Recently, IGN did a series of Top 10 lists highlighting the best titles at DC, Marvel, Vertigo and Indie comics publishers. We greatly enjoyed the list – they did a great job – but we realized we also didn’t entirely agree with their choices as a website. It’s the nature of industry and the medium, as different readers prefer different books. So over the next few weeks we’ll be doing a list of our favorites as a website, as voted by the writers of Multiversity. We’ll be doing it in a the same structure we did our decade lists – #1 finish is worth 10 points, #10 is worth 1 point, and then we aggregate our lists.
For the purposes of this exercise, we’re following IGN’s rules of anything not Marvel, DC or Vertigo being included as indie. Actually, we’re just going to switch it to “Non-Marvel/DC/Vertigo books
So what are the top non-Marvel/DC/Vertigo books of today? Me and fellow MC writer David Harper take a look at some of our favorites, and of course beware some minor spoilers.
Matthew Meylikhov: Alright, welcome back to this week’s Countdown. Our topic this week is for the Top Non-Marvel/DC/Vertigo Comics currently being released. This was harder than last week’s list because there are so many comics, it was really quite tough narrowing down just ten!
Non DC/Marvel/Vertigo Comics and Honorable Mentions
So David, I suppose the best thing to start with is what DIDN’T make the list. When it comes to current ongoings in the independent market, what are some books that you love that didn’t quite make our list here, for whatever reason?
David Harper: Well, I think the two books that first leapt to mind for me were two really, really recent releases – Morning Glories and Scarlet. They both only have one issue in release to date, but I loved both. Especially Scarlet, which I think is what I want out of Bendis and Maleev more than anything. Uninhibited, vibrant, unique, intense, badass, and very indie feeling. It’s the roots that I missed of the two of them.
Besides that, I can say that the picks that I made that didn’t make the list were Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s Locke & Key and Mouse Guard from David Petersen. Both top notch books, especially the former which has hooked me entirely with just one mini and one single issue on top of that. I think if I was fully caught up with Locke & Key it would be way higher on my list. But I’m not…so it isn’t. What were the hardest cuts for you?
MM: There were a lot of things I didn’t include because of our limitations here. I wanted to put stuff like Incognito (which has a new volume coming out) and Umbrella Academy (which will eventually have a new volume) because those books are fantastic. I was even thinking stuff like Zack Whedon’s Terminator book on Dark Horse, which is split into minis but the first was phenomenal. Wasteland by Antony Johnston (current co-writer of Daredevil with Andy Diggle) is great for those who love post-apocalyptic goodness, and the books Sweets, Supergod, and Beasts of Burden, all of which are minis, came to mind.
To be honest, there are a LOT of independent comics that all deserve shots on this list. The world of independent comics is very rich and very uninhibited by some of the things that hold back more mainstream comics. So, as I said to you earlier (before what the viewers of this website will see!), I’m 100% I must have forgotten something that I love due to there just being so many books here to think about.
….and a tiny tiny part of me wanted to mention Spawn just because of my inherent love of the character and McFarlane’s return to the book, but in the end it’s not good enough anymore to justify on my list. Sorry, Spawn.
Continued belowDH: One book that is currently not being produced but would be Top 3 for me for sure would be Criminal. I didn’t mention that, but that is the book Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips were born to create. Not a fan Matt? Doesn’t even get a cursory mention from you? How dare you.
MM: Oh, I love me some Criminal. In fact, most of the time nowadays when people talk about Sin City (famous to my non-comic nerd friends from the movie), I say “Well, have you read Criminal? It’s a better Sin City.” But, sorry to Criminal (and Sleeper to a certain extent) I liked Incognito more! I’m a big Cape guy when we get down to it, and I love different takes on that type of story. I felt like Incognito was just brilliant. That and I didn’t really love volume 5 of Criminal. The first 4 though? Especially number 3… oh man!
#10. The Goon
MM: Alright, let’s move on to our list then! Starting from the top and moving down, we begin with #10: The Goon, by Eric Powell! David, the Goon makes it to our countdown thanks to a strong vote of love from you, so why don’t you start us off with why you love it.
DH: Well, The Goon would have finished higher on my list if it weren’t for the fact we almost never get new issues of this series. I know Eric Powell scripted The Goon movie as well as wrote and illustrated the Buzzard mini and Chimichanga, but we need more Goon!
Why it makes my list? Well, it’s maybe the most bizarre and hilarious series on the market. While it has definitely gotten more serious after the release of Chinatown, it’s still an awesome book that is unlike anything else in there. The ideas that Powell throws out there are more sordid and funny than anything we get from any other book out there, and he’s created some truly incredible characters with The Goon and Frankie and many of the others in the cast.
Plus, his art style after Chinatown has been insanely awesome. He’s seemingly added watercolors to his design work and its escalated the look of the book to an entirely new level. Its one of the most consistently beautiful books out there, as he can make anything from a heartfelt scenario between The Goon and his lost love to a man sized spider playing poker work entirely. The dude can flat out draw, and I just love looking at the stuff he comes up with. Besides maybe Guy Davis, I think Powell is the best at creature design, and The Goon never ceases to impress with that.
I know you’re a fan. Why didn’t it make your list?
MM: It didn’t make my list as any slight to the book. You’re right, I am definitely a fan. The only reason it didn’t make my list is just because I like some things more than the Goon.
However, the Goon is definitely a top for me. I like that you mention the change in tone after Chinatown, because I think that’s very recognizable. I think Powell has been doing a tad bit of throw back writing to his more darkly hilarious side with Chimichanga, and even the Metalocalypse/Goon crossover book. But the very early stuff of the Goon? Oh man, it’s so crazy! Zombies and vampires galore, but all with Powell’s twists to archetypes that make the book so brilliantly funny. I also love the Goon’s origin story, both with what came before Chinatown and then the events of Chinatown. It paints a very interesting caricature of the hero/anti-hero lead. I also love that Powell has managed to create this large and epic universe of his own in a parallel way to another creator owned book we’ll be talking about later, Mignola’s Hellboy. Now we’ve got spin-offs from the Goon with Buzzard and the upcoming Billy The Kid mini. It’s such a great universe that we get to see Powell play around with.
Continued belowHis art is also pitch perfect for the book. Going back to where things began to change with Chinatown, there is a very clear artistic scene which focuses on the Goon’s face in that book that I always remember, when he’s standing in front of the mirror and breaking down? It’s arguably one of the most memorable moments from that story, and really solidifies how Powell was working with the character.
But yes – the Goon is a GREAT comic. Powell is a very darkly funny guy, and one thing you didn’t mention that Powell does superbly is mix in these little noir-esque moments that are great. It’s a mixture of his art and the tonality that gives it, and I’m not just referring to the Goon’s Noir mini. Heck, just the whole element of Chinatown is a great throwback to the classic Jack Nicholson film.
DH: Agreed. So what do we have next on the list Matt?
#9. Casanova
MM: Next on our list, coming in at #9 is Casanova, by Matt Fraction with art by Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon!
This book made my list and not yours, so I’ll go first. Casanova was originally published on Image Comics currently being reprinted and expanded upon over at Marvel’s Icon imprint. This is a book that I think is really fun and funny, and it’s really the reason why anyone should ever pay attention to Matt Fraction. Sure, he’s got great runs on titles like Immortal Iron Fist or Invincible Iron Man, but when you get down to the gritty of what Matt Fraction does best, it’s that weird science fiction that doesn’t quite make sense anywhere else but it’s own context. This is why Casanova works so well.
The book features a mix of sarcastic humor, time travel, parallel universes, and music (of all things!). Fraction throws in a lot here, including parody and satire (seriously, this book cracks me up), that mixes well to create it’s own universe and a completely free playground for Fraction to use. The main hero can barely even be called a hero (because really, he’s kind of a bastard!), and the plot ends up twisting and turning a lot due to all the jumping between universes that the book becomes this really fun head scratcher at times. The first issue alone is a real standout, and thanks to the reprinting it makes it easier for everyone to enjoy this book.
Of course, we HAVE to mention the art here. The art propels the book so much, and Ba and Moon make such a great pair with their respective arcs. Right now the Gabriel Ba stories are being reprinted, and I adore Ba’s artwork. He has such a great tone and really makes the book alive. Moon’s second arc, which will be reprinted soon, also features a great shift to how the book looks, especially with Casanova himself, yet it still works so well hand in hand with Ba. Those two artists are brilliant together, and even Moon’s backups to the current arc (which is brand new) looks awesome.
There’s just honestly so much to love about Casanova, and despite the fact that we’ve read the current issues before, I think the addition of full color adds a wonderful depth too it. I’m a big fan, and I’m greatly looking forward to the new stuff.
How about you, David? Are you fan of Casanova?
DH: Oddly enough considering the fact I love Ba and Moon and mostly like Fraction, I’ve never read Casanova. This one is all you.
MM: You haven’t checked out the reprints at all?
DH: Negative Ghost Rider. I thought about it, looked in them, couldn’t remember if they were reprints or new stuff and decided to not buy them out of indecision. I’m not exactly feeling lost without them though.
MM: Boo to that! I recommend giving it another look!
#8. Stumptown
MM: Well then, we’ll move on to #8 – Stumptown, by Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth. Why don’t you start us off, David.
DH: To me, this book is a simple equation of awesomeness: Greg Rucka + detective story + female protagonist = awesome. He gets bonus points for placing the action in my favorite American city – Portland – and for picking such an incredible artistic partner in the previously unknown Matthew Southworth. While this book is glacially paced in terms of release, Stumptown is my favorite detective book out there, and I think that Dex Parios has to be one of my favorite characters in all of comics already. Greg Rucka is such a genius when it comes to developing characters, and I think Dex is up there with the best he’s ever done.
You’re digging on this book too, aren’t you Matt?
MM: I think you did a great job of summing it up, to be honest. The Greg Rucka equation (detective story + female lead) does in fact equate to awesome, and this book hits the rite notes for me in the same way that Alias did. In fact, I’ve often compared the two books together, although Stumptown doesn’t have supers in it. And Southworth is such a great pick for this. I love his use of colors in the issues. He has a great sense of tone for the book.
The only thing I dislike about the book are the delays between issues! I need my fix!!
DH: Yeah, the delays really bug me. It’s such a great book but I want it faster. I know Southworth is crazy busy though, so it makes it tough for me to be too upset.
What came in at #7?
#7. Powers
MM: What came in at #7 is one of my faaaaaavorite comics that also suffers greatly (and has suffered greatly in the past) from epic delays: Powers, by Brian Bendis and Mike Oeming.
Before I go into a rant on this book, I figure I’ll at least ask – do you read Powers at all? Or have you?
DH: I do read Powers. I have read Powers. I’m just going to say it – I haven’t liked the relaunch on Icon. I haven’t enjoyed this new run at all, and I still haven’t even read the last issue because the ones that have preceded it did next to nothing for me. I’m not going to lie, I don’t even think Powers would have made my Top 20 right now.
MM: But you liked the first two volumes? What did you like about those?
DH: The dialogue, the character work, the plotting, the art. Pretty much everything. I just feel like the dialogue has been off, I haven’t enjoyed Christian as much as a character, I haven’t enjoyed this arc at all, I’ve felt like everything in it connects very clunkily…it just feels like everything is off. That’s me though. Why do you think it’s still great?
MM: Well, when we look at how long the comic has been running, it brings out some really great stories. The first volume in it’s entirety I think is amazing, from Who Killed Retro Girl? all the way through the art about how old Walker is, and don’t forget the Warren Ellis issue! I just love the art, and I adore the dialogue.
I can agree that recently the book has fallen off kilter, but generally I do like a lot of what has happened. I think that Bendis’ dialogue here is still great, and Oeming is doing some really interesting things with his art. There was recently a scene of a car crash that played out really well artistically. Plus, you’ve gotta love Joss Whedon being hunted and gunned down in the first issue.
For me, it’s really all of Powers as a whole that I’m viewing here when considering our list, and that’s why I rated it as well as I did. Powers, to me, is a book Bendis should take more time to focus on, because when he gave that book the love and attention he gave it during volume 1 it was a stunning example of his writing talent.
Continued belowDH: Wait…wait…wait…how can we rate Powers that high if even you agree it hasn’t been as good lately? We’re not rating these series as whole – it’s a current list. Are you sure you’re cool with Powers being higher than Stumptown? I mean, to me there is no way Powers is a better crime book right now than Stumptown. Not one bit.
MM: I don’t think it’s AS good as it was, but I do still think it’s good! I get really excited whenever a new issue comes out, much more than Stumptown – no offense. I don’t even consider Powers a crime book anymore, as it’s moved away from that element a lot. So when I say off kilter, I don’t mean bad. I still love the book. It’s a favorite!
#5. BPRD and Hellboy (tie)
MM: Now we’re really on the big books that I think you and I will both have a lot to say about. Tied at #5 is Hellboy and BPRD, both by Mike Mignola and various artists throughout.
Now, I’ve never actually read BPRD, astonishingly enough. Why don’t you start us off and tell us why you love BPRD, and then I’ll take Hellboy.
DH: To me, the reason why BPRD works better is because it acts as a cohesive whole story while Hellboy meanders back and forth. When I read Hellboy, I feel like it is a very entertaining read that works as well as it does because Hellboy is such a dynamic lead. At the same time, I feel like everything ties together in such a way that is less rewarding and less logical than the way BPRD does it. I feel like Mignola as a writer leaves too much for the narrative as a stretch for the reader to piece together.
Yet when he works with John Arcudi or Joshua Dysart on the various BPRD series, his ideas are tempered by the storytelling prowess of those two people who are, by trade, writers. I think their individual skill sets amplify their success as a whole. BPRD is one of the most remarkable ongoing narratives in comics, tying a huge cast of characters and the whole of the Mignolaverse together with stunning character moments and incredible plots.
Plus, the cast of Hellboy is pretty much Hellboy always. BPRd has one of the richest casts in comics…you’ve got leads like Liz, Abe and Johann, while we also have Kate Corrigan, the suspicious Andrew Devon, and the incredibly mysterious Panya. Throw in oldies but (potentially dead) goodies like Roger (RIP) and Captain Daimio, and you’ve got one freaking awesome cast. And the villains! The Black Flame anyone? I think BPRD just works so much better from a storytelling standpoint than Hellboy does – its far more fascinating and much more well told.
Artistically, BPRD gives us a consistent artistic voice in the absurdly talented Guy Davis (Eisner winner, people!). His creature design and visual storytelling ability is unparalleled in comics today in my book, and that ramps it up over the excellent but inconsistent art from Hellboy – a book that features new artists fairly regularly, but mainly Duncan Fegredo and Richard Corben. They’re both some of the best books for art though, I just prefer BPRD.
I’m just shocked you don’t read BPRD. How can you read Hellboy and not BPRD? That’s like saying “thanks for the appetizer, but I’ll pass on the entree. I’m full.”
MM: Ha! I don’t know why I don’t read BPRD, man. I guess, really, it’s because I jumped on the whole Hellboy/BPRD bandwagon late anyways, and by the time I had sufficiently caught up with the Hellboy mythos, I looked at BPRD and said, “Uhm, I’ll get to that soon.” And that soon part never happened. I don’t have anything against BPRD and I’m sure it’s fun. Heck, I hear it has a good deal of Lobster Johnson, and that I am ALL for. I just… never got around to reading it.
I do love me some Hellboy, though.
DH: Ol’ Lobster Johnson is pretty damn great. I love how these two books work together (well, not very much recently), and I think we’ll be seeing the two bridge back together soonish. I mean, its Hell on Earth right now for BPRD and you’ve got King Hellboy facing off against an undead army. How will they not eventually come together?
Continued belowI have to say, the one thing I prefer on Hellboy is that Mignola does such an amazing job at tying in folklore from so many different areas of the world into the narrative. The guy is clearly a bit of a scholar on the subject, and he’s developed the world to be influenced by so much of real world stories. I love seeing that in my pop culture: self awareness.
MM: See, to me that’s one of the elements of Hellboy that really gets me into it: the folklore. There is so much classical reimaginations going on, one of my favorite being a recent appearance by Baba Yaga. Hellboy has all these “classic” villains, classic as in based on elements of real life and stories as opposed to the more intentionally fictional BPRD (from what I know, at least). I love that Rasputin is a huge element of the Hellboy story, in the initial stories at least. These are things that resonate to me really well as the reader.
Of course, I think Hellboy is just ultimately a classic comic. You can’t be a comic fan and not read Hellboy to some extent. There’s SO much out there in the Hellboy universe, and it’s SO easy to get into! Heck, I didn’t even start at the beginning with his tale. I started in the middle and worked backwards and forwards at the same time. He’s just such a great character. He’s stoic and he’s bad ass, and now he’s apparently the King of England? Well, alright, I’ll dig it! But Hellboy’s comic has always more or less been so centric on the plot and the weird elements of different fairy tales that Mignola brings in, and it reads as this really great fantasy/horror comic with a lead who can spend an entire issue being drunk and it’s still great. Plus, he loves pancakes and cats. That, to me, is the definition of a true hero.
Plus, the book has had an incredibly wide and interesting run of artists, including Duncan Fegredo currently. I love Fegredo’s art, and it’s one of the best elements of the book. Mignola so often works with artists that “get” his vision and style that the book always reads and looks very smooth.
I don’t think the movies ever did him justice, though. Him or any of the characters. And if they make a third movie, they NEED Lobster Johnson in it. Please!
DH: My problem with Hellboy continues to be a lack of focus. With books like “Hellboy in Mexico (or, a Drunken Blur),’ the focus is entirely on because its a one-shot story that focuses on character and works from there. For that reason, I’d say its one of the best Hellboy books ever and maybe one of my two or three favorite issues of the year. I think in the regular minis, Mignola gets lost in the mythology you love so much and his storytelling suffers because of it. I love Hellboy, I just wish there was a second writer to help tighten it up a bit perhaps.
MM: I think that’s fair. I know that a few people haven’t been crazy about the current Hellboy trilogy arc going on, but I just enjoy the ride. I think Mignola manages to put together these really fun and epic stories that read very well when completed, and while the book sometimes feels like it’s out of focus it still fits all really well together.
#4. Atomic Robo
MM: Next, at #4 we have what I think is kind of a perfect segue comic in tone. It’s Atomic Robo, by Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener!
I think Atomic Robo is arguably one of the best indie comics on the market, and both Clevineger and Wegener deserve more recognition for it. I can’t think of a single person who was handed an Atomic Robo comic that didn’t love it! The book is smart, the book is hilarious, and it’s an incredibly sharp read. I love that it (like the Hellboy/BPRD book) focuses on specific times and arcs rather than tell a fluid story, because it all fits within it’s timeline and it offers a lot more room for creativity.
Continued belowReally, Atomic Robo is one of the few comics on our list that I have zero complaints about whatsoever.
How about you, David? Let’s hear your Robo love.
DH: I don’t have any complaints either. Atomic Robo is a book that the creators know what they want and they give it to us in every issue. Its the most fun there is in comics, I grin like an idiot when I read this book. It is just a good time in comic form, making me laugh hysterically with both the art and the writing. Clevinger and Wegener are two of the best in the business, and I love everything they’ve done with this book. To me, Robo is the best new character in probably the past ten years of comics. That’s heady praise. I love this book. It just doesn’t hit the same heights as the other books ahead of it on my list.
MM: Agreed tenfold. Robo is just such a fun book. It’s also fun to note that Robo is consistently the stand out title on Free Comic Book Day, and I think it’s important to note that Robo is that great in even it’s FREE offerings. I mean, what more do people want? Most Free Comic Book Day books from larger publishers feel a tad half-assed and just thrown together, but Atomic Robo is just as consistent as the ones you pay for.
#2. Chew and Invincible (tie)
MM: So let’s move on to the finale. Tied at #2 we have Chew by John Layman and Rob Guillory and Invincible by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker with the art being done by Ryan Ottley. These are two OUTSTANDING comics that we at MC have repeatedly praised time and time again. David, why don’t you start us off.
DH: I’ll start with Invincible – I think it’s the best superhero book out there. Bar none. I don’t think anyone accomplishes what Kirkman does month in and month out on this book – he’s created his own universe of characters that have depth to themselves and their relationships, he’s created incredible threats for his characters, and he’s in the midst of his magnum opus with the Viltrumite War. He has a partner that possibly overshadows him too, as Ryan Ottley throws down the best superhero art on the planet. The guy’s work is so dynamic and intense and awesome that every issue is a feast for your eyes. It’s amazing that it didn’t finish higher on my list.
But Chew, from John Layman and Rob Guillory, is one of the most original books I’ve ever read. It’s hilarious, inventive, rewarding for those with a keen eye for detail, intelligent, badass, and just one of the top 4 or 5 books on the market probably. All of the hype that they’ve gotten? They’ve deserved. Very few books I look forward to as much as this one, and its because Layman and Guillory are such brilliant creators that work so well together. I mean come on – Poyo? Are you freaking kidding me? This book should be one of the biggest on the planet, bar none.
What about you? You had Invincible higher than Chew. Why is that?
MM: Invincible is just such an outstanding book that has really evolved since it began. At first it was like an Ultimate Spider-Man book. Invincible felt like a reimagining of the entire young superhero archetype, with Mark growing slowly as the son of the world’s most dangerous villain to the man he is now. The book has even shifted in tone since then, putting Mark through a much more dangerous ringer than any other hero. Mark has made some very important decisions that have shaped his characterization and currently put him in certain (spoiler-riffic) predicaments with the Viltrumite War. Kirkman is also the type of writer that you can never feel safe with, so Invincible is always one of the most surprising and shocking books. I also love the way that he seeds little story elements that become incredibly important in 30 or so issues, so being a long term reader of the book is always very rewarding.
However, then there’s Chew. Why didn’t it beat Invincible? Mainly because it hasn’t had as much time as Invincible! 70+ issues verse 15 there. But you’re right – Chew is a completely out of left field original masterpiece already. John Layman and Rob Guillory have showed up out of nowhere with such a powerhouse of a book, and Chew is repeatedly a book that is both bad-ass and completely hysterical. It’s also insanely inventive. A cibopath? That’s awesome! I mean, this book is so good that I went out and tried beets for the first time. Any comic that can make you go try a new food certainly is worthwhile.
DH: That’s silly! Even Tony admits beets are gross!
You covered maybe my favorite thing about Kirkman books – you really do think anything is possible. When the letters column suggested Mark was going to die in issue 74, I totally thought they were going to kill him! Thank god they didn’t, but that’s always on the table. Is that why The Walking Dead finished at your top spot?
MM: I’m still waiting for Mark to die, yes, hahaha.
But – number one spot is Walking Dead, by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, with the art now being done by Charlie Adlard (in a similar way to how Walker was replaced by Ottley at issue #7).
#1 – The Walking Dead
MM: You’re 100% right – it is unpredictable, it is frightening, and it is the definitive zombie comic book of all time. The Walking Dead has absolutely broken every boundary you’d imagine. The things we’ve seen in that book is that type of thing you will never see in any other book ever. It is Kirkman’s masterpiece, and I don’t think it has ever fallen down in quality. Especially now, the current arc is nerve wracking. Every issue I wait for the ball to drop, and with issue 80 we have a new arc entitled No Way Out which definitely doesn’t bode well.
The Walking Dead also wins in the number one spot because I know a ton of people who don’t like reading comic books, and all of them read the Walking Dead in trade. I’ve met people who have never read a Batman comic in their life, but love talking about the Walking Dead. Even MORE people are excited about the upcoming TV show. I mean, this is THE comic on the market right now not put out by DC or Marvel.
The Walking Dead was featured in your number one spot as well. Tell the readers at home why, David!
DH: I don’t just think its the definitive zombie comic book of all time – I think its the definitive zombie anything of all time. Romero invented it, Boyle improved on it, but Kirkman nailed it. I am a zombie media aficionado and The Walking Dead is everything I’ve ever wanted out of a zombie story. Kirkman’s success ties so much into his brilliant work with his characters, and I think this is his greatest character work ever as well as his best comic.
I hate reviewing this book, and the reason why is because it is so freaking hard to come up with another reason as to why it is so damn awesome. It’s just the best. There is little else to it. The reason there is a cavalcade of buzz behind it is because of that reason. No other book could have finished at the top of my list. It’s freaking incredible.
MM: True. I rarely take Walking Dead with my weekly reviews because it’s hard to write “this was awesome again” on a monthly basis.
Well, that just about wraps it up for us! Do you have any additional things you’d like to add before we close off this chapter?
DH: Robert Kirkman for President?
MM: Who is VP though? Ryan Ottley, Cory Walker, Tony Moore, Charlie Adlard, or Jason Howard?
DH: Walker is his BFF so Walker. Science Dog can be the Presidential pet.
