Looks like they have some pretty good comics there. I'll be checking out Amelia Cole, Bandette and Edison Rex for sure. Need to see more of The October Girl. Aesop's Ark didn't really do anything for me.

October Girl (man, who knew Smith wrote well, too?) and Bandette the most for me.

These are up on Comixology now. Looks like Amelia Cole is the only full-length comic. The rest are around 16 pages.

Define 'full length' because as long as they use those 16 pages to tell a complete story or first part of a serial that's 'full length'.
If you mean '22 pages of story' then the majority of Marvel and Dc don't even qualify any more.Notable New Comics Shipping the Week of 09-12-12

I'm all over Matthew Dow Smith's The October Girl. The art looks like it's some of his best work.

Edison Rex was good enough to get me to continue, but it's going to need to show me something special pretty soon.Free your soul and let it fly....

What I read was decent enough. All the same, I'm convinced that the Chris Roberson thing a few weeks ago was just a publicity stunt. He barely got any attention outside of his failed Superman run until he mouthed off and got fired. Now he's a message board darling for "standing up to the man" about a contract that happened three decades ago, and...hey lookie!! he just happens to have his own comic line out now that everyone knows who he is.

Saw the preview for Bandette on Comixology this morning. Looked like a great art and writing style. I may be checking this one out. Given the style, I thought the age rating was a little strange. I would have thought it was suitable for younger.
In my opinion is implied in every post. Please make an effort to remember that.
