Lucky Comix #5

Ah yes, comics that are five years old. No contact info that I would trust as being current (so I just linked to the USS Catastrophe site up there, where I bought this here comic), no real idea if this guy is still putting out comics. I’m going to assume that he is and he didn’t quit to become a CPA four years ago. This is a collection of stories, I think all by Mark except for a complete mish mash of a comic by Claudio Parentela in the middle, of which we will speak no more. First up is a mostly wordless story about a prisoner watching the world go by as he’s transported on a train. A nice melancholy little story that falls off the rails a bit at the end. Then you have another installment (I missed the other ones) of Warworld, a continuing story Mark was doing about a brain in a jar involving all sorts of intrigue. My only complaint about this one is one that I seem to have a lot: please, PLEASE learn to spell. I know it’s not that big a deal to some people, but it bugs the hell out of me, as all it would take it a simple spell check on the computer or, I don’t know, a bit of proof reading. Also in here is a mystery involving two people trapped in different parts of a house and a phantom baby, along with a few one page comics about a Charlie Brownish character that are mostly funny. Maybe I’d have gotten more out of this is if I wasn’t picking it up at #5, but the whole thing didin’t do much for me. I’ll try to get a real website or contact info nailed down, until then you know where to go… $4
