I make no secret of the fact that I am a fan of superhero comics first and all other genres last. The words “comic book” to me always brings to mind the colorful characters of DC and Marvel. They are the modern mythology, and they are important. However, I am not blind to the myriad other genres that exist in the world of sequential art. Indifferent to it, perhaps, but blind to it, no. That’s why, when the opportunity presented itself to broaden my comic book horizons a bit, I took it. And how did opportunity present itself?
Why, as a sale of course. For the paltry sum of $22.00, I found myself in possession of a collection of 100 indy comics. I will review these comics and post my findings here, at The Ramapage. I hope it’s as fun to write as it will be to read.
This project has been in the works for some time, but I’ve just been too lazy to get it rolling. So, as punishment for me and a gift to you, there will be a review posted everyday for the next 5 days and then a double shot next Monday. Until then, I leave you with the title of the first comic to be reviewed: shot callerz
In 2007, a crack unit of comic nerds was exiled from the message board community by the court of popular opinion. These men promptly escaped into the blogosphere. Today, still unwanted by the community at large, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have an opinion, if no one else wants to hear it, and if you can find them, maybe you can join... The Rampage!
The Indy 100
