I've already heard of or read most of those.

I was looking for recs for more recent, more under-the-radar stuff. Any recent indies worth reading?

>>78848535
Out of those, which would you say was the best?

Rachel Rising
Hellblazer
Glitter Kiss (so bad it's good)
Godzilla in Hell

Man, that's hard to answer. They're all mostly different from one another.
Cat & Mouse I recently started reading, about some ninjas that work for the Mafia. They meet this veterinarian dude who got transformed into something resembling a devil. Really interesting, well written characters, great late 80s/early 90s indie B&W art.

There should be mirrors on the archives, if you don't like Tus, or if any link is broken.

I really have to go now, hope you find something which you enjoy.

I don't know how under the radar it is but Southern Bastards is great and clearly where Aaron is putting his efforts.

Sheriff of Babylon is two issues in. It's by Tom King (He's doing the Vision comic and did that great Grayson FE Tie in). It's Vertigo so technically DC.

Godzilla in Hell. Maybe not an indie but fantastic all the same. Every issue is a new creative team and it's all good

Death Vigil is fun. So is Wayward.

Check out the first issue. If you like it keep going because it maintains a similar tone and atmosphere throughout (we're only on issue 4 though). It's really hit-or-miss but I enjoy it alot.

I've read the first few issues but fucked up and didn't read the rest of a storytime while it was up. It was great reading though.

Definitely read it, the trade should be coming out within the next month or two if you can't find the individuals anywhere. Greatest book of 2015 in my opinion.

A whole lot of Ninja Gaiden involves tanking Fiend after Fiend and pushing through different planes. Gave me a similar impression to Big G going through his demons and fighting through the layers of hell.

Half of these are fucking amazing 10/10 must read comics and half are indie garbage. But great taste overall.

>Badger (I don't really consider it to be capeshit)

It's not. It's literally about a dude who wears a costume because he's mentally ill. There really aren't any "cape stories" or characters that fit the "superhero" mold.
>>
>>78849950
Some people are really anal about capeshit and costumed characters.
>>
>>78848674
Not that guy, but Badger is the best fucking thing I've ever read. Cherry Poptart is also must read, though it's porn fyi. Dark Horse's first volume of Conan is also the best indie book of the 21st century and you're missing out if you don't read it.

Reminder that Mister X is STILL the most singularly unique vision in the comics medium over 30 years later. AND it's had probably almost definitely the single greatest revival of any classic series in history.

Any of it. Mainly find/read the Hunter Rose related arcs. "Black, Red, White", "White, Black, Red", etc.

1) Hero Discovered
2) Hero Defined
3) Hero Denied forever never

Matt Wagner fucking loves the 1920's-1930's
