What Indie books do you read?

[BobBretall]

I may order about 40-50 Indie in any given month, but it turns out I read quite a few more (given there are lots of minis, more delays with Indie publishers, not every book comes out monthly, etc.)

When I researched it I had QUITE A FEW more than 40 and figured I'd share it here so that others can talk about their favorite Indie (e.g. NOT Marvel or DC) publishers and titles (Vertigo counts as DC; Crossgen, Icon & Soleil count as Marvel)

NOTE: This list can include books that are pre-ordered but may not have come out yet.

Anyway, I get a BUNCH. Comics-aholics Anonymous, anyone? "Hi, I'm Bob and I read comics....."

Indie books for me are:

Chew
Invincible
Atomic Robo

I occasionally pick up random books, but these are the ones I follow regularly.

[Frank Castle]

That list is crazy!!!

I'm a Avatar aholic, love them. Read anything and everything they produce, minus the smut they published when they started.

[BobBretall]

That list is crazy!!!

I like to think that it give me a rich amount of context for when I talk about comics.....

[Webhead]

Here is my Indie list

ATOMIC ROBO: DEADLY ART OF SCIENCE (Red 5)
DYNAMO 5 (IDW)
ELEPHANTMEN (Image)
FEAR AGENT (Image)
INCORRUPTIBLE (Boom!)
IRREDEEMABLE (Boom!)
JOHN BYRNE'S NEXT MEN (IDW)
KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER (Monnstone)
MAGNUS: ROBOT FIGHTER (Dark Horse)
RASL (Cartoon Books)
STAN LEE’S TRAVELER (Boom!)
TIME BOMB (Radical)
TUROK SON OF STONE (Dark Horse)
WALKING DEAD (Image)
WARLORD OF MARS (Dynamite)
WARLORD OF MARS : DEJAH THORIS (Dynamite)

Plus I get every STAR TREK title from IDW

[torchsong]

I try to pick one Indie company (or two) and throw all my business their way. Lately that's been GG Studios and Dynamite Entertainment.

GG Studios has had good writing and great artwork, but the release schedule of a true independent (ie. Am I *EVER* gonna see these books?). What I've read, I've enjoyed.

Dynamite is partially due to these insane DCBS sales they've done (see other thread) but also because they currently own the John Carter of Mars license. And they're really doing Burrough's classic justice.

Titles I get:
Warlord of Mars (and any spin-offs like the upcoming Dejah Thoris) (Dynamite)
One (GG Studios)
Gore (GG Studios)
Green Hornet (Dynamite)
Kato (Dynamite)

Indie Trades I get:
Walking Dead (Image)
Dynamo 5 (Image)
Locke & Key (IDW)
Hack/Slash (Image)
Incorruptible (Boom)
Irredeemable (Boom)

Then there's the Manga:
Excel Saga (Viz)
20th Century Boys (Viz)
Battle Angel Alita (Viz)
Yotsuba@! (Yen Press)
Dorohdoro (Viz)
AfterSchool Charisma (Viz)
He Is My Master (Seven Seas)
Pluto (Viz)
Black Lagoon (Viz)
Future Diary (Tokyopop)
Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service (Dark Horse)
Hayate the Combat Butler (Viz)

9 different publishers and 20 different comic book titles.

I only counted titles that I've read at least once and are continuing to read on regular basis. There's a few more titles like Twilight Guardian (Top Cow) that I've preordered but haven't yet received the first issue. Then there's a few others like Captain Swing (Avatar) that I'd consider "inactive," as in no one knows if and when we'll get the next issue.
