Howdy to all you Gatherers and Grand Geeks of the realm! I hope everyone is doing well out there and holding their own. I certainly am. Its starting to get lighter earlier and hints of warmth are breaking through this cold. Still though, until then I will gladly curl up before my bedside heater and warm up while enjoying some great indie books. Let’s see what looks good this week!

Chariot #1 (of 5)

Artist(s): Priscilla Petraites
Cover Artist(s): Jeff Dekal, Mike Deodato
Publisher: AWA-Upshot Studios
Synopsis: “The Chariot was a Cold War-era secret government project to provide its star agent with a weapon unlike any other in the form of a supercharged muscle car.

Now, a petty criminal looking to reform his life has stumbled upon the Chariot, and he’s about to find out that the agent’s consciousness is still controlling it in this synthwave thriller.”

It’s like James Bond and Michael Knight have chosen to combine forces in this miniseries thriller! Chariot is a Cold War-age contraption that has been found by a petty criminal in today’s world, only to find that it’s definitely no piece of junk!
