Comic Book Review: Outside the Lines REDUX

Art and Stories by Joe Badon

A collection of art and short stories by Joe Badon.

I really liked this book as you are able to see many pieces of art by Joe Badon and you are able to order the art from his Etsy shop as well.  The pictures feature classic iconic figures done in Badon's signature style.  The Planet Terror inspired print and the Frankenstein print were two of my favorites.

The short stories were fun.  I especially enjoyed "The Rocketeer" story that featured Betty Page and Commando Cody.  The four page short, "Man vs. Machine?" is also a part of this collection.  A series of "Odds and Ends" single panel comics were very funny and found at the end of this book.  You can also check out Joe Badon's portfolio here.

I received this book in the Indy Stash subscription box and you can read the review of the entire box here.

Comic Book Review: Terra Kaiju - Rampaging Monster Comics

Story and Art by Joe Badon

A giant protector reflects on how he came to be and faces tough choice.

Joe Badon put together a pretty cool monster book with Terra Kaiju.  The story takes place during a battle with an enormous dragon but contains many flashbacks throughout to explain how this battle came to be and where our terracotta giant came from.  I saw the style of book and I was wondering if it was going to read backwards like many anime books.  It read as most American books however and the book is in the thick of the action and keeps going from there.  The end ties off well with a lesson learned.

I really like Joe Badon's art style.  It flows well and fits the story being told.  I received a few books where he lends his artistic talent from the Indy Stash subscription box(a review of the box can be viewed here).  This book has a $4.99 price tag on it, which I know I normally would have something negative to say, but I know there can be costs involved for the creators when it comes to the independent type of publishing.  With that said, support art!
