Only got into comics in past year or so? Image fanboy through and through but who else puts out content like them?
Titles well worth your time:
Prophet (The largest scope sci-fi epic possible. Examines whether the universal legacy of man will be violence or compassion. Biology as weaponry)
DMZ (Mil-surp, tacticool inspo for miles if that's your thing. Made war and insurgency immediate in the midst of the Iraq War)
Deadly Class (5 stars, easily my top five series. Remender has a way with expressing depression and anxiety in context. Style inspo for days.)
East of West (Mythological, political, sci-fi mayhem. So much fun. Anyone could die.)
Southern Bastards (Football noir. So, so good. Systems of power and influence and their victims.)
Head Lopper (Light hearted fantasy where heads are removed from bodies frequently.)
Low (Aquatic sci-fi. Where does radical optimism get you when the sun started expanding too soon?)
The Black Monday Murders (The occult meets economics. Numbers as the first universal language. I like where it's headed.)
Transmetropolitan (Weaponized journalism and an examination of speaking truth to power, and to your fellow man.)
Preacher (Do you hate religion? Do you hate some aspects of American culture? Take a look at why on a road trip with a vampire and John Wayne.)
Tokyo Ghost (Sci-fi that could use a whole lot less sex and a whole lot more of the beautiful illustrations. Addicts and addiction.)
Scalped (An epic noir spanning two generations of loss and confusion on the rez. A search for identity in the desert. Often beautiful and heartbreaking.)
Anything Ed Brubaker is involved in. Kill or Be Killed is his current series. (Surprise surprise! Let's examine depression, delusions, and morality.)
