Indy Rampage

Jason Rodriguez, an editor for Hoarse and Buggy Productions explains why you should support independent comics.

More importantly, he points out the best way to support the indies:

There’s a popular misconception that supporting indy comics means never talking bad about them and buying everything ever made by every company and individual that scraped together some money to make a book. That’s wrong. That’s actually hurting indy comics. If you support everyone with a book, you’re saturating the market and making it more difficult for books of merit to break out of the crowd and actually start to make money. A lot of guys have just one shot and a great book and sometimes it’s tough to pick them out of all the noise.

Supporting indy comics means buying the small press books you like.

I've pointed out a few non-Marvel-or-DC titles I like but not as many as I'd like to. I'm going to bring more of those up in the future. I expect I'll pick up a few indy titles at Dragon*Con that I wouldn't have seen before and I'm headed to my FLCS today where I'll scout out some more.
