Sorry to you too, "CHIEF."

Kabuki is currently being produced by Marvel

Some other great indie books I haven't seen mentioned:

Brat Pack (this was already mentioned but I gotta back it up!)
Maximortal
Stray Bullets
Louis Riel
Ed The Happy Clown
The Killer
Queen & Country
Atlas
Local

I have a buddy who's doing the art on the upcoming release of Mike Baron's new Badger series.

And, Brat Pack? Very nice! Should of thrown in Maximortal, too!

Strangers in Paradise.

Get the TPBs now before you lose your chance. Two issues until the end of the best independent series ever.

Yeah, but it had six volumes under the Image banner. That's slightly more significant than the six issues he's done under Icon thus far (or is it seven, I can't even remember anymore they come out so sporadically).

Been waiting for it to end so I can get all the Pocket Books of it. Looks stellar. Sadly, as much Indy stuff as I've read, there's still so much more I need to go. Still have to check out SiP, Queen and Country, Grendel, Cerebus, Grell's Jon Sable stuff, American Flagg (still waiting for that goddamned Hardcover to come out... grrr...), Hicksville, Dave McKean's Cages, and stuff like Joe Sacco's real life stories in Palestine and the stuff Joe Kubert did in Yossel and so on.

God, so many comics to buy.

Queen and Country! Forgot that one; good call, T'Chaka.

Also liked Empire.

Cerebus: Start with "Church and State". If you like it, start over from the beginning. Once you hit a phonebook you don't like...stop immediately!

The Elementals: Bill Willingham has finally started getting some respect with his "Fables", but each of his issues (from Comico) is a real treat. He sold the characters but actually did finish the story in "Pantheon", another independent series.

Zot!: Scott McCloud's (or MacLeod) opus. You should try to start at the beginning (the color comics) but it becomes heartbreaking after issue 20 or so.

Tales of the Beanworld: This comic is like all the secrets of storytelling from all of human history. Pure Magic.

Miracleman: A simple story that became un-####-ingly awesome in scope. Truly amazing when Neil Gaiman got to play in Alan Moore's playground. Buckingham is the smartest, purest, best comic artist ever...he's capable of honoring any of the greats as well as doing his own thing. You don't get to see his stuff until the end.

The Cowboy Wally Show: This list needed some humor, and this is probably the best possible suggestion.

For (slightly) more modern stuff:

Murder Me Dead: I'd recommend Stray Bullets, but MMD is a complete story. If you like it, try Stray Bullets.

Planetary: If you have any appreciation for early pulp/radio kitsch, and want to know the secret history of the 20th century...this book is for you.

Promethea: Going into this, you might think that it is Alan Moore's take on Wonder Woman...but you'd be wrong. You might then think that it's his take on Captain Marvel, but you would still be wrong. It turns out he's telling you all of his secrets.

If you want just a fun series by Alan Moore, try Supreme.

Actually, it was a collection of stories from Yummy Fur published in trade paperback format, which is now out of print. It just finished as a serialized reprint from D&Q.

And despite you mentioning Yummy Fur earlier (issues of which are all but unavailable), I just don't feel like giving you any props for the mention.

And one more edit. darius, your avatar is way too creepy for everyone!

...But you'll give me negative rep for it instead...perfect!

You know, and I know, it was well deserved.

For 90 days, it's best you just leave me alone.



oh, and hit me back, I couldn't care less.

You're so awesome! But I neg repped you for correcting something that didn't need to be corrected.

This is Rock810 repping you and warning me and me laughing at you both!

Hope you feel good and petty. Enjoy your timeout.
