Glitch #2

It’s kind of hard to review something when you don’t think the actual book is that bad, but there are so many typos and errors in grammar that it’s painful trying to read the damned thing. That’s the case with Glitch. Auto-bio type stuff about a couple of gay men living in Chicago, the content of the book is pretty good. Still pretty raw, but it shows some potential. This guy needs to get a friend who understands the English language to go through his book before he puts it out. Christ, he doesn’t even know when to use “where” and “were”… but I digress. The bulk of the book is about a photographer who gets put on an assignment that he doesn’t really want and a gay man being nervous about his date, before and during. It’s good stuff. Kind of expensive ($3) but it looks nice. I like his art a lot too. It seemed to start off kind of weak, but it came together as the book went on. I don’t know, maybe he was in a hurry when he started it. I would say that you should wait a little while before buying stuff from this guy, but this is #2 already. Maybe he’ll start caring about actually correcting things by the third issue. If that’s the case, or even if it isn’t and you’re not quite as annoyed by little things like that as I am, you could do worse than to buy this.
