[WOLVERINE25TH]

Dave Sim's Cerebus has just been added to the war. This looks like it might be hot.

 

[Darthphere]

It looks stupid.

 

[Phoney Bone]

I'd probably be more excited if I knew who more than 5 of the characters were.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Hell, I don't know more than 2 or 3 myself, but I talked with the guy puttin' it together an' it sounds like a good idea. Gonna hafta see how the execution is handled.

 

[FrogMan]

I might be getting my character in this.

Might!

Keep your fingers crossed.

 

[Manic]

I have no idea who any of those people are. I'd be more interested if it was a war of characters like Invincible, Spawn, Usagi Yojimbo, Hellboy, Witchblade, the Ninja Turtles, or someone remotely popular-yet-independent.

Or maybe I'm just too stuck in the bourgeois mainstream world.

 

[FrogMan]

Usagi Yojimbo will be in War of the Independents. There are actually quite a few of the more popular indie guys in this.

The Maxx for one. Flaming Carrot, Captain Canuck, the Badger, Cerebus, Image's Shadowhawk, Shi.
