Another day, another dollar, another chance to spend money on all your favorite indie comic books... or something like that.

After a 2-week bender in South Korea (don't look at me, I didn't stir up this recent war mongering), we've returned with a new perspective on the latest comics. We're far less forgiving in our reviews, a bit more hungover, and generally dickish... but that's not the worst thing to ever happen, is it?

In any case, let's get down to the grit, the nit, the dirty bits... the Top 5 Indie Comics of the Week.

Robyn Hood vs. Red Riding Hood

Overall, Robyn Hood vs. Red Riding Hood delivers exactly what we want to see, an epic showdown between the two. The writing is great, as is the pacing. Don't think it's an empty crossover or cash-in, it's a quality comic that new and old readers will enjoy. It's definitely the best Zenescope comic I've read. I'll be looking forward to Wanted and hopefully they'll give Red Riding Hood a new series too.

Bedlam #6

Riley Rossmo's art is phenomenal as always. Each line and pose deliberate an adding to the tone and atmosphere of the book. The battle between the Vigilante & Eric has no dialogue which allows the art to shine more. The fight is brutal and visceral, with neither of them letting up, it's a pretty bloody affair and it's amazing to look at. The colors are murky and moody, adding to the dark tone of the series.

Snapshot #3

Andy Diggle knows how to write action. Snapshot has sped along at break-neck clip not only in its psychical action but reveals and plot twists. Issue three has Jake and Callie trapped in Keller’s crime camp and what they stumble upon is another twist and a major blow to Callie’s rapidly unraveling reality. Jake now feels like a character that has lost all he can without losing his will to live or clear his name of murder.

Miss Fury, or Marla Drake, is a very wealthy woman of superior confidence. With money, a score to settle, and an alter ego to boot she’s out to save the world from one of the greatest horrors of humanity’s past.

'68: Jungle Jim #1

This isn’t a story for everyone and certainly not for the squeamish. What I see as mostly action many will see has horror and make no mistake there’s plenty of it. But the struggle of Private Curliss’ cross to bear and the hope of salvation from not only the Vietnam war but a Vietnam/Zombie apocalypse makes this much more of a well-rounded story than one of just a one-man killing machine in a gas mask.
