Time for another #indiecomicreview! One of our fans/listeners/watchers was rather tenacious in getting us to review his new comic (Oct. '23) - Blowtorch Bad Roads from Page1 Comics! Thank you for being persistent! Blowtorch Bad Road's first issue is a great entry into a gritty, John Wick-esque type of comic! This black-and-white issue has some really great artistry and the b/w nature really fits with this story. The cover is truly well done and an eye-catcher! We won't give much away here -- just get your hands on it! Looking forward to the next issue! Description: Blowtorch Bad Roads is the b ..read more

We had the awesome opportunity to visit with and interview Chiral Comic's creator Kang Jing (KJ) and co-writer/editor Api Ngo  @ThatChineseHistoryGuy  (on YouTube) all the way from Singapore! Interviewing at the same time - but technically on different days - was similar to time-travel -- or something else conceptually trippy. We had a blast learning about wuxia (which literally means "martial arts and chivalry," is a genre of Chinese fiction concerning the adventures of martial artists in ancient China) and how this dynamic duo ended up working together! We hope you enjoy learning a ..read more

We had the incredible opportunity to interview #indiecomic creator, Laurie Calcaterra, creator of Path of the Pale Rider, late last year and while this interview is a bit longer than most, it's well worth it! Path of the Pale Rider was truly delightful to get into and we cannot recommend this series enough! We were lucky enough to read issues 1-3, and this comic has extremely high potential for a BIG future in our humble opinion. This fresh take on the "zombie apocalypse" genre is an emotional and relateable ride! Not just a comic, POTPR has riddles, short films, and a choose-your-own-adventur ..read more

We had the pleasure of reviewing Hunt. Kill. Repeat. from  @madcavestudios  and Mark London recently. This comic was truly well done. We were all caught up in this story that delves into a time when the Greek Gods have come to the land of man to wreak havoc and teach the technology-loving humans a lesson about who to worship. While the story doesn't fit neatly into a better-known Greek myth, the creators did a fantastic job of weaving in traditional Greek mythology beats with their unique take on the ongoing battle between Gods and humans. Let us know what you think in the comments ..read more
