Alrighty gang, this will be the first Indie Side series preview/review. There are a lot of great books and comic creators that I would love to talk about. So believe me, this was not an easy choice to make. I've had new books from a ton my favorites (actually a little back logged on my reading), and there is just so much that I would love to share...but I have narrowed my focus, looked at some things, had a few conversations with myself over what I want to do...no straight jackets for me just yet...and decided to go diving deep into the indie pool to bring to you Damage Inc, by James Burton.
A little info on James from his bio for your perusal:
"My work includes editorial magazine illustrator, Storyboard and Conceptual Artist. The Pencils, inks, and lettering for multiple issues for Vampire of the Lost Highway. I am the artist/Co-creator for the art award winning horror series Inheritance. Cover Artist for Nationally distributed Knights of the Dinner Table, and most importantly I am a Father, a Husband and a Level 4 Cancer Survivor."
I don't know him personally, but from my interactions with him on Kickstarter, I can tell you that he is probably one of the nicest and most humble of the various comics creators that I have interacted with. I told him my criticisms and likes with the books, and he came back with a positive response to everything I said. He even took some time to respond to some small talk, which was pretty cool of him. So without further fanfare or adieu, lets talk a little about his Damage Inc series=)
The Premise:
The Breakdown
The Bang for Your Buck
The Interview
In Closing
All in all, Damage Inc get's two thumbs up as far as I am concerned.
I appreciated that nostalgic feel I got from reading the books. Plus it has an interesting cast of characters and a fun story to boot. Add to that, James is good guy from what I know of him, and I would love to see this series continued. So go check it out and let me know what you think!
For more Indie Side, just keep an eye on the tracker thread!
