Cosmic Book News is excited to have Robert Heske and his Indie Column, IndieCreator. Editor, Matt McGloin, adds, “IndieCreator will fit quite nicely with our site. We actually do have a few Indie creators on staff. Bob’s knowledge of the industry not only in regards to creating, but also publishing, will be a most welcomed addition to the team.”

"I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Don Smith of Cosmic Book News last year. Don was one of the creators (along with artist Jason Dube) for my 2012: Final Prayer end times anthology, and now - thanks to good Karma - I am thrilled to join Don as part of the Cosmic Book News team. Going forward, I will continue to seek out indie comics' best creators and visionaries. Don't miss my upcoming interview with John Layman, writer/creator of CHEW from Image comics -- the top breakout independent comic of 2009," said Heske.

He added, "Being associated with Cosmic Book News and Invest Comics - both nominated for 'Best Comic Book Website' by the Project Fanboy awards - is an honor and an opportunity."
