Each week on Indie Comic Spotlight Tony Farina of DC Comics News will be joined by other comic aficionados to do a deep dive into a series or standalone graphic novel from any publisher other than the big two.

Today, Tony is joined by DC Comics News and Dark Knight News owner Damian Fasciani.

Damian explains that he is “the proud owner and Managing Director of leading fan sites, DC Comics News and Dark Knight News. Our staff make us truely great! A technologist at heart who works out every day, has a huge amount of Spotify playlists, loves Aussie Rules Football, and have a lot of Batman shirts! Yes, I love the Batman and Green Arrow. My Children are my world! Love them with everything I have.”

On this week’s show we cover the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an American comic book by Mirage Studios released at the New Hampshire comic con1984. Originally conceived by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird as a one-off parody, the comic's popularity has gone on to inspire a major pop culture franchise, including television series, five feature films, numerous video games and a wide range of toys and merchandise. The Turtles have moved from Mirage to Image, back to Mirage and now find a home at IDW. We are breaking protocol a bit this week because Damian is such a DC super fan. Because this is an indie show, the thing that made the most sense was to invite him on for a cross over so this week we spend a lot of time talking about the first TMNT/Batman crossover.

If you want to talk with Tony about comics or to suggest any future shows, please connect with him on Twitter @Tricycleboombox. You can read his reviews of multiple Independent and DC comics at DC Comics News. You can find him online and send him messages at https://www.arfarina.com/
