Jace and Rocky chat about some of the Indie titles they have read for the week of February 26, 2025. Radiant Black returns with a great jumping on point for new readers, but returning fans will have a lot to unpack also with consequences from the Catalyst War heavy on Marshall's mind. Also Department of Truth returns to its current day storyline with loyalties and motivations on the minds of, seemingly, everyone. Kill Train is back with its second issue and it is laugh-out-loud satirical fun. Seasons #2 gives us a glimpse into each sister and her specific demeanor, which sort of match up with their names. Dust to Dust continues to be the best illustrated book on the stands and the slow burn tension is still building. Vicarious comes to a satisfying conclusion while Pop Kill is just getting started.

Having only her dead father's robot bodyguard by her side Annalise has a chance to live a normal life for the first time.

Gotta read it to find out!

Plus hints of the rogues, and a tease for what's to come for young Wallace West as he comes to terms with his new abilities.
