This is a forum to discuss lesser known comic series that deserve more recognition. If you say one, also give a reason why.

Uber.

5 years of research culminating in a 30,000+ page "bible" of historical research for the comic has made the writing absolute pristine. It absolutely engaging to read and comes off like you're hearing first witness accounts of the war.

Top that off with some of the best action you will ever see in a comic book and its gg. Uber on a monthly basis has better fights that most comics do in year.

Chew and Queen and Country are all that come to mind at the moment.

@fallschirmjager: Ich stimme, Uber ist so groß, noch so demütig erkannt!

I don't read/speak German unfortunately. I need to learn at some point. :p

yep, while Top Cow's writing has it's share of problems. It's definitively maintained a level of quality few american comics have.

Also this guy, read it now everyone!

A. Jodorowsky & Moebius's "The Incal" and all its tie-ins. Masterpiece.

A real must read for any decent comic book/sci fi fan.

(I also second Crom-Cruach for Witchblade.)

Hourman from DC. One of the last times I can think of DC putting out a comic that was just fun adventure of the sake of fun adventure. No drama or darkness.

@fallschirmjager: It basically translates to 'I agree, Uber is so great , yet gets so low recognition.'

Sounds refreshing. Might have to check that out.

Idk about Uber. The writer, Gillen, seems to have done his homework, though.

IDW's TMNT gets a fair amount if love but it is so good it needs mentioning. It is consistently a book I look forward to every month.

Aside from that I highly recommend Captain Marvel from Marvel or the 90s Spawn stuff.

The original Books of Magic by Neil Gaiman are really good, with awesome art, characters and ideas. The other series I haven't read but hope to soon.
