Pastisch på Bild:Marvel-Mcnivencivilwar.jpg.]] "War of the Independents" är en sex nummer lång miniserie där ett flertal seriehjältar från ett flertal nordamerikanska independentförlag medverkar. Serien är författad av Scott Lobdell, tecknad av Dave Ryan och publicerad av Red Anvil Comics. Serien aviserades att komma ut i mitten av 2008 publicerad av Arcana Studios, men detta sköts upp. Istället släpptes serien i oktober 2011.

Historien handlar om hur skurkarna Kain och Orcus från Dave Ryans serie "Penance" försöker bygga ett "omvänt Babels Torn" för att släppa Helvetet löst på Jorden. Hjältarna i "Penance" söker hjälp av Dawn från Joseph Michael Linsners "Cry for Dawn" för att besegra hotet. Tillsammans söker de allierade kors och tvärs i rummet, tiden och hela Multiversum.
