Ever wanted one of your favorite artists to draw a character you created? Well it's happened to me and I couldn't be happier. Check out Matteo Scalera's sketch of my Gaslight protagonist Alisdair Keyes.
Im back!! and I have now got a pair of websites!! check em out!! 
This little gem is a collection of many of comics great indie creators having some incredible fun with Marvels well known heroes.
I won't ruin the stories but I shall point out a few of my favourites.
Tony Millionaire creator of Sock Monkey does a hilarious Iron Man tale where he faces some meat-headed (literaly) foes. He sticks to his usual wacky humour roots and it works well even with such a rigid character like Iron Man that has become very serious these days.
Another one that blew me away and was just a pleasure to see being a huge fan anyway was Jhonen Vaquez's M.O.D.O.K. 'N' Me. Being largely absent from releasing new content in comics for a while it was nice to see him pick up his pencil and give us a new slice of sick humour and it was all improved by involving M.O.D.O.K., who is in my opinion criminally underrated.
The last one I shall give my full opinion on is Matt Kindt's Black Widow story. Unlike many others in the collection this one uses far less humour and it is just as strong for it. It is a nice slice of indie espionage. I could easily see this kind of story in mainstream comics. The art not so much but I would like to but it is not the normal style of art and the public can be quite picky.
Other artists that graced this issue with thier talent were: Peter Bagge, Johnathan Hickman, Nick Bertozzi, Jacob Chabot, Jim Rugg, Max Cannon and R. Kikuo Johnson
That's my younger brother's Bat-signal pumpkin.
I wish I'd taken more pictures, but it's too late now, my brother and I spent a glee-filled ten minutes or so, throwing our pumpkins around the garden this morning. There aren't many things that are as awesome as hurling a pumpkin up in the air and then watching it splat upon the ground...
One of my favourite independent comics has to be Dragon Heir from the lovely people at Sweatdrop Studios. www.sweatdrop.com.
The first five issues were released many years ago, and now Emma has decided that she is going to re draw, and in some cases rewrite sections of the original story. I love the story as it stands, but I have had a look at the first two chapters now available on Emma's blog, and they are well worth having a look/read. Immediately I was blown away by the first page. Buildings and backgrounds have now been added to the fantastic character design, and it really fleshes out the world that the story is set in, and this is seen throughout the first two chapters. People who read the original series (the original single issues) will notice that the characters have been completely redrawn, and when you compare the two images you can really see how far Emma has come as an artist. It just goes to show what can come of hard work and practise. Dragon heir: Reborn proves this in spades and I highly recommend old and new fans alike to check out this outstanding piece of work out. Dragon Heir: Reborn is available as a webcomic so all you have to do is click the link below, click on the cover image, and then read away.
