The comic book market is an endless source of imagination, but as those in this forum know, it's main source of attention are the mainstream super hero books. This is an experiment to help spread the word of independent titles that most others might be afraid of looking at. We all know that investing in an independent title is pretty much like playing the lottery. You go in blind, take your pick, and hope it's the one that leads to better things.
These titles have been solicited in the June issue of Previews and are my personal suggestions. They are listed under their publisher's name, and have their page number next to them, showing where inside the catalogue one can find them for a synopsis. If anyone has any other titles they would like for others to consider, please add on, and if one believes that some of these titles are going to be something special, they may even warrant their own thread on the Independents forum. There are new characters and creators waiting to be discovered.
Please, support the independent art form. Thank you.
