Indie comics tell some of the best stories by the best creative teams in comics, and recent years have truly been a golden age for the genre. Unlike the big two publishers, Marvel and DC, which mainly publish stories about superheroes, indie comics from publishers like Image Comics or BOOM! Studios cross every genre imaginable, from high fantasy to the darkest horror.
Most indie comics are owned by their creators, meaning that the comic book industry’s best creators have a chance to tell the stories they truly want to share, as opposed to being constrained by the limits of a more controlling publisher. The result is unrivaled creativity and some of the most innovative and compelling stories available in comic books today. With this high level of quality, there has never been a better time to check out some new indie comics.

Many Deaths of Laila Starr fucking ruled, Rare Flavours was the same team IIRC and was also just as good. W0rldtr33 also rules. Haven’t read the rest unfortunately.
Thanks for the recommendations - I’m becoming quite the fan of Ram V and was wondering what to try next.
No problem! I’m a fan of his too, he’s a really good writer!
I enjoyed The Department of Truth and have ordered Damn Them All thanks to that listicle.
