Line 55:
* ''[[Strangers in Paradise]]'' is a [[Slice of Life]] story, mixed [[Girls Love|lesbian romantic comedy]], [[The Syndicate|crime]] [[They Fight Crime|drama]], and on occasion a [[Xena]] parody.
* ''[[Ronin (comics)|Ronin]]'' is a mixture of fantasy, [[Cyberpunk|cyber punk]], [[After the End|post apocalyptic]] action comic with a dose of [[Time Travel]] for good measure..
* ''[[Grimjack]]'' by John Ostrander covers a whole lot of genres. Its protagonist is a cross between Sam Spade and [[Conan the Barbarian]] who lives in a city at the center of the multiverse populated by, among other things, humans, robots, talking animals, ghosts, and vampires. Magic works in some parts of the city, technology in others, some places have both and others neither. Ostrander said he was inspired by Dr.''[[Doctor Who]]''{{'}}s ability tell any kind of story it wanted, which is true of ''Grimjack'' without it being very much like Dr.''Doctor Who'' at all
* ''[[Wild CATS|Wild Cats Version 3.0]]''. While it is technically a super-hero comic, there aren't many super-heroics, and the titular team isn't even assembled until the last story arc. It is also very philosophical, topics ranging from questioning if a corporation can be truly good, to how far people will go to maintain the status quo, or adapt to new situations.
* ''[[Usagi Yojimbo]]''. At first blush, it's a pretty standard samurai story. Albeit one starring an anthropomorphic bunny. Then the ghosts and ghouls start showing up, then it veers into a pure detective story, then slice-of-life, almost [[Edutainment]], in/about Shogunate Japan, and even tragedy raw enough to draw tears. It's an interesting series.
