Seriously Awesome Comics

Kagcomix (who else?) says:

“There are really awesome artists from North America and Europe who toil forever on seriously awesome comics. i’d just like to give them some recognition, y’know. I’m talking about comics from Oni Press and things like that, stuff that isn’t totaly branded (and there’s a lot of non-branded or little known stuff). so please GAPAs’, can we give it a try?”

There are already threads devoted to manga, so please stick to non-manga comics on this one.
