I'm a huge fan of Archaia Press…I've really enjoyed Mouseguard, Tumor, Critical Millennium, Old City Blues, Tales of Sand, Return of the Dapper Men, The Killer (want to check out Cursed Pirate Girl, which Vince was pimping last episode)…needless to say they have a lot of cool shit out there.  But quite honestly, a lot of the creators they have, I have never heard of before, and being that their price point is high (it is a quality product after all), it's hard to shell out the disposable income.

I'm just curious if anyone has found any gems out there, or anything on the horizon?

If you haven't checked out comixology, archaia has a ton of free previews and some issue #1s in their app.

I've read almost nothing from Archaia but I've heard good things about Okko, The Killer and The Secret History.

Thanks for the tip! I just downloaded 8 previews/free first issues.

Okko is one of my favorite Archaia titles! I loved the first two volumes of The Killer, but the third one is a bit of a letdown. As for The Secret History, I have the first omnibus on my shelf but have yet to read it. It's pretty Smiley

I've been meaning to read it ever since you recommended it. I'll get to it one of these days!

That one really intrigues me.

Those were exactly the three I was going to mention!

Rust by Royden Lepp was good, had a Iron Giant vibe to it.
