In my effort to find more indie webcomics, I have compiled a list which you may peruse. They are mostly sorted by vibe, genre, or subject matter, and then alphabetically. Most here are webcomics, but I'll also point out small indie publications, presses, collectives, and events (focused on the UK, where I'm from). If you have any of your own recommendations, please put them in the comment box so that I can add them!
This list is and always be a work in progress; I haven't read every comic under the sun... yet.

Recoil by Spire Eaton (WC)(P): Our protagonist, Kalo, discovers he has powers in a deadly accident and is taken to an institution that may not be what it seems...
Robot(ic)s
Mega Robo Bros by Niell Cameron (P): Alex and Freddy are normal brothers in a futuristic London, except for the fact that they are superpowered robots! Also available from Niell's shop.

Descender by Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen (P): After the titan Harvesters decimate the Core Planets, sparing only the machines, robots are outlawed and destroyed across the galaxy. Only TIM-21, a young android who has lain inactive in the ten years since, can uncover the answers to the mystery of the Harvesters.
