The last few year’s have seen more and more quality titles being released week after week and a flood of new TV shows & Movies based on some of the best creations…..but overshadowing that success (at least for me) has been the quality of small press titles on offer in the UK and beyond.

I reviewed issue #1 of Gordon McLean’s No More Heroes a few months back – and it kicked ass, but now issue #2 is here and guess what? It kicks even more ass. If there’s one indie title you should be reading, it’s this (ok so maybe this AND The Standard – treat yourself!). It’s not very often that I await the release of a specific small press book, resigning myself more to an “if and when” scenario, but at this year’s Kapow! this book was top of my list to pick up.

Here at Comics Anonymous we love our DCs and Marvels of the world, but most of all we love a well made comic. With the big two and others churning out so many books a month, you could argue that too many cooks spoil the broth, which is why we particularly enjoy the other side of the fence, the small press, where just as much effort has gone into making a book, but perhaps with fewer people and certainly less money. It’s always nice to see when all of that effort pays off and leads to something great, which it certainly has for local boy Gordon McClean, writer of small press title No More Heroes. The book has had a fair bit of attention in the last week or so, but not for some of the reasons you might normally associate with an indie comic.

Didn’t make it to Thought Bubble this year? Fear not, the CA team have almost recovered from a busy weekend down in Leeds attending this year’s Comic Convention, and are busy away in the background getting all of our coverage put together. Here’s a little sneak peak at what we have in store over the next week or so:
