A relatively small ComicBook company. It started out jumping the "[[NinetiesAntiHero Bad Girls]]" bandwagon, taking the fad to its logical conclusion - in other words, they published a lot supernaturally flavored near-porn. Sometime around 2001, the EIC realized that porn alone wasn't going to cut it. The company approached a number of established writers and offered them an opportunity to publish their creator-owned comics without any content restrictions whatsoever. Creator/WarrenEllis latched onto them ''hard'', resulting in them becoming known as "[[BrandNameTakeover The guys who print those awesome Warren Ellis comics no sane publisher would touch with a cattle prod]]"... along with loads of near-porn. And [[{{Gorn}} graphic horror.]]

!!Most of Avatar's books generally have these tropes:

* BrandNameTakeover: "Avatar Press? Oh, yeahhhh... Warren Ellis' company. They make some Garth Ennis stuff, too. [[TropesAreNotBad They rock so hard]] [[Creator/PattonOswalt they change the physical properties of things!]]"
* DoingItForTheArt: Pretty much why they managed to get guys like Ellis, Ennis, and Moore.
* FanService: Unless Ellis or Ennis is writing, then it quickly becomes FanDisservice.
* {{Gorn}}: The horror titles are full of it, especially in the various alternative covers.
