Looking to go outside my comic book comfort zone...

After trying out some of the New 52 DC stuff, I thought a bunch of the books were good, but I'm still bothered by the fact that it's such a huge universe, and I'll never get the complete story, and it seems they're just going to keep getting their continuity screwed up.
So now I'm thinking of trying out some Dark Horse of Viz manga. Why those two publishers in particular? Because they have very reasonably priced digital options. 70 pages of "Dark Horse Presents" is $4. 120 pages of "One Piece" is $5.
I'm also looking into Red Circle comics or maybe the new Transformers books.
I'm open to other publishers too, but I do want to try to get three specific things:
1. A lot of bang for my comic buck.
2. A complete universe in one or two titles.
3. Something that's not too graphic or mature. I'm burned out on dark and bloody stuff.
So, can anyone recommend me their favorite indy stuff, perhaps based on my criteria?

How about Hypernaturals from Boom?
It's probably borderline on your 3rd rule but I don't think it would be too bad.
I'm also looking forward to Victories from Dark Horse but I believe I've heard that it would step all over the line for rule 3.
Good luck and if you find something new and good please let us know.
When I say mature, I just don't want Garth Ennis level stuff.
Not long from now, all that will stand between you and evil are the Victories—six heroes sworn to protect us from crime, corruption, and the dark. As one member cracks down on the violence, he discovers himself touched by a painful past through the psychic powers of Link. Will this trauma cause him to self-destruct or continue the fight?

Forewarning for you
I'm also thinking about checking out the new Valiant stuff.
