The two big comic book companies, DC Comics and Marvel Comics, rule the comic book market and have done so for decades. But their reign right now is largely due to inertia and for decades comic boo…
I think the old independet comics scene was just different, not better or worse. It’d be great to see more 80s style indie comics made again, but I wouldn’t want them to replace what we have now.
Oh yeah, the Geoff Johns stuff. I didn’t know Halo and Hornsby was by them too. I didn’t read any of their books yet (I usually wait until a series is done or has a large enough backlog) though they didn’t give me 80s indie comic vibes when I saw them.

Relevant video about the history of Elfquest, which was one of first underground/self published comics to “get big”
I’ll check it out. I still need to read Elfquest.
Closest we’ve got now, I think, are the Ghost Machine books from Image. Those have been a great read so far.

Mostly Geiger, Rook and Redcoat giving me that vibe.
