This site has this page up about an alleged comic-book series called "War of the Independents", allegedly being published by Arcana Studios(I can find nothing about it at their official site) which is supposedly a cross-company/publisher rumble between scores of independent characters ranging from Cerebus to Zot! and including Faust! Sounds like it would be kind of lame(for one thing Faust is not a superhero and this sounds nearly as silly as "Moby Dick vs. The Justice League of America" or some such) but on the other hand I would pay to see Faust slaughtering a ton of over-appreciated characters just for shock value. Anyone know what the status of this is? Did it get dumped or what?

This is the first I've ever heard of it.

Yeah I can find no more information about it either. Was hoping that Tim or someone could shed some light.
Edit: fixed the link above BTW.

I saw the advertisement on the back of ''Arcana Presents - FCBD 2007''. It supposed to be release in July 2008.  We need to be patient....  Voltak  |

They'd probably just kill Faust off in some lame-ass way. Did they get Tim's and David's permission to do this anyway?? I can't imagine they could use Faust without it being okay'd by them.

The info they have on that page is all wrong. I'ts like they saw the movie, then picked up a few of the re-prints, and then came to their own conclusions. Bollocks. Jaspers would kill them all anyway... Aparently, he has NOT spilled enough blood. |

The above information is wrong. The series is published by Red Anvil Comics and the first three issues are already out. The first issue features Faust on the cover. Sorry, I did a google search for this comic and found this thread. Not tryin' to necro' you guys. |

For those who don't like spoilers (minor ones at that), feel free to pass over this post.
Glanced through the first 3 issues tonight. To be honest, I didn't know 75-80% of the characters (it has been some time since I was heavy into the indie comic scene). Some good Cerebus stuff, a few Tick pages, plus a couple cameos from Milk & Cheese and Too Much Coffee Man. Other than that, I was lost as to who most were or why I should care.
As for Faust, with the exception of a small shot of him on the cover of #1, he only makes a 1-panel appearance so far (also in issue #1), plus a picture of him on a wall in the background later in the issue. More just an acknowledgement that he exists & nothing more. He doesn't in any way play into the story so far.
Here's hoping that issues 4-6 have more to do with him, because I honestly can't see the point in him even being in the series if he is only going to be glanced over. Hell, Chuck D & Flavor Flav from Public Enemy had more to do with the series so far, & I didn't even know that they were comic characters.
