The Department of Truth is a New Weird indie comic by James Tynion where FBI agent Cole Turner learns that the Earth is flat, Barack Obama was born in Kenya, and all school shooting victims are paid actors. At least, that's what
will happen, because conspiracy theories are so widespread that if enough people start to believe in them, reality will alter so that they were always real. Cole is enlisted in the Department of Truth lead by Lee Harvey Oswald (or is he?) to strike down lies before they become the truth, and as the lies go deeper and the Department's own morality comes under question, Cole's pretty much only got his husband left to rely on for emotional support.

The Backstagers by James Tynion (you're gonna see his name a lot) is an urban fantasy comic where new kid Jory joins his school's drama club as a backstager, a club suffering under the dramatic twins who run the place. Fortunately for Jory his theatre's got a secret; a magical, cavernous world that the backstagers can enter whenever they want.

Wynd by James Tynion (last one) is X-Men without the pretense. Yeah the hero lives in a world oppressing him for the parts of him it resents, except he's actually in love with the hunky palace gardener in between the world shaking quest to find salvation for the Weirdbloods, and his struggle to accept that who he is matters and to be only be accepted through normalcy isn't acceptance at all.

Boneheaded: A Story About Masks by Scott Foss stars Lee Kim, a man who really just wants to find a nice Korean boyfriend that his mother will like. Unfortunately for Lee he gets embroiled in a sinister superhero plot with lots of manipulation and drama on his way to figure out how to like himself when he's got a skull for a face.
And for some more mainstream recs.

Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye is only the official name, the
real name is Gay Robots In Space. Rodimus Price takes his crew on a journey to find the legendary Knights of Cybertron, and James Roberts asks and answers the most important question about the IDW universe. "If there are no girl Transformers, who do they fall in love with?" The answer, of course, being "other guys", establishing Cybertron as a planet of homoromantic asexual Transformers with multiple relationships being given focus in the comic's runtime, most notably with Chromedome and Rewind and later Tailgate and Cyclonus. The comics later put down the No Girls Allowed sign and female Transformers showed up, leading to Anode and Lug, the first transgender characters in the franchise's history.

Loki: Agent of Asgard by Al Ewing is the continuation of Kieron Gillen's Journey into Mystery, and it was this comic that revealed the God of Lies and Mischief was sometimes the Goddess of Lies and Mischief, canonically establishing Loki as genderfluid. Loki's on a quest for redemption to wipe the slate of their many, many crimes clean, and they'll lie, cheat and steal under the service of Freya the All-Mother to do it.
