Occupy Comics, from Black Mask Studios, with its host of contributing artists and writers capturing some of the ways in which comics can protest inequalities in society, finally arrived in trade collection this week, complete with Alan Moore's long essay "Buster Brown at the Barricades", edited, in fact, by me: Hannah Means-Shannon.

First up, we keep ourselves occupied with Occupy Comics #1 from fledgling publisher Black Mask Studios Then we take a look Mike Garley & Martin Simmonds' Eponymous #1, which debuted as part of the recent VS Comics Anthology. From there we turn our attention to the first issue of Gabriel Hardman's solo effort Kinski from Monkeybrain[...]

You'd be surprised just how many Kickstarter comics projects suddenly updated their current status with donors after yesterday's post. They include Occupy Comics, who wrote about the planned Anthology, saying; Hey everybody- Sorry for the lack of updates I keep wanting to announce a new timeline, but I'm reliant on a lot of other people so it's[...]

Alan will be "contributing a[...]
