Making a comeback after a long hiatus, it’s my Indie Comic Review Segment! A lot has changed as you know: the ComicBookBoom Blog being no more, putting myself out there as a writer and working on my first full length issue. All this to say that another thing that’s changed is my perspective, especially when it comes to indie comics and the creators behind them. Back then I was wildly critical and unfair at times, having not taken the time to appreciate the astronomical effort required to write and produce a full fledged issue. When you’re indie…you are independent. As in, on your own island putting sweat, blood and tears into making these books. I cringe at most of my old reviews, having failed to give proper kudos to the creators. I’ll do better. That being said...I’d like to give my first kudos to Derek W. Lipscomb for his enormously ambitious work, The Maroon. Not only has he generated multiple full length issues (14!), he’s done a majority of the work by himself. Writing and illustration, the bulk of work with any comic endeavor. He is supported by the editorial team of Brian & Rose Coles. I applaud Derek for maintaining this passion for a multiple issue run. Meanwhile, I’m sweating over the script of a single issue.
