Back from my first ever trip to Thought Bubble and there's so many Small Press/indie/home-made comics out there.

Is there a website that reviews them critically? I'm sure everyone of them is a well-intentioned endeavour but it's really hard to know where to start.

Ironically given I'm a 2000ad fan but the Anthologies in particular seem everywhere and I'm really just trying to find good collaborations between a single writer and author. Any recommendations?

There used to be a few podcasts knocking about, best of the bunch was Small Press Big Mouth but thats long gone.

These days I tend to listen to http://awesomecomics.podbean.com/ and they cover a lot of small press.

As for sites these days, the only one that tends to do reviews as such that I know of still running is: http://www.brokenfrontier.com/section/columns/small-pressganged/

They tend to do a bit in the way of small press.

They only other one I know of that is still running is the following: http://pipedreamcomics.co.uk/

Beyond this I have no idea, I love my small press and fanzines more than the actual big titles these days, of course you can forget good old ZarJaz :P A must for any 2000AD fan, they even have a new online shop and everything :D

No worries,

If you come across any others pass them this way too, love small press as it offers something new and fresh over the bigger publishers, just hard to find out about new books and zines at present unless I manage to see a few on Twitter or other forums etc.
