What I recently noticed when I went to order my comics in the last couple of months is that Quinn and Vigil are publishing new issues of Faust: Love of the Damned.
I really like this book. I don't know how many Faust fans we have here but I figured I'd let people know since there's really been no advertising (that I've seen) about these upcoming issues.

I haven’t noticed any new issues, but I was surprised to see a collected edition of some of the original series on the shelves a few weeks back. I never read it, myself, but I did admire the artwork. I used to help out some friends of mine who owned a comic book store by working behind the counter on weekends, and there was one regular customer who absolutely loved Faust (that and Cherry Pop Tart). Vigil did some work for First Comics (I don’t remember what) that I did read, but he didn’t seem to bring his A game to it, IMO.
Vigil did a mini-series titled Zero Tolerance for First.
13 was the last issue which came out YEARS ago. I ordered 14 last month and just ordered 15 so hopefully the solicit isn't just a tease.
Zero Tolerance, yes... that's the series I was thinking of. I didn't much care for it. I traded it and Team Yankee (another First Comics mini-series) to a friend of mine.
Speaking of "porn comics" (for lack of a better term), another one which has recently resurfaced is Howard Chaykin's Black Kiss (Black Kiss II, actually). I bought and read the first issue, then decided to tradewait.
Another comic which features copious amounts of female nudity is Wally Wood's Cannon. It's not particularly well-written, but who the heck cares?
Oh, Lost Girls. I never did read all of that.
I really enjoyed the first Black Kiss but, like you, I'm tradewaiting Black Kiss II.
Faust is like those grindhouse b-movies, you know? Not much story but plenty of gore/sex. It's a guilty pleasure. ;)
I recently revisited comics in my long boxes and in my database and realized that I'm missing an issue of Faust published by Avatar. Faust: Claire's Lust is the issue and went trolling around to see how available it was.
I think I found 2 copies; 1 priced at $35 and the other at $90! Holy moley! :(
