Since the only thing you have liked is Remender's LDOAC, and that is pretty much a Vertigo book (atypical for Radical), you may want to stay away from anything they do that someone does not tell you "Gee, that looked very much like it could have been published by Vertigo".
That's exactly what I'm doing. As I said, I think trying four series (the first four) and disliking every one of them is enough for me to take some time away. Seeing as how I buy 120+ books a month, I'm a pretty easy sell, but I also don't sweat it when something isn't working for me.

Just don't make the mistake I did with Vertigo. After a long run of titles from Vertigo that just didn't click with me I pretty much started ignoring the Vertigo solicitations. As a result, I didn't get on board titles like Fables until late in the game.
