A quiet corner for indie comics. Finished reads and ongoing stacks.
I hate to lay such a critical hammer to something that obviously took a lot of effort to make. I really do. But with several new titles and first issues being launched every week, competition is thick. If you don’t stand out you might as well be sitting down. And while Winnebago Graveyard tries to […]
I have to admit, it’s a really impressive decision to make a hot-headed brat of a character your main protagonist. At the beginning of the comic I found Keith to be a bit deplorable, even as a kid. Not that he’s a bad character, he’s just an angry character and sort of a whiny loser […]
Let’s be honest: comics are no longer for kids. Kids are into all different kinds of media today, but comics are not one of them. That’s not to say they won’t give comics a chance. At Halloween, I like to give out comics to little trick-r-treaters. Their faces light up when they see a comic […]
Kill The Minotaur begins in Crete around 1500 B.C. Here we encounter King Minos, and though we don’t see him, we learn of his son, the titular Minotaur. Fast forward to Athens, eight years later. King Minos has defeated Athens and yearly extracts a select group of Athenians to take back to Crete for reasons […]
“…the sins of priests have consequences in the body of the church…” –El Torres, Roman Ritual Just what the hell— er, that is, what under Heaven would the Holy Roman Church do if His Holiness the Pope was possessed? With so many movies in the genre of demon possession, doesn’t that sound like a movie […]
There’s not much that hasn’t been said about Spencer & Locke at this point. Simply put, it’s the best series out right now. I can’t think of any other recent comic of the last few years, that has hit all the highlights, both major and minor, of what makes a comic truly good. It has […]
HOT DAMN! Frank Martin has done it again with this third volume of the Modern Testament series! Not to mention no happy endings to be found in this like in the previous volumes! Well, unless you count Bad Djinn more or less getting his way in ‘Shoulder Djinn’ as he and Good Djinn hover over […]
Boy has it been one HELL of a wild (and gory) ride here in the world of Escape From Jesus Island! Shawn French really doesn’t hold back on anything in this wild ride from his (insane?) imagination. One helped brought to life by Mortimer Glum as well. And I’ll say this, ol’ Lithe has a […]
There are things in this world that make it a better place just because it exists and this my friends is one of them! While it screams shades of Mr. Peabody & Sherman in many respects this youthful imagining of the iconic pair is up there for me as one of the greatest incarnations I’ve […]
One of the greatest features of the 21st century is the ability of unknown creators to reach a crowd not previously accessible. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. have made the promotional side of the business for those not fortunate enough to land big publishing deals (or even small ones) much more efficient and easier to handle […]
