ther & Empire is another title that will help measure your local shop's "Indie Friendly Factor". I'm going toss out a guess that less than half the comic shops in the US ordered this series for the rack, but it should be available for reorder if you ask your shop to place an order for you. Like high-adventure and sci-fi mixed up with fantasy? This is definitely worth checking out. Grab the preview PDF and decide for yourself.
