This week, Joe talks with his friend Glenn about the best indie comics for big two readers.
These are comics from publishers like Image, Boom! Studios and Dark Horse that would be good gateway series for readers who have primarily read comics from Marvel and DC.
It also sparked an interesting conversation about accessibility in comics, and how intimidating it can be to venture out beyond the "big two" comic publishers.
