I think Indie books are books that aren't really talked about much. [For Marvel] Ant-Man i think would be Indie, Ms. Marvel i think would be also.

Also I'd like to say that was an awesome show. The Stack is my fav on Pulp Secret.

THE STACK = THE BEST SHOW HERE nice job guys hahahahhaa wow i didnt think the could make her boobs bigger than that hahahahahahahaha thats crazy!!

I agree with pete on the boob issue. i don't embarrass easily but reading comics in public is one thing. reading what looks like drawn porn is another.

Thanks for another great show guys.

Hey guys, I always thought indie meant the comic was published independently by the creator or by an independent publisher. Maybe the term has grown from this and now refers to a specific genre of comics (like the indie genre of music) but when I think of indie comics I tend to think of goofier stuff rather than drama titles.

Stuff like SCUD and TMNT, that's what I think of when I think "indie".

More like THE RACK, am I rite ???? Good episode guys, I lol'ed at the excessive cleaaave.

I like that the reviews are getting more on the comics than on the jokes. Not that the jokes are bad, but sometimes, especially in the case of Ant-Man, it derails from the point, which sucks because most of the time there are interesting things to be said of the titles. I did find the Indy vs Mainstream arguement interesting.

Indie definitely has to do with Publisher.

You can have an Indie super hero comic (Nexus), but Marvel's last attempt at Indie would be New Universe maybe... and who misses that?

By the way, I bought Endangered Species at a comic shop on a lark and it made me feel like I'd been had... which should never happen.

I think Indy used to be defined as small press, or small financed. Generally a project that the writer drums up the financing for. Just like films. But just like films now, indy has taken on both a larger and smaller form than it was formerly known. With the internet you can bring your distribution costs down to near zero, and still hit a massive audience, potentially. And then there is the big indy, like Dark Horse comics, or a Mel Gibson film that though technically independent is still backed by massive financial resources. I like to think of Indy now as more of a style rather than the financial definition it used to be. Its like the judge said about pornography "I cant define it, but I know it when I see it!".

Good point, footsore. I would also throw in there some notion of creator ownership. That the work is wholly controlled by the creators, or have a majority stake it in, as opposed to work for hire.
