Reddit reviews King City

The first thing that came to mind (that wasn't Transmetro) is Graham's King City. It's not without narrative flaws, and it's a highly different interpretation of urban sci-fi. But it's gritty and oozing with creativity.

Check these out:

• Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky
  
• King City by Brandon Graham
  
• Rat Queens by Kurtis Wiebe and Roc Upchurch
  
• Pretty Deadly by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios

King City is definitely one of the most interesting books that I have ever experienced. I highly recommend it.

King City by Brandon Graham, kinda sorta fits with what you want. It's pretty sci-fi heavy, and it's martial arts mythology is pretty weird (all has to do with cats) but if you wind up liking /u/aisforadrian suggestion of Infinite Kung Fu, this is something you might want to check out next.

I've never read Shoalin Cowboy, but it might be up your alley as well.

I've posted this before, but I'd recommend:

Infinite Kung-Fu is a really cool and gorgeous kung-fu comic.

King City is hilarious and fantastic.

The Nao of Brown is great, but a lot more serious the other two.

Same with Asterios Polyp, more serious but it's a beautiful book and a really good read.

American Born Chinese is a great book about appreciating your identity.

Sexcastle is over-the-top, ridiculous 80's action movie fun.

preordered mine, ten bucks.

O'Malley recommended Sharknife and King City a while ago. I Picked them both up and loved King City. I had some issues with the first Sharknife but the second one was much better.

King City by Brandon Graham from Image Comics. It’s black and white, but don’t let that put you off cuz it’s like 400+ pages for about $20 ($12.98 on Amazon atm) and it’s a good read

Working my way through Brandon Graham’s King City

I don’t know what to think of it. Graham is stupid talented and every page is just wild to look at, but I’m not overly invested. More appreciation than enjoyment.
