scans_dailyComics outside the Big Two? Hell yes. Anyone who's familiar with me and my comments (I don't comment often, but I've been a regular for a number of years) know that I've moved away from MOST of the Big Two, preferring self-contained and/or creator-owned series.
Elephantmen is, by far, my favourite one. And even better, the first issue? Completely free and online, thanks to the creators and their website. I'll provide a couple of scans and also a link to the issue for those interested.
The best way to describe Elephantmen is it's like a mix of Blade Runner and Ninja Turtles. There are a number of genetically altered animals who, after serving (brain-washed) in a war, are now considered free citizens. However, there's still a great deal of fear, xenophobia, and racism from the general public.
The little girl asks Ebony if he's a monster, like her friend said. He hesitates, thinking back...
And I think I'll leave it there. Here's a link to the first, full issue:
