Monthly Archives: January 2009

New review for Oatmeal II by Henrik Rehr & Lars Horneman, one of those hard to find books that I’m putting up here anyway.  Also, huzzah for one whole month (minus the few days at the start when I was out of town) of constant rambling!   Only 11 more to go…

New review for XO #4 by Brian John Mitchell & Melissa Spence Gardner (scroll down his page to see it), one of those rare comics that is so small that it actually got lost in the pages of another comic in my “to do” pile.

New review for Ogner Stump by Andrew Goldfarb.  No, not THAT Ogner Stump, this is a brand new one.

New review for Punked by Jeffery J. Manley, also available in the store.  Just scroll way down his huge page to get there.  Also, the weather people were finally right and for the first time in 4 years my work has actually been closed due to snow.

New review for The Cosmic Norseman #1 by Clint Basinger, and once again the weatherman has fooled me into taking a snow day when I didn’t really need to.  That’s it, tomorrow I’m going to work even if I have to take the dog sled in to get there…

New review for The Comic Book Holocaust by Johnny Ryan, and it’s exactly what it sounds like.

New review for Null & Void #6 by Donovan Cater, also available in the online store, and I had to dig deep in the vault for this one.

New review for Eric Whetsel is Johnny Tobaccoseed by Tom Cherry, and yes, I did update Tom’s page fairly recently.  If only I had a bigger pile of minis to review I could mix things up a bit more.  Alas…

New review for Watching Days Become Years #4 by Jeff LeVine, also available in the online store.

New review for Family Tales #5 by Janice Lowry, and it’s been one whole day since my plea for new comics and I haven’t received any yet!  Oh woe is me.

New review for Inside Outsiders #42 by John Robbins (and did I mention in the review that I’m not entirely convinced that this is actually a #42?), and I’m throwing a call out there for more comics again.  Once I get the old tax return I can get a pile of new stuff to review, no problem.  Until then, well, it’s just the stuff people send me in the mail.  It also doesn’t have to be your stuff necessarily either, you know.  Maybe you know somebody who does excellent work but is shy about putting it out there, or maybe you have a list of things that you are amazed aren’t already on the site.  Or maybe you don’t want to send me comics because I was harsh to one of your older books.   Well… so send me your awesome new book to prove how wrong I was!  I love it when that happens.  This daily review thing can only keep up as long as I keep getting books in the mail.  If you consider that a good thing, send me some books!

New review for Eclectic Comics #1 by Andrew Wales, and is it possible that that colossal failure is finally out of office?  Still doesn’t seem real.

New review for Mallard #3, an anthology out of England edited by Tom English.

New review for Thomas Wogan is Dead by Dave Hughes, and I should mention that Young American Comics is apparently going out of business and they’re selling a bunch of stuff at their website for ridiculously tiny prices.  Hm, maybe this economy really is broken and I’m in trouble thinking a website like this can ever make more than a few pennies at a time.  Oh well.

New review for II: No Time Like the Present by Eve Englezos & Joshua Moutray (part 2 of a 3 part series), also available in the online store, and have I mentioned how much easier that thing is to navigate after fixing it up around the first of the year?  Try it and see!

New review for This is What Concerns Me Presents Remainders by Susie Cagle (the title looks less clunky on the comic than it does all typed out here), and it occured to me recently that if I keep reviewing comics every day I’m going to need to be getting more stuff in the mail to review.  Sure, I have enough for another couple of weeks, but then it starts getting dicey.  So why not send me your comics?

New review for Plastic Farm: Fertilizer by Rafer Roberts, a sort of in-between graphic novel to the regular story, for those of you who were curious.

New review for Children & God #2 by Kelly Clancy, and I’m going to have to come up with more interesting conversational topics if I’m going to do one of these updates every day…

New review of Nibble #1 by Tom Cherry, and jeers to serious winter weather turning into nothing after I’ve already called off work.

New review for Run, Damn You, Run (early nominee for best title of the year, that’s for sure) by O.E. Rivera.
