Storytiming:
Midnight of the Soul #1 (by Howard Chaykin!)
Island #8 (first story and minor art)
Queen of Vampires #1
Bloke's Terrible Tomb of Terror #14 (first few stories)
Injection #10
...and maybe a surprise at the end.
>What is this?
Basically, a break from Big2 stuff and, potentially, an entry point to some series you might enjoy. All comics are fresh from the Win-O' and should encourage you to dip into stuff you might not usually read.
Onwards!

This is just a great first issue by writer/artist Howard Chaykin. Oozing with confidence on every page, with a cool little story. Definitely going to be following this.
Midnight of the Soul 001 (Son of Ultron III-Empire)

This month's Island features some great off-the-wall art, and as usual the art is the main highlight and draw. The story (by Michael DeForge) in this issue is also weird yet straightforward enough to truly enhance the art.
Note: this and the next two pages .....
... should be read and positioned ...
... as a single three-page spread.

Queen of Vampires is .... goddamn. As the cover implies, not safe for work (but not too gratuitous, I think: basically just nipples here and there, and "TV sex": lots of skin and some sex positions, but not genitals). Gory as hell. Surprisingly solid writing that had me gripped.

>is also weird yet straightforward
That's seems to be DeForge's thing
(slightly too NSFW)
(this probably isn't too NSFW, but I'll tread lightly)
(same with this)
But this is definitely over-the-line.
I thought Chaykin was doing some Civil War thing? I think maybe dystopian state vs state stuff, not a historical piece
As is this.
(but this is just a slip) -- Also, last of the objectively NSFW pages.

Apparently he still is. This is just something he's doing with Image before that. Divided States of Hysteria is slated for Winter 2016.

And since this is super indie and I feel a tad bit guilty, here's the CMX link, too:

This is a collection of nifty little short stories (in black and white). Cool stuff overall.

it's just not a Chaykin comic without a gratuitous blowjob, is it

As with most things in this storytime, I can't claim to be actively following it (because I'm a goddamn scrub). But this seems to be the last issue in Injection's current arc.
Nonetheless, I found it gripping as hell, with good art and intelligent lettering choices. Definitely has me interested in reading what came before this and what will come next.

Those are some damn nice covers.

Already storytimed by ooba.
Next time make sure that you searched desustorage for previous storytimes of the series you want to storytime before kicking off what those left off. If not you're an autist.
