Basically, this is the thread for the all of the sequential art stuff not covered under the purview of web comics or manga and outside of the usual Marvel/DC fare. Anything else goes here.
To start, this is the most eccentric comic promotion that I have yet seen:

So, not an indie comic by any means, but this is my thread and it fits nowhere else: Neil Gaiman's version of The Sandman is an exceptional comic with a fine visual aesthetic and excellent storytelling and the goth fangirls should not scare you away from it. At all. I would like to thank TNS most copiously for, uhhhh, hooking me up with it. You are a gentleman and a scholar, sir.
On that subject: I have heard that certain people consider Wanda in "A Game of You" to somehow be an insulting depiction of a trans* person, and frankly... I am a bit baffled. It's an extremely sensitive portrait of an interesting person who has been kind of screwed over by life and other people and yet has managed to find a circle of friends that, while not always completely understanding, nevertheless accept her for who she is. That she is female is affirmed by the narrative at every turn, and while I guess you could read the moon-summoning sequence as being transphobic, but when you're talking about magic directly tied to menstrual cycles... it's a different ballgame. And George is a dick.
So yeah. That prolly makes no sense unless you've read that far, but to hell with it.

Anywho, Sandman is the best.
