Update: Wed, Jan. 30th, 2008: After reviewing my submission, Diamond won't solicite the War of the Independents unless they recieve sign permision forms from all of the creators. This, of course will delay the release, unfortunately.
Update: Friday, Jan. 18th, 2008: Bob Burden has given the thumbs up for The Flaming Carrot to the War of the Independents. Look for him in issue #3!!
Update: Thursday, Jan. 17th, 2008: Ethan Van Sciver has given the thumbs up for his Cyberfrog to take part in the War of the Independents! Look for Cyberfrog in issue #3!
Update: Sunday, Jan. 13th, 2008: Stanley Sakai has generously included Usagi Yojimbo to the War. Keep an eye out for a possible cover from him on issue 3 as well as Usagi Yojimbo in that issue.
Update: Friday, Dec. 7th, 2007: War of the Independents #1, coming out July 2008 will have 3 variant covers. Two normal covers, one done by myself and the other by Anthony Castrillo. There will be a Rare "Chase" cover done by Amanda Conner featuring her creation The Pro with various others, in I'm sure a compromising situation! lol
Update: Tuesday, Dec. 4rd, 2007: SCUD THE DISPOSABLE ASSASSIN (Rob Schrab) has also gotten back to me about having Scud appear which is fantastic! Rob has been a long time staple in the indie field (and apparently really hard to get a hold of, lol)
Update: Monday, Dec. 3rd, 2007: The incomparable Evan Dorkin has thrown in Milk and Cheese to the fray of the War. I had contacted Evan when I began putting together this project and we spoke briefly about it at last years MoCCA. Milk and Cheese will make an phenomenal addition to issue 3 which will be a comedic issue consisting of Zippy the Pinhead Clown, Too Much Coffee Man, Cerebus, Bone, Milk and Cheese as well as a few other light-hearted characters.
War of the Independents will be an ongoing series coming out July 2008. The first 6 issues will be the biggest independent crossover ever and continue and a hub for the Independent Universe!!
