So What? Press marked it’s fifth year as an indie comics publisher this past fall. Their tent pole horror-noir series, Tales of the Night Watchman, is celebrating the release of their fifth issue with a signing at Forbidden Planet in New York this Saturday.

Anya Davidson's 'Band for Life' is one of the boldest graphic novels of the year, an eye splitting trip into the lives of am indie punk rock band and their misadventures.

"I haven’t even tried to watch Game of Thrones because I have heard that they keep killing people off, and I can’t stand that!
