How about that Denali?

After hearing Jay Faerber's interview on Word Balloon, his pitch piqued my interest.



Preview Here.

Faerber pitched it as a sort of one-shot (currently) Kamandi with a female lead.

It reminds me of a mix of Thundarr The Barbarian (don't you see it?) and Campbell/Keatinge's Glory (strong female lead that isn't a lingerie model).

Sadly it's a digital only book, and comics on my Android phone - well, it's not the optimal reading experience.

It's 99¢ and 11 pages. Hopefully they'll continue with the story, and down the road Kickstart or find a means of getting it into print so I can fully enjoy the page layouts and composition of the pages.

Faerber is becoming the one-shot king for me. He does brilliant single issue stories that leave me wanting more, but I end up with funnybook blueballs for lack of more output. See also, Urban Myths (read it online for free why don't ya?  ) from Top Cow's Pilot Season.

In a perfect world I'd be reading more of both of these books.

I like the image.

I'm not yet on board with buying digital, but maybe one day.

It's my first digital comic. I'm with you on this Bob. There are too many niggling little issues that keep me from going whole hog into digital comics; but digital only left me with no choice.

I want to see this in print at some point. In my crazy perfect world digital comics would be the low cost means of creators getting their work completed and released, and then they'd print them up in a graphic novel for guys like us who like to kick back with a book in hand.

I'm not fighting against digital, and I can see a time when comics and guys like us are the people who buy albums on vinyl at boutique music shops. Only it will be bin diving for Jose Luis Garcia Lopez run on Atari Force and not Culture Club's first album on vinyl (maybe a bad analogy, JLGL is top tier - but Atari Force is some Culture Club tier property).

Agreed.  I've checked out many cool web-comics in the past but just fade away from keeping up with them.   I buy the printed collections when they come out, though (BattlePug, FreakAngels, etc.)
