I GREW UP READING MIKE BARON COMICS. NEXUS WAS SUPER FUN, BUT I ABSOLUTELY FELL IN L-O-V-E WITH BADGER. HE WAS A BIT OF A MENTALLY UNSTABLE CHARACTER (OR A LOT, I DIDN’T JUDGE), AND HE KICKED SOME SERIOUS BUTT. AS A KID WHO ALWAYS FELT A LITTLE MENTALLY UNSTABLE CHARACTER (or a lot, I […]
GOTH GHOST GIRL IS ONE OF THOSE BOOKS THAT LOOKS SO SLICK, YOU’D JUST ASSUME THAT IT HAD BEEN IN PRODUCTION FOR YEARS ALREADY – NOT A BOOK THAT’S TRYING TO FUND ITS FIRST ISSUE. THAT’S WHY I WAS SHOCKED WHEN THE FIRST CAMPAIGN TO FUND THE BOOK AS A TRADE PAPERBACK DIDN’T SUCCEED…AND WHY […]
Can you feel it? That slight chill in the air, even though there’s no breeze? Breathing down the back of your neck…whispering in your ear…Halloween is almost here. What better time to harvest some new (or should I say old) indie projects from the fields of our favorite crowdfunding sites? Submitted for the approval of […]
BLISTER WAS A PROSE BOOK FIRST, THEN BOTH A COMIC AND A FICTITIOUS BAND WITH A REAL LEAD SINGLE…PRETTY MUCH, THE EXACT TYPE OF CONCEPT THAT MADE ME START CÖMIC RÄWK. GRANTED, IF THERE WAS A TOY LINE WITH A SPEAKER STACK THAT TRANSFORMED INTO HARV – MAYBE WITH A DICK-PUNCHING POWER GLOVE – THAT […]

AS WE FOLLOW THEM THROUGH THE FIRST THREE ISSUES OF THEIR comic journey, we: THRILL! As the band slays their three-drink minimum at empty […]
As a self-professed strange kid and purveyor of parody, I take some degree of pride during this time of the year in gifting my friends and family with items that are (at least somewhat) beyond the norm. Whether its a mug made from the penis bone of a blue whale (a very large mug) or […]
Those of us into indie comic books and graphic novels have known for a while that they don’t just revolve around super heroes anymore. They can span fantasy, sci-fi, horror, fiction, nonfiction, biographies, and even environmental awareness! Seriously, when was the last time there was a comic, cartoon, or commercial about the environment? The news […]
Hello, my fellow strange kids! It feels great to be back, and I’ve got a couple of amazing new projects to share with you: one from Russia (with love), and the other from ancient Egypt…by way of New York. Let’s check ’em out: Exlibrium: Book One After I first caught a glimpse of some of […]
