**WildStorm** was an imprint originally published by Image Comics that was later bought out by DC Comics. Their self-contained universe featured a lot of influential stories in the 90's. The company is known for a very 90's-style edginess with its characters, but they still published some of the finest creator-owned books of the decade.
