Off topic from Marvel stuff, but I wanted to put it up before I forgot.
Let's all recommend stuff that doesn't come from Marvel or DC (and maybe Image if we can avoid it, I think everyone knows about Image). Give some lesser known books and lesser known publishers a push.
I specifically wanna know about Valiant. I saw some art from 4001 AD and was blown away by it. The ones that grab me the most are Quantum and Woody and Rai, but I've heard good things about Ninjak and Bloodshot: Reborn as well. Anyone got recommendations?

First off Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye is the best comic book coming out at the moment.
Secondly if you're looking for Valiant comics I highly recommend Archer and Armstrong, it's a brilliant buddy comedy and the second series will be coming out shortly. I can't speak much about Q&A or Rai as I haven't read either but I have read Harbringer, Bloodshot, and X-O Manowar. I recommend them in that order, I've also read a couple issues of Ivar, Timewalker which is the best Doctor Who not starring The Doctor, Bloodshot Reborn, which was just getting started when my shop stopped getting it in, and Ninjak which I enjoyed a lot but wasn't really anything special in the three issues I read.

Elec about covered Valiant.
Definitely check out Rai. It's my favorite of their comics at the moment. Pure sci fi epicness with gorgeous art to boot.
X-O Manowar is an alien sci-fi superhero comic in the vein of Green Lantern, but more mature and better than anything that's been put out since Johns left.
Unity is their superhero team comic. I highly recommend the first 21 issues. After that, it goes off the rails.
Harbinger was my favorite comic for a long time. Think X-Men, only Xavier and Magneto are one character and Japanese. The five main characters are beautifully developed, and the lead, Peter Stanchek, is IMO one of the greatest comic book characters of all time. Likewise for the villain (Prof X meets Magneto): Toyo Harada.
Ninjak is pretty good spy fair, but probably their weakest book at the moment.
I haven't read Bloodshot Reborn but I've only heard good things about it.
