Hello Gatherers and Grand Geeks aplenty out there! I hope everyone is doing well and continuing to live the fandom life. I know I sure am. Today I plan on enjoying some much needed time to myself by enjoying some comics and tabletop roleplaying games. A good cup of coffee or two and some quality time hanging with family. But before I do so, let’s see what looks good this week in the indie comics world!

But when fighting monsters works up a serious sweat, there’s no stopping the funk from flying!”

Sometimes it pays to be the hero in midst of an undead apocalypse. But when the heroism comes as a result of one’s armpit sweat glands, is it really worth it?!

And there we have it for the week, folks! Stories of stinky bioweapons of apocalyptic proportions combined with speedsters arising from experimental weight-loss drugs. These kinds of stories and others are available at the mere click of a button on your keyboards or at the touch of a screen on your phones and/or tablets. But since many of you are supporters of local business, I encourage you to head down to your comic shop this Wednesday to pick up the hardcopy issues themselves. Read on and share with your friends. Start a conversation and be sure to leave a comment or two. But most importantly, remember…GGG!
