot of other Image minis, Queen and Country, Blue Monday, Usagi Yojimbo, and various Warren Ellis titles. This list is by no means complete. :p

[Prime]

Fell

[buji]

- Walking Dead
- Fell
- Desolation Jones
- Revelations
- Y: The Last Man


*these are not only my favorite "non big 2" books, they're my favorite books period. (& yes, i both like & buy a lot of DC & Marvel superhero titles)

[zilla31]

TWD, Invincible, Godland, Winter Men, Silent Dragon, Conan, The Goon.

[Peagle8]

The top three (in no order) that stick out in my mind are Conan, The Walking Dead, and Invincible.

Strange Girl is ok so far, PvP is always funny, I can't wait for Fallen Angel to start back up again, the first issue of Fell kept my interest, and Fear Agent should be good. Savage Dragon is also good (not great anymore) WHEN IT ACTUALLY COMES OUT.

[The_Adventurer]

This is really easy, since no "Big 2" book appears in my Top 5. and only two appear in my top 10.

1. Jack Staff (Image)
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Mirage)
3. Noble Causes (Image)
4. Invincible (Image)
5. Thieves & Kings (iBox)



For the record, Legion of Superheroes and Fables make my top 10.

[zilla31]

i'm w/ you man - the only consistently good big 2 book for me is Ultimates 2. sad. thank God for DH, Image, and "Other" (incl. DC's sub-properties like Vert and WS) :)

[thefellowship12]

My favourite non DC & Marvel comics

Fell- after two issues, I'm convinced that this will be a great series.

Small Gods- this is painful, I don't wanna see it go, it was such a good series.

Beowulf- This has been consistantly good, shame it doesn't come out on a regular basis.

Godland- cool, goofy fun with good art.

It started out really strong, but the last two issues have taken a nose dive in terms of story, and the new artist is fraking GARBAGE!

I had to cut it. Too bad, it could have been great.

[bcwflash]

Small Gods was great.
A book that doesn't make the top 300 and only comes out every 3-4 months is a title called "LAST MINUTE" by Aces & Eights publishing. Black and White but great art and an interesting story.
Probably can't find it anywhere but try and give it a shot. It can be a quest. It is currently up to issue 6.
try it i think you'll like it and i highly doubt the creator is making money on it yet.

[Defunkt]

- Jack Staff
- Burglar Bill
- Girls

This is mine. I follow it in digests (it reads much better that way imho)

Although sadly, I've heard that it is coming to an end in the next year and a half. I hope there's exactly enough material to warrant a Pocket Digest Vol. 6 so that I can have the whole epic neat and clean on my bookshelf.

The ending of Vol 4 has me screaming to know what happens next, and yet fulfilled and satisfied at the same time. I can't express how much I love this book.

Outside of that, I loved the Serenity comics by Dark Horse. If the movie doesn't make enough to justify a sequel, they should just make a Serenity ongoing *hint*hint*

[perk9600]

Fell
Godland
Freshmen
Hunter Killer

But number 1 is Queen & Country.

[thefellowship12]

I haven't read the latest issue, my shop didn't reserve it for me, I may drop it and wait until Carey comes onto the title.

I heard Rocketo is good though.

[Doc Midnight]

Godland, Hellboy, Doc Frankenstein, Shaolin Cowboy, Noble Causes, Invincible and Jack Staff.

[SD Johnny]

Invincible, Fell, Rex Libris, Elsinore, Hero Squared, Ant

[estee]

Ooops forgot about Red Sonja...damn good book.

[Metron Prime]

Are Planetary and Astro city considered DC books ??
If so I'll have to choose from Godland, Hellboy, Doc Frankenstein, Noble Causes, Invincible, Conan and Savage Dragon...
Head spinning.
Oh, and I forgot the 'Simpsons' series from Bongo !...

[mookie blaylock]

Invincible, Fell, BRPD, Hellboy

[Randy A]

Invincible
Fell
Walking Dead

all 3 tied for #1.

wow, looks like a LOT of people have INVINCIBLE down as their #1's. I'll join them!

1) Invincible

2) The Walking Dead

3) Star Wars titles from DHorse

4) Usagi Yojimbo (I only buy in tpbs!)

[drdash]

hands down it has to be Conan. It's consistently one of the best books every month. I'd also put Red Sonja if it didn't come out every 6 months.:D

ciao
drdash

[Black Terror]

The Goon. Period.

25 Cent issue is due out this Wednesday, pick it up!

[Karloffs Ghost]

1.Rocketo
2.The Atheist
3.Small Gods
4.Fell
5.Sea of Red

It's a depression era gangster who lives in a town overrun by zombies, giant flying communist squid, and the supernatural. Absolutely friggin' hilarious.

The 25 cent issue is a reprint of the first issue of the current ongoing, and also contains a brand new story to boot.

[Andrea]

Powers
Strange Girl
The Imaginaries
Invincible
Red Sonja
Futurama Comics

[render man]

Love and Rockets, hands down my all time favorite comic. Anything by the Hernandez bros. is treasured by me.

Ooo, that sounds like a great premise! Zombies get me every time...

Hope my LCS gets the 25 cent issue, I'll give it a shot.

thanks!

[Neuromancer]

And me, I forgot Girls, Hellboy/B.P.R.D., XIII and Little Star...told you my list wasn't complete! :cool:

[amlah6]

At the moment, my top 5 are...

Fell
Conan
Walking Dead
Stray Bullets
Strangers in Paradise

[The Shadow]

I'm really digging Red Sonja!!!

The art is AMAZING and the story (thus far) kicks ass

[lex luthor]

Rocketo - best comic on the market. Period.

[rtaclark]

Conan
Red Sonja
Invincible
Walking Dead
Y - the Last Man
Witchblade
Hunter Killer
Fell

[HG_studios]

Fell--after two issues--has quickly become my favorite and highly anticipated title on my pull

Invincible is definitely up there too, I'll buy anything that Kirkman does.

Finally, I'm really enjoying Girls. After picking up Ultra in trade form I fell in love with the Luna Brothers method of storytelling, and was glad to hear that this title is ongoing.

[OMAC]

Walking Dead, Girls.

[Michael C Lorah]

Love & Rockets and Usagi Yojimbo.

Not only are they better than just about anything else being published, but they've been setting the standard for 20 years or more. It's ridiculous to think that Beto and Jamie have been telling such great stories with such consistency since I was five years old!!

There are almost no mini-series or graphic novels that can compare to the quality of these two series. The number of ongoing series that have come even slightly close could be counted on two or three fingers.

[bwatson]

Walking Dead
Invincible
Conan
Queen & Country
Rex Mundi
Noble Causes
Any of the Westerns by Moonstone when they come out

Walking Dead, Conan, and Invincible are always at the top of my stack on the weeks they come out, regardless of what the big two put out that week.

[Action Ace]

1. Invincible
2. Age of Bronze

That's everything I get that's not from DC and Marvel

[timdbraun]

Action Philosophers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Self help for ugly losers(#3) was a hoot.
The gap between issues makes it well worth the wait.

[Fazhoul]

Doc Frankenstein. When they can get the damn thing out that is.
http://www.newsarama.com/Burlyman/Steve_Skroce.jpg

[Groovie Mann]

Godland
Next Exit

Most the indy stuff I buy I pick up in trades. Like Walking Dead, Strangers In Paradise, various OGN series.

I've tried a few things mentioned above but most doesn't stick. Most "alternative" comcis I pick up would come from the DC imprints of Vertigo or Wildstorm.
