Independent comics have been a mainstay in my life for decades now. One of the best parts of this gig is access to so much indie work in addition to the mainstream companies. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: the indie books are filled with love and created with passion. Lords Of The Cosmos #1 is certainly all that and more. I love that it was a successful Kickstarter campaign; it shows that I’m not alone in my excitement for this comic book.

Ugli Studios Presents #1 is an anthology comic that features two VERY different stories, both by the same creative team. I have to admit, I’m not familiar with any of these creators, but hey, I was willing to give them the old college try.
Writers Jason Lenox and David Paul crank out two different stories. One is interesting, the other, I’m afraid, isn’t that great. The first story is an entertaining Army of Darkness style tale with a unique twist. It’s enjoyable enough, but suffers from a lack of proper explanation. It’s got some good action, but there are times that you’ll have no clue who’s who and what’s going on. The second story, is disappointing. It’s a Twilight Zone kind of tale, except that you’ll probably see the ending coming about a mile away, as I did. It’s a sci-fi adventure but strangely, there’s very little sci-fi elements to it.
