There's a new comic I really want to read, but i can't read it unless it gets funded!
It's called THE GARLIKS by Lea Hernandez and it's on Indiegogo right now!

(Crap. I was really hoping I could embed that)
My favorite comics tend to be ones that mix supernatural fantasy elements with slice of life comedy. This comic had me from the words "vampire that wants to be a comicer". Plus, it's got some really cute art, enjoyable characters, and a few interesting concepts. So if any of those things sound good to you too skip over to its
Indiegogo page and donate. There's a lot of incentives too, like prints and art bags.
On a somewhat related note, sometimes I wonder how many young people- particularly amoungst my followers- read comics besides manga. Sometimes it seems like too many people are completely unaware that there are American comics outside of superheroes. It saddens me because I truly think comics are a great medium that deserves to be both experienced and explored by more people.
So allow me to shove this list of comics I personally recommend in your face:
Anya's Ghost American Born Chinese My Faith in FrankyThe Best of the SpiritCrogan AdventuresScary GodmotherBeasts of BurdenLittle VampireMausThe Eternal Smile: Three Stories Same DifferenceUsagi Yojimbo The Professor's DaughterThe GoonHellboyScott PilgrimBlacksadAnd just for good measure, here's a list of comic publishers that aren't Marvel or DC:
SLG PublishingFirst SecondArchaiaDark HorseOni PressImageDrawn & QuarterlyBOOM! StudiosAnd then there's
Vertigo which is technically a subsidiary of DC. Still recommendable none the less.
If you have anything to say about my selections or about your comic reading habits please feel free to leave a comment. I'd really love to hear your opinion on the matter.
One last thing, I've started a couple of blogs on Tumblr:
