Update for 4/25/23

New review today for Airbag #1 by Brian Canini. What are the odds that that man has the most overall reviews of anybody on this website? Considering he started making comics maybe a few years after I started the website, I like his chances…

New review today for Travel Diary by Scott Finch. Happy weekend everybody!

Update for 4/19/23

Join me today as I crawl all the way up my own hindquarters to talk about my experience with Love and Rockets: The First Fifty: The Classic 40th Anniversary Collection by Jaime and Gilbert (and sometimes Mario) Hernandez, Los Bros Hernandez! Hey, don’t I usually review teeny tiny small press comics? Yes, and I will mostly continue to do so, but I couldn’t let something like this come into the world without talking about it. Indulge me, won’t you?

Update for 4/17/23

New review today for Marshmallows by Chris Resnick, as I’m dealing with another unintentional theme week. This time around it’s “comics that are too big for my scanner,” although the Friday review just barely fit. Exciting times!

Update for 4/4/23

New review today for Odds Clods #3 by Steve Steiner. Also, even though I’m in my usual perpetual state of trying to clear out the review pile (Sisyphus has nothing on me), many of them are multiple comics from the same creator. So if you have single new issues of your stuff that could use a review, now would be a good time to send them my way.

Update for 4/6/23

New review for The Fifty Flip Experiment #31 by Dan Hill, and this concludes his weekly reviews. For now! The man’s always putting out new comics, don’t you fret.

Update for 3/31/23

New review today for The Stoneware Jug by Stefan Lorenzutti & John Porcellino, who you may remember as the king of cats.

Update for 3/29/23

New review today for The Fifty Flip Experiment #30 by Dan Hill. One more issue for these weekly reviews, unless I missed something else that he sent me, which is entirely possible. Suspense!

Update for 3/27/23

New review for Farewell by Joao Fazenda, which concludes this current batch of mini kus comics. Always a sad day, granted, but since this is #114 of their series, I think we can safely expect to see more of these wonders in the future.

Update for 3/23/23

New review today for The Fifty Flip Experiment #28 by Dan Hill. I also saw on his website that a new issue is coming out soon, so now it’s a race against time to see if I can get through these weekly reviews before it comes out. Place your bets!

Update for 3/21/23

New review today for Eyeland #2 by Nick Forker. I was debating doing weekly reviews of his stuff too, as he sent me several comics, but so far I’m leaning against it. Mostly because I like variety, and doing more than one of those sets of weekly reviews at a time would make things seem pretty repetitive around here. Maybe in a month or so…

Update for 3/16/23

New review today for The Fifty Flip Experiment #27 by Dan Hill, as I continue his weekly reviews. But wait, you might be thinking if you’re reading these as they come out. Didn’t you just review #29 last week? I can’t put anything by you: it’s true. I found two more older issues in an unexplored section of my apartment. I’m honestly thinking about hiring a spelunker to get to the comics that have been unintentionally buried over the years. Anyway, that just means more reviews of his comics, so everybody is a winner!

Update for 3/14/23

New review today for SRY not Sorry by Michael Fikaris, and yes it’s true, it’s another mini kus book! Enjoy it, as I’m down to just one new one to review after this one.

Update for 3/10/23

New review today for Screaming Mimi Kids Volume 1: Ghosted by Patrick Lay. That might be the last of the CXC comics to review, but as soon as I type this I’ll probably find a few more buried comics. Happy weekend y’all!

Update for 3/8/23

New review today for The Fifty Flip Experiment #29 by Dan Hill. Speaking of Dan, I noticed that his comics were getting backed up here, so I’m doing that thing where I review an issue a week for a few weeks. Maybe this will help me get more into his general mindset, which may or may not be a good idea. But it should at least be interesting!

Update for 3/6/23

New review for You’re the Center of Attention by Gina Wynbrandt, which is another one from the mini kus pile.

Update for 3/2/23

New review today for Slight Return by Brett Hamil. Oh, and if you have spare cash around from your tax return (or just in general), the Love and Rockets 40th anniversary behemoth that Fantagraphics put out a few months back is absolutely worth your attention. If you haven’t heard, it reprints the first 50 issues of the series (when it was magazine sized), letters pages, ads and all, with a final volume that’s nothing but essays, interviews and various projects of theirs. I’ve barely even scratched the surface of the beast, but it is gorgeous. Here’s hoping they have something similar in the works for Naughty Bits by Roberta Gregory, as I’m still missing large chunks of that series.

Update for 2/28/23

New review today for Womp Womp #3 by Brandon Lehmann. Sorry if the sample image was a little crooked, I was under a cat attack while trying to scan.

Update for 2/24/23

New review for Santos Sisters #2 by Greg and Fake Petre, and it just occurred to me that there’s been another Santos in the news quite a bit lately. Crossover?

Update for 2/22/23

New review today for Glimpses of Life #8 by Brian Canini. I’m still planning on doing some bulk reviews for a couple of his series, in my doomed effort to try to catch up to one of the more productive artists in comics. I have a pile of Plastic People comics giving me a guilt trip over here…
