Wow, so where do we start?! This last month has been such a hectic time here at IndieReview. We had some security attacks happening to the site, but they were very minor and all is sorted now! We did a complete upgrade to newer software to ensure that those vulnerabilities were fixed and nothing like that will ever happen again here. At the same time we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to bring the site to a more mature stage. We understand we have gotten trigger happy in the past, and realised it was time to get back to basics and let the site do what it does best, spread the word about UK Indie Comics and their creators.
As you can see we are focussing on sharp dynamic content with lots of great images and up to date news from the World of comics. We have introduced a 5 star rating system to let people know what we think of a comic straight away. We are also continuing with out webcomics features with Vicki Paull, as I'm sure you'll agree she's doing a fantastic job at dissecting the webcomics community! (psst..

Jas Wilsons Smuggling Vacation comic book has hit the stores. The end product of a 2 year collaboration between convicted hashish smuggler Tony Spencer and ex-animator Jas Wilson, Smuggling vacation isn't your typical comic book! The blurb goes something like this..
It’s Great Britain, 2008. Two decades of high taxation and social erosion have created the richest black market in Europe.
Over a thousand criminal gangs operate thriving businesses in the drugs trade that inspires, intimidates and corrupts anyone who moves too close.
In the south of Spain, one late summer’s evening, one young man is about to get too close…
