The Majors Go Indie
|
This month its an annual tribute to comics’ independent spirit; and it’s the publishers, writers, artists, and designers, and the wonderful and unique comics and graphic novels which they produce that embody the Indie Edge.
The Majors Go Indie!
Having the “Indie Edge” doesn’t necessarily mean that cool stuff is produced solely in small studios by one or two people. Sometimes, even the biggest publishers can embrace the Indie spirit and produce works of fiction that are both cutting edge and not necessarily for your average readers. Check out these great titles from our Premier publishers for their own unique takes on the Indie spirit.

Stuck in a dead-end job with a boss he can’t stand and a materialistic girlfriend, Sam rises from a late night of barhopping to discover his whole world has changed. Literally. An avian flu outbreak has killed millions, the nation’s infrastructure has crashed and a dirty bomb has destroyed Seattle. Forced to go on the run, Sam awakes to a normal world the next day – and to chaos again the day after that. A single constant between the two worlds will undo all the damage, if he can find it – but that seems impossible. In one world, anything goes. Mature Readers.
