Underground Comics
Underground comics are where artists have the most fun, I'm guessing. For this post I read Tits and Clits, Whiteman, and a bit of Mr. Natural. The overt sexuality in a lot of underground comics is combined with weird scenarios that make reading them a really fun experience.
Whiteman is a really fun twist on the Beauty and The Beast trope where the woman, in a rare occasion, is The Beast. Tits and Clits is a really fun anthology type comic that features several different artists, all of whom are women. Mr. Natural, I found, was the most boring to me, to the point that after a few comics I couldn't be bothered to read more.
Underground comics have more freedom than mainstream comics, and because of that the content tends to be more outrageous than anything you would find in the mainstream. Anthologies like Tits and Clits also give female artists a platform to display their skill while writing fun short stories about sexuality - a subject most women in general are discouraged from publicly speaking about. Underground comics give people and stories a chance to be heard that they wouldn't have if they tried publishing their work for a general audience.
