I would have to say that my favorite indie comic right now has to be Greg Rucka’s Queen & Country (and its related mini-series) published by Oni Press. Rucka writes the best espionage/political stories out there, and the rotating artists on each storyarc keep the book looking fresh.

Ok here we go. I shop at Borderlands Comics and Games in Jacksonville, FL. I think the zip code is 32211 but I’m not sure. They don’t stock a lot of indie or small press books at all. I think they think Dark Horse and Image count as small press. They will order things for customers if the customer asks for it, so what people in Jacksonville need to do is spread the word about the good small press books. I’ve reached some through my site, but we can reach others. Start a fanzine. Leave comics in waiting rooms. Be creative. Talk about your favorite books while in the stores. Some of the buzz will probably wear off on the retailers if they hear customers mentioning certain books all the time. I know that’s worked in the past, especially in getting the store to carry manga. Support your store and most likely they’ll support you. It’s their job after all.
