Meet The I LOVE THE INDIES Gang

Putting our spin on shows like Best Week Ever and I Love The 80’s, I LOVE THE INDIES rounds up some of our favorite indie comic creators to have their characters comment on the latest comic & entertainment news.

THE CREATORS

Jimmie Robinson (Bomb Queen), Michael Davis (Code), Ralph Tedesco (Dr. Sela Mathers from Grimm Fairy Tales), Rob Reilly (Rob Reilly from Convention Confessional), Brandon Shultz (Skrap from Blokhedz), and Matt Bergin (Snake & Lou from Division 18).

THE CHARACTERS

BOMB QUEEN is a super villain who controls an east coast city with deadly force, yet her citizens love her for it. Crime is legal, but only within the city limits as agreed with the government. [www.comicspace.com/jimmykitty/]

CODE (the only name he knows) woke up one morning in a luxury apartment with no memory of his past. No memory of his past but an awareness of incredible physical abilities and resources. Having these abilities and resources gives him little reprieve from what else he knew — that until he defeated evil in the form of Steven Dark he would face a daily torment and the possible lost of his soul.

DR. SELA MATHERS is a literature professor who specializes in Fairy Tales and Fables. Sela in fact posseses the ability to transport others into an alternate Fairy Tale World where her usually unwilling participants must make choices that will drastically affect their lives. And in many instances, when one doesn’t heed Sela’s guidance, that person probably won’t be living happily ever after. You can learn more about Sela and her Grimm Fairy Tales at [www.zenescope.com ]

ROB REILLY is a self-loathing, self-published comic artist struggling to get ahead in the industry. You’ll be him someday. [www.skatoonproductions.blogspot.com]

SKRAP (aka skarzy, aka what you lookin at!) is the joke cracking, 5 foot bodyguard of Empire city’s most gifted emcee, Young Blak. Crew affiliation: G-pak. Weapon: razor blade (tucked in his mouth). Book: BLOKHEDZ! [www.blokhedz.tv]

Members of River City’s notorious costumed entertainers union, SNAKE & LOU walk the fine line between Sesame Street-style showmanship and Sopranos-style showdowns. These goons are so shady they’d perform at your child’s bar mitzvah and then shake the kid down for a cut of his gift purse. Catch up with Snake, Lou, and the rest of their crew in “Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers” #1, by Matt Bergin and Jeremy Donelson, coming soon from Silent Devil. And in the meantime, check out a preview of their antics at www.division18.com.
