In reply to Greg. Let me give it some thought and I'll see if I think of anything that fits.

I would hate to say “I want to read indie comics”, because in saying so, I would sound like s tool who only reads Marvel, but…it’s kind of true.

Here is your assignment, should you choose to accept it:
I don’t like very complicated writing. I feel the art should tell most of the story.
The comics I enjoy most are very personable. Easy-to-relate-to characters in easy-to-relate-to scenarios, from only one character’s perspective.
I enjoy realism in artwork. I’m an ink snob. I can’t stand sketchy inkers. I prefer analogous color schemes. Some mainstream artists I love are Josh Middleton, Ryan Sook, Terry Dodson, and Chris Bachalo.

So…what I’m trying to say is…I have no idea what I want to read.

In reply to Greg.

What sorts of comics are you interested in finding? And as far as “not a major publisher” goes, do you want mostly self-published stuff?

Most of the self-published stuff I find is at small press shoes, but some comic book stores will have local mini comics and such. If you let me know what you’re interested in, I could probably point you to a few things.

I try not to own anything that is sold at Hot Topic, but gradually, my entire childhood will end up on their shelves and self-proclaimed intellectual teenagers with platforms and fake hair will try to tell me that they are wearing a Real Ghostbusters t-shirt because they liked it before it was popular and, incidently, before they were born. *curses*

In any case, I would like to try some comics that don’t have a major publisher attached in hopes of finding inspired art and thoughtful stories.

Any suggestions?
