Superstar doesn’t even come close to encapsulate the guest creator for this episode. Since his last appearance in the tiger den, Tony Fleecs has been nothing short of a force of nature within the cultural spectrum and now he’s back! And we’re all better for it.Coming off the massively successful “Stray Dogs” from Image Comics, Tony is hitting the shelves with two beautifully-wild creator owned series: “Uncanny Valley” from Boom Studios and “Feral” from Image Comics.In a familiar vein to its predecessor, Stray Dogs, “Feral” softens your guard with that Don Bluth styling before sucking you down into the darkness of mystery and horror. It brings a bit of zest into a genre that sometimes becomes a bit structurally predictable within the comic medium. This time around the emphasis is cats. As a trio of indoor felines get stuck in the wilds of the outdoors . Already underprepared and overwhelmed things only escalate due to a rabies outbreak. American Tale meets Walking dead? Count BTR in! One of the beloved elements of the series is the continuation of variant covers paying homage to cult classic horror film posters and VHS covers. Not only proven to be a marketing success, but has quickly become a fan-favorite tradition with Fleecs’ pet-thrillers at Image.Tony’s other creator own project that is taking to the shelves alongside “Feral” is “Uncanny Valley.” And what a perfect name for such a unique and bold concept. If unfamiliar with the 70’s hypothesis; “Uncanny Valley” is a proposed phenomenon theorizing the relation between the human likeness of an object and a viewer’s affinity toward it.Imagine you’re a kid… a kid that just doesn’t quite fit in. Constantly haunted by the sensation, even visions, that you are different. It’s a feeling that most of us, as people, experienced at some point in our youth. Then one day an unintroduced family member shows up; say it’s your grandpa. Only he’s a 2d cartoon character resembling Yosemite Sam and yeah, you are apart of something greater than you could of ever thought.The concept is bold and it works seamlessly. With variations in art styling, the reader is very quickly immersed into this very real world with very real people. So even when the cartoon surreal is interjected it’s not only shocking and intriguing the high stakes still remain. It’s brilliant in concept and execution. I can only imagine a film/tv deal is in the near future for “Uncanny Valley.”On top of the this Tony has other projects that are sharing space on the shelves; the on going series “Local Man” from Image Comics and a new Army of Darkness series “Forever” from Dynamite. It’s the summer of FLEECS, so get to your local comic shop and celebrate his creative power! -T A note: The “NOW” is the resurgence of the independent creator through crowd sourcing and self-publishing availability.

Coming in at over 100 pages and featuring a wide collection of creators from all over the world of various stylings. “The Complete Points of Villainy” is perfectly curtailed for the readers of slice-of-life mystery and the paranormally bizarre.

The Revenge Crew joins up with the main man over at Critical Entertainment for his ancient quest across the ever changing lands of indie comics!Writer, publisher, and over all nice guy, Chris Reda breaks down his new line of comics and graphic novels that are gracing the shelves of shops across the North America. Based in the cinematic dreamland of L.A., California. Chris, along with with his partner in print Mason Mendoza, founded Critical Entertainment to bring their own unique stories to the printed page. Bucking the all too usual restrictions of traditional production ( for context, the usual floppy issue rolls in conservatively at a monthly 22 page release that’s formatted in a standard print size), Critical Entertainment lets the story dictate the print needs of the individual story. Bold and dynamic, it offers readers something a bit different to find on the shelves. Their silent sci-fi epic “Space Dragon” might be one of the boldest examples of this refreshing approach. At a 115 pages, this trade measures in at 7.5" x 12" and is glorious. How else should a planet-sized intergalactic swimming dragon be experienced on the page!Continuing with their fresh approach, Reda is writing a series that’s being illustrated by the very voice you’re reading now. That’s right it’s me, Tadd (always remember, never forget)! “The First Americans” is a title that explores a genre that is mostly unique for todays pop-pubs of capes, sci-fi dramas, and life-slices. As speculative fiction, “First Americans” is the journey of a hunter at the tail end of the ice age some 14 thousand years ago. Who parts with his peoples and the fierce woman of his heart, to track a mammoth and its small herd. Taking him from the eastern Steppe of Siberia, through the gateway of Beringia, and into the new lands of the Americas. It’s an exploration of the human spirit, always pushing toward the beyond of the horizon. The emboldened hunter encounters megafauna, natural elements, and looks into the depths of his own soul as he trudges deeper through vast unknown wilderness. Ambitious in story and execution. As the artist, I changed up my approach and tackle a different style to best fit our storytelling, referencing a master of historical fiction and ink composition, Serio Toppi. While Reda takes an equally unique approach. Letting the story dictate the page count, freeing the flow of physical print limitations. Each chapter comes in thicker than the usual newsstand floppy, and as a quarterly release to boast, throughout the next two years. First Americans, has been a long time coming and now it finally breaks through the ice and into local comic shops next week, March 27th. Or if you need to start the journey now visit Critical Entertainment site to get “First Americans” and their numerous other titles!A note from Tadd: The “NOW” is the resurgence of the independent creator through crowd sourcing and self-publishing availability.
