What Indie books do you read?
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 7:56 pm
I may order about 40-50 Indie in any given month, but it turns out I read quite a few more (given there are lots of minis, more delays with Indie publishers, not every book comes out monthly, etc.)
When I researched it I had QUITE A FEW more than 40 and figured I'd share it here so that others can talk about their favorite Indie (e.g. NOT Marvel or DC) publishers and titles (Vertigo counts as DC; Crossgen, Icon & Soleil count as Marvel)
NOTE: This list can include books that are pre-ordered but may not have come out yet.
Anyway, I get a BUNCH. Comics-aholics Anonymous, anyone? "Hi, I'm Bob and I read comics....."
