The Hub for Indie Comics
Good evening, purveyors of powerful paraphernalia, and welcome to a new edition of indie comic exploration. Let me begin by apologizing. I know that Facebook fever has you sick with Top Ten-donitis. No, I’m not funny, but I am compassionate toward millennial attention spans and the fact that we’re losing to goldfish. So while we’re…
Welcome weird wunderkinder! How’s your creative genius treating you this morning? Mine has gone into hiding, thanks to the mental magnificence of Swiss illustrator, Jared Muralt. I had the pleasure of interviewing this tremendous talent and it was clear to me that the content of his character is as colorful, multifaceted and exceptional as his…
Welcome again, my friends, to another dashing dive into the depths of deplorable life choices. I’m your host, CXC staff writer Chris Hendricks, and today we’ll be talking about everyone’s favorite Green Goblin (and no, I’m not talking about James Franco), talking about money. Either way, money and art don’t always mix for reasons unbeknownst to…
We are over the moon today, having scored an interview with professional Comicbook creator Michael Lent. Most of you will know him as the writer behind the Marvel series “Prey”, and more recently, “i, HOLMES”, but his experience stretches across many entertainment genres from non-fiction literature to film and TV. Michael shares with us a…
BOB’s creator Lance was so excited about the upcoming launch, he couldn’t wait until the book was out to start cosplaying as one of its characters. Come on, what else would you do if you created your own comic book character?! Sure, it may have creeped out his neighbors, but his enthusiasm has given us…
For this day of ComixCentral Conversations, we take a bit of an unexpected turn! Today we bring you a newbie to the game. You see, we’re not just interested in how the experts get things done, but also the journey that all creators must undertake to get to “Level expert”. Indie comics are not about…
Well, we doubt the rest of responsible America will be much cheered, but for us personally, there’s at least one silver lining to Trump’s winning the election this year: our new comic isn’t going to seem so dated. When we began writing BOB: NON-UNION PSYCHIC # 1 last year, Trump hadn’t even clinched the…
Today we are thrilled to be joined by an inspiring comic creator who’s been making comics for “Longer than he’d like to admit”. But you know what? With great experience comes wise counsel, and awesome stories! John is the creative mind behind titles like Ayla - Speaker for the Dead, Joe Bushkin, Boxie and many,…
Daaamn ComixCentral! Back at it again with a killer Comic Creator interview! Today we are chatting with the hilarious and delightfully quirky minded Chad Colpitts. Chad is a huge advocate for people looking at butt cheeks as much as possible and we’re inclined to help him out! You simply can’t miss his iconic, laugh inducing…
In this saturated market, it’s easy to miss the little gems out there. One diamond you probably haven’t noticed in a vast sea of rough is BOB: NON-UNION PSYCHIC (“Renegade Psychic. Professional Hairstylist.”), a digital-first series published by Colorado-based newcomer Warehouse 9 Productions, Ltd. in 2015. The ad copy puts the hilarious, high-as-they-come concept as…
Oh ho ho! Do we have a treat for all you Comicbook lovin’ good people. We managed to corner the gents from Random Encounter Comics and shake them until all their secrets fell out. These guys are making some shockingly great stories, with some of the most unique art pages we’ve seen.. well.. anywhere! This…

The creator of Comics like, Black Hole Hunter’s Club, Deep Sea, Happily Ever Aftr and Co-host of Stadium Comic’s Unboxing Wednesday. Yes. We got him! So sit back, get yourself a cold…
This week we had the distinct honor of landing an interview with a true self-made Indie Comic Entrepreneur, Lance Lucero — owner and founder of Warehouse 9 Productions Ltd. Lance’s company publishes one of the most original comics we at ComixCentral have ever had the pleasure of reading, BOB: Non-Union Psychic. Not only is the illustration…
Hi, I’m Chris Hendricks, and I’ve never written a comic before. ( At the time this was written) Now that you’re aware of my expertise, we can move forward together. Up, up and away. I’ve always had a passion for writing, and heroes, not necessarily in that order. I never got into comics as a…
We’ve shown the cover, trailer, banners, and various other teasers of the new BOB: NON-UNION PSYCHIC #1 “The Legend of Legros” comic book, but that’s the finished glossy version. What really goes into making a book of this epic scale? Who are the movers and shakers behind such a mammoth production? And what do they…
I lived through Katrina. I’m not saying that in a boastful way. I didn’t live in the city, I was across the lake on the Northshore. My home had minimal damage. I didn’t lose any loved ones in the storm. There were a lot of people that had it a lot worse than I did…
I just got back from the Tennessee Comic Con. That’s the second convention I’ve been to since we’ve started posting pages for Ayla. So I think it’s time to talk about the language in Ayla. You know what I’m talking about. The swear words. A sidebar but important in the scheme of things. Anyone that…
There is an ending. Ayla is created to be an ongoing serial. But I’m writing the series in stories that stand by themselves. Each story will connect to the next one, much like a novel in an adventure or mystery thriller will feed off the ones before it. So each story will have a beginning…
Ayla’s title, actually her job description, Speaker for the Dead comes from the tv show Homicide: Life on the Street based on the non fiction book by David Simon. Simon went on to later create The Wire and Treme (which also has a connection with us as it told the story of New Orleans after…
There were two things driving me in the creation of this series at the start. First, there was the title “Speaker for the Dead.” (And yes I know all about the science fiction series by Orson Scott Card, a series I once loved but would rather not get into reasons for not loving it now.…
Here’s a fun fact the Warehouse 9 Productions team is kinda proud of: BOB: NON-UNION PSYCHIC # 1 ” The Legend of Legros” is a truly global production.
