Every now and then a body of work comes along and gives you all the feels and laughs.

Point of Authority sits somewhere in between a dark version of Disney’s Incredibles and a light-hearted issue of the comic book Powersr; with its noir design and the foreboding undertones in the story.

Lumberjax has really good bones: solid character designs, a great concept and it’s funny to boot. Oh, and the artwork by Guida – chef’s kiss!  All the ingredients for a cult classic in the making. 

The idea of a superhero possibly using his/her powers to stop abuse in their home has locked me in as a reader.  Just imagine if Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben abused Aunt May!? What kind of hero would he have become?

I wish I had Jay-Z’s foresight to make this proclamation 12 months ago. If so, I would have warned all of my indie comics friends to, “flood the streets with content ‘cause Shobo Coker and Juni Ba are coming!”
