We’re picking our favorite indie titles and creators from yesteryear and today…and even looking at what elements make up the perfect indie comic book for each one of our co-hosts. From creator-owned to artistic team, self-published to non-Big Two publisher, color to black-and-white, and slice-of-life to plot-driven, it’s time to go full indie! (01:59:01)
