10 Indie Comics You Must Read Before You Die
8. Death Be Damned
Death Be Damned contains maybe just about every badass combination of words to man; it's a supernatural western, starring a zombie cowgirl, and she's on a bloodthirsty revenge quest. It's the sort of thing that, in the hands of mere mortals, could easily become ridiculous, but due to the equally supernatural abilities of both the writing and art staff Death Be Damned is as crazy and awesome as it is grounded in reality.
The comic also succeeds where many of its cousins do not - in establishing an immortal character for whom death is still a concern for both her and the reader. It allows for a careful balance of allowing awesome and lethal stunts to take place, without making them feel entirely boring because there is nothing at stake during them.
Death Be Damned is a fairly new franchise - its first issue was released in January 2017 - and it's relatively short, spanning a cosy four issues. But in spite of these factors, it has to be said that the comic is a unique and fun experience from a genre as niche as it is fantastic, and is more than worth the time it would take to read.
