Any good decent easy to get into comic books that aren't the DC or Marvel Comics kind?

Also besides Walking Dead, there any good decent new stuff to read?
 
Loads.

If you like Kirkman though,then you should read his superhero book Invincible.

It's pretty fantastic.
 
Invincible is very good. I'd recommend it to any fan of the superhero genre, even though it goes through a sort of rollercoaster ride of "I love this" to "this is very, very close to me hating it" (at least from what I've read).
 
Scott Pilgrim is pretty great. Not an ongoing, though.
 
Valiant Entertainment has several good ones that they just rebooted. Archer & Armstrong, X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Harbinger, and Shadowman.

Various Dynamite ones like The Shadow, currently written by Garth Ennis. I've really really liked that one, very pulpy, dark, and violent, as well as well written. The Zorro/Lone Ranger ones are not bad, either, though the art isn't as good as in The Shadow. Haven't read the Green Hornet ones but apparently they're going to have them all together in one comic book special soon.

The Goon by Eric Powell

Also agree with Baramos on The Shadow

There's an Alex Ross comic coming out in the next two weeks called Masks which has a team up for The Shadow, The Spider, Green Hornet and Zorro. Sounds great

Intriguing that such properties did not, by and large, crossover previously.
 
1. Saga

Y: THE LAST MAN writer BRIAN K. VAUGHAN returns to comics with red-hot artist FIONA STAPLES for an all-new ONGOING SERIES!

2. The Manhattan Projects

What if the research and development department created to produce the first atomic bomb was a front for a series of other, more unusual, programs?

Welcome to THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS, a brand new, ongoing, monthly comic from the creators of THE RED WING. Brought to you by award-winning writer JONATHAN HICKMAN and possibly the best new talent of the year, NICK PITARRA, THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS is a look at history through a darker, much stranger, lens.

In a town where the living have to learn to deal with those who are supposed to be dead, Officer Cypress must solve a brutal murder, and everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect. A beautiful "farm noir" that puts a new twist on the zombie genre, created by NYT Bestselling author TIM SEELEY and acclaimed artist MIKE NORTON.

6. Who is/Where is Jake Ellis?

USAToday calls it an "anxiously anticipated modern thriller…Whodunit? McCann's done it again."

It's a story only Mignola could tell, as more of Hellboy's secrets are at last revealed, in the most bizarre depiction of Hell you've ever seen.

11. Conan the Barbarian

Her ensuing journey involves weaponized psychics, hypnotic advertising, talking dolphins, and seemingly immortal pursuers, as she attempts to find the flight's missing passenger, the man who was MIND MGMT's greatest success-and its most devastating failure.
