There are publishers on your list, such as BOOM! that have only been publishing since circa 2005, so either they should be removed or other publishers operating only since then should be included.

I'm a big fan of Wildstorm, but I think they should be removed: they either were part of Image (already on the list and other Image studio's aren't) or DC. Top Cow would count from the early Image comics though, because they went independent for a while, due to disagreements between Marc Silvestri and Rob Liefeld.
I'd add : Acclaim Comics (but not going to vote for)who replaced Valiant in the 90s, Slave Labor Graphics (which I'll probably will vote for) and Oni Press.
(There are probably more, but those 3 come to mind).
edit: Was Epic an independent publisher from Marvel?

Did they publish anything worthy of note beyond The Incal prior to 2005? Just a little book called Heavy Metal that changed the comics landscape. |

No, they were always a part of Marvel. I'm kinda okay with them being on the list as creators could take their work to other publishers or self-publish without penalty as long as it did not include Marvel characters or elements of the Marvel Universe. |

Fiction House I think is a must! This one's new to me. Looks interesting. Fiction House was memorable if only for their covers. Also: Standard (on the strength of Toth's work for them) Harvey (pre-code horror and post-code kid stuff) Underground publishers: Last Gasp, Print Mint, Apex, etc. Renegade (possibly my favorite of the 80s indies) Companies with the dubious distinction of publishing me: Caliber, Hamilton, Acclaim Jim Shooter's magic touch: Defiant, Broadway Fantagraph icsEerie publications |

I might include Vertigo, since you have Epic on there.
Also, the Pinis did publish a bunch of other stuff for about the time when Elfquest was at it's peak... I think that was when they were Apple Comics though.
I think Mirage did, too. In both cases, though, it wasn't for long, so perhaps it's not valid for this poll.

But, until the Nu52 in 2011, they functioned as their own entity with their own unique brand and flavor within both the DC and image organizations. Quantum and Woody aside, did they have any output that would cause someone to vote for them here? Unfamiliar with this. Enlighten me. I know Scott Pilgrim. What else have they done? It was owned and run by Marvel, but functioned as its own unique brand. Ya know, I wonder if Star comics should be eligible using the same rationale? |

Yeah, but they also had Elektra Assassin and a series of Tomb of Dracula under Epic, so I think it's better to leave them off, otherwise the differences between Epic and Vertigo would be getting arbitrary. |

Standard (on the strength of Toth's work for them) Harvey (pre-code horror and post-code kid stuff) Added. Which ones, specifically, would you recommend adding? There are hundreds, so which ones are particularly of note and likely to earn a vote? Added More details needed! Really? I don't think I've heard anyone even mention Defiant or Broadway since the late 1990s, but if you say so, they technically qualify... Noted. Good one (but I doubt anyone will pick it) |
