Ok, I admit it.. I haven't been keeping up with comics over the last few years. I used to be into a lot of the indy/underground comics like Peepshow, Palookaville, Dirty Plotte, American Splendor, Usagi Yojimbo, Optic Nerve, Cerebus, etc... the whole superhero thing never did much for me. While I'm not opposed to a good superhero comic, I generally feel that most are generic pap that I just don't want to bother with. Of course there are always exceptions.
Money has been a key factor for me over the last few years.. I just haven't been able to afford to keep checking out new titles without solid recommendations from people I trust. Now that I've finally gotten a full time job with benefits, I'll have a little spare cash and would love to get into some new GOOD comics. Anyone into the indy scene that can point me in the right direction? I've been known to dig a lot of Fantagraphics titles and some good autobiographical stuff. I've been meaning to build up my Crumb collection, and I will.. but there's so much damned work of his that it would take a year of paychecks to collect it all.
Just fishing for ideas...
