    10/24/2025

    Best Indie Comics for Big Two Readers with Glenn Matchett

    This week, Joe talks with his friend Glenn about the best indie comics for big two readers. These are comics from publishers like Image, Boom! Studios and Dark Horse that would be good gateway series for readers who have primarily read comics from Marvel and DC. It also sparked an interesting conversation about accessibility in comics, and how intimidating it can be to venture out beyond the "big two" comic publishers.

    Kickstarter Conversation: Christof Bogacs, David Hazan and Phil Appley on Requiem #1-3

    This week, Joe talks with the creative trio of Christof Bogacs (co-writer), David Hazan (co-writer) and Phil Appley (artist) about the first three issues of their horrific sci-fi thriller, Requiem. I loved the first two issues of Requiem, described as a sci-fi horror murder mystery for fans of Alien: Earth, The Expanse, Dead Space and Event Horizon, and I'm excited to see where it goes next. Christof, David and Phil are great creators that have collectively worked across DC, Image, Boom!, Oni, Mad Cave and more, including various Kickstarter projects, and I really hope that this series gets to continue. The campaign for Requiem #1-3 is live on Kickstarter until 6th November at kickstarter.com/projects/christofbogacs/requiem-1-3-hard-sci-fi-collides-with-psychological-horror. Requiem really needs and deserves your support, so please go back the campaign if you can. Projects like this won't happen without your support. It's vital to their success.
