Atomic Robo, of course. I just bought the most recent mini - Atomic Robo and the Ghost of Station X.
Mudman - Paul Grist doing a sort of British Spider-Man kind of comic. Love the art, but the writing is a little shaky.
Fatale - Noir, horror, pulpy goodness from Brubaker/Phillips.
Prophet - Re-read the 1st issue after reading Glory, and I liked it a bit more than the first time around. It could still use some more characterization and plot, but I'll keep reading it to see where it's going. Love the art and the world-building.
Glory - Really very good. It's a bit like Promethea, and I'm hoping it doesn't get any more like it so that it's not totally derivative. Great all-around book.
Peter Panzerfaust - There's something fun about this book, despite some iffy writing and pacing, and some inconsistent art. It's Peter Pan in France during WWII, teaming up with a gang of French orphans to find his lost love, while avoiding the SS Captain, Hook.
Severered - Scott Snyder co-writes with Scott Tuft a creepy historical horror comic about a boy traveling across the country alone to meet his long-lost father, and the serial killer who does terrible things to small boys.
I'm reading BPRD in trade, and I'm looking forward to Brian Wood's The Massive and his run on Conan with Becky Cloonan.
What indies are you guys reading?

Does Batman count as an indie?

I just read a bunch. Most of this is indie I guess: Strangers in Paradise Girls (Luna Brothers screwed up sexual survival horror) Grease Monkey (I need to pick up more of that, just read the first few) Grimm Fairy Tales (a lot of those!) And more, but that's all in my "tell me what comics to read" thread, and I have forgotten the titles of them.

The closest thing I've picked up to an indy comic this year is IDW's Steve Canyon Vol. 1 (which is awesome).

None. Finances dictated I cut down, so I went cold turkey with the advent of the New DCU, figuring I would eventually go digital. But I find in all these months I still haven't gone through my unread comics and TPB's yet, so I can't justify the cost of a Tablet and Downloads until I do. The good thing about digital is that the new stories I want to read will still be there when I am ready, and probably at a lower price.

Love and Rockets
Rasl (A little behind)
Luther Strode
Heart
Sixth Gun
Glory
Prophet
Dark Hose Presents
A mix of Dynamite books (Lone Ranger, Green Hornet) though I think these are just franchise books.
I try to pick up an indy comic for any mainstream title I pick up. The problem is that I live further away from a comic shop, so I'm buying more and more trades of stuff, particularly indy and European titles.

Empowered
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Umbrella Academy
So, no monthlies. But any new issues or trades or editions of the above three titles, I am guaranteed to eventually pick up.
But I do plan to enjoy Glory when I sample the first issue, and the same with the relaunched Supreme. I'm going to try all the new "Extreme" titles. (Prophet wasn't good enough to get me to buy the second issue, but I still have high hopes for the rest of the relaunch.)

I will be reading any new issues of Umbrella Academy, or Brubaker's work with Sean Phillips.
