I just read Death Vigil by Stjepan Sejic (who's done Witchblade, Aphrodite, Sunstone, etc.), and it is some really good stuff.
It's an urban horror, staring characters killed and raised by the grim reaper to fight in the Death Vigil, who stand against the Enemy, Lovecraftian Primordials who enter our world via necromancers.
Strong characters, grade A++ art, some good humor in there too. If you've read any of Sejic's stuff, you'll probably love Death Vigil too.
Ooh yea, and that Death Vigil comic?
The Author released the first issue for free.
So, I recommend it ^^
There's a new comic called 'Zodiac Star Force' from Dark Horse. It's about a team of magic girls, who retired after beating the old big bad, but are getting back in the game when monsters begin reappearing- sometimes reluctantly, as things didn't always go well for all of them last time.
It's on issue 2 right now and it's good stuff.
Also, Atomic Robo moved to IDW. It's also online. Continues to be fun.

Pacific Rim: Tales from the Drift is turning out *really* pretty.
Heck, here's a Pat Lee cover:

If its pretty I'm reading it. 👆
Comics Alliance does a 'best of 2015, continued excellence in serial comics' that hits on several mentioned in this thread.
LazarusDystopian futures are hardly a rarity in science fiction, but Greg Rucka and Michael Lark have managed to create one that's entirely distinctive. It's a world where natural resources are incredibly scarce, controlled by aristocratic Families and protected by the Lazarii of the title, imbued with the power of being dead but then getting better again.
That world is fleshed out without ever relying on expository info dumps. Details are scattered into conversations, encouraging you to scan every line for hints. But Lazarus' best world-building tool is elegantly simple: captions over the establishing shots at the start of each scene.
These present the population of that place, broken down into 'Family', 'Serf' and 'Waste'. The bluntness of that language lays out the political heart of Lazarus, as does the accompanying numbers — small and precise for Family members, huge and approximated for the non-citizens classed as 'Waste'. Presented as cold hard fact, it makes the reader complicit in the way these people are dismissed by society. Which, if you've spent any time reading headlines in 2015, is a probably a familiar feeling. Like the best — worst? — dystopias, Lazarus never feels that far away. [Alex Spencer]
Lumberjanes and Saga are listed, as well as COPRA which I haven't heard of but is apparently Suicide Squad-esque, and then it caps things off with Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye

it's different but i think it's really well done. it's pretty creepy and it has some nice visuals too. incidentally--i've had loads of free time this holiday season and decided to finally dig into fables. pretty solid stuff. read the first 40-45 issues so far so still a ways to get caught up, but i've really liked most of the storylines.
