Here's what the Grand Prize winner gets... so far!
There’s no two ways about it, Indy Comic Book Week was awesome. I enjoyed the hell out of the books I picked up. In fact, the only thing I didn’t like about Indy Comic Book Week was that it could only last seven days.
Or so you thought!
In cooperation with more than a dozen Indy creators, Ideology of Madness is thrilled to bring you the Indy Comic Book Week Sampler contest. One grand prize winner will receive one book from each of the participating creators, including some additional swag as well including an art print!
We’re also giving away a second and third prize as well.
The books we expect to include in the Grand Prize sampler include:
- ARMAGEDDONQUEST
- Arthur: The Legend Continues
- Dusk
- Ex Occultus: Badge of Langavat
- Life (With Friends)
- Macabro
- Omnitarium
- The Possum
- Senryu
- Solomon Azua
- Spy Guy
- Stolen Blood
- What Planet is This?
I can’t yet be specific on prizes until all of it arrives here at the Ideology of Madness Control Tower, so stay tuned for regular updates and details on each of the comics appearing in the sampler.
A lot of folks never got a chance to even see these book much less purchase them. This is a terrific opportunity. I want to win this contest! So cool!

I was hoping to check out Solomon Azua last week, but it wasn’t one of the indy titles they had for Indy Comic Book Week. In fact, looking at the list above, I see only one or two titles that they had in the store.
By the way, of the ones I picked up, Green Monk was the most awesome.

My interest in Indy Comic week was sparked by the kids (Hah, yes Ic all them kids even though I think I am younger) at S.G. studios, (Vinh-Luan Luu, Jake Ekiss, and Matthew Warlick in particular). So my interest is mostly invested in what they put out:
1. Solomon Azua (I follow both Vinh and Jake on DA and they’ve been posting teasers for months)
2. Senryu: I follow Matthew on Facbook and he has posted a few sneek peeks here and there.
My local comic store actually closed up for the Indy comic week. With the economy the way it is and the fact that the holidays landed right in between the owners decided to go on vacation.
For the ‘what would you like to see’ contest…
I really dug Senryu and off the top of my head, I’d like to see another Indy comic very much like it but in full color. Maybe something that involves five or six artists rather than just one. A true blend of personal spiritual exploration and mesmerizing comic art.
And if you want, you can add a signed copy of my 36 hour, In Dreams, to the prize list.
I did some reviews on several Indy Titles and I really liked “Arthur” and “The Horsemen” alot. I didn’t get to check out Solomon and a couple other Indy titles but I know they were probably really good. I saw a lot of great artwork in the titles and I think mosttitles had it’s little quirks but for the most part awesome comic. By participatig in this event I got a chance to learn a lot about the industry considering my very first comic ever released was “stolen blood”. Allthough it is a smaller mini comic the art work turned out really nice. It is a bit shy on story but the first issue is designed that way.
I hope yall enjoyed Indy Comic Book Week. If you haven’t purchased any of these comics go to my website at http://www.blacksnakestudios.com and go to Indy comic reviews. There is a list of Indy comics there with purchase information.
Thanks,

I loved the idea of Indy Comic Book Week! I wanted to take part in it, but didn’t really have anything new to distribute at the time. Hopefully they’ll do it again sometime =)
I’ve been hearing a lot about The Possum from my buds at Indie Spinner Rack, so I’d love to check that out!
Entering! I would like to see War of the Independents.

Having just read the entire Necessary Evil game book from Savage Worlds, I think the indy comic I’d like to see would be based on that setting and might even follow the plot points in it. It would then combine two of my great loves, comics and table top role playing games.
NE also has a feel very similar to the old Strikeforce: Morituri, a horribly underrated comic by Marvel from the late 80′s.

Does FIRST comics count as an indy? If so, I would love to see Dynamo Joe brought back. A manga influenced book from the early 80′s (before everything was manga influenced)with gorgeous artwork by Doug Rice. How can you beat giant robots?
