Is joining a major publisher the best path forward for independent comic creators, or does it mean giving up some of the creative freedom that makes indie comics special?
This week on Panel Chewing, Steve and Jarrod discuss White Ash Comics joining IDW as a new imprint and what the move could mean for independent publishing, distribution, and the future of creator-owned comics.
Then it's time for our weekly reviews! Steve returns to Absolute Batman and finds himself pleasantly surprised, while Jarrod praises Detective Comics and explores a disappointing trip back to the 1980s with Satanic Panic. We also discuss Denver, Groo: Prophecy, You'll Never Leave This Place Alive, Black Tower: The Raven Conspiracy, and Conan the Barbarian.
Our Picks of the Week:
Steve: Superman: The Stranger #1 — A compelling new interpretation of Superman that delivers the character development, atmosphere, and artwork Steve has been looking for.
Jarrod: Solomon Kane: The Lion Errant #4 — A dark and memorable conclusion to a Robert E. Howard adventure that explores warfare, supernatural forces, and the consequences of violence.
Finally, our Lone Wolf and Cub read-along continues with Volume 23: Tears of Ice.
As the confrontation between Ogami Itto and Yagyu Retsudo intensifies, we discuss the series' extraordinary artwork, its moral complexity, and whether following a strict code of honor makes someone a genuinely good person.
With only five volumes remaining, we're getting closer to the conclusion of this remarkable series.
You can join our Lone Wolf and Cub read-along through Libby or Hoopla, depending on your library's collection.
What was your Pick of the Week? Have you read Superman: The Stranger? And what should we read together after Lone Wolf and Cub?
