New review today for Still Making Your Diary Comics? by Fran Lopez. Also hey, it’s a new year and I’m getting low on review comics once again. I’m going to make a Chicago run one of these days (Quimby’s and Chicago Comics being mandatory stops), but if the weather is going to be this miserable for the entirety of January, I’ll need some comics to get me through. Send me your latest why don’t you?

January 8, 2025New review today for In The City #3 by Karl Christian Krumpholz, which almost makes this another week of comics from CXC. They’re for real almost out now though, and technically Karl mailed this one to me because I missed him at the con. Update your records accordingly!

January 6, 2025New review today for Messed #1 by Jay Kalagayan, Dylan Speeg and Clint Basinger. I’m writing this in the past, before I see if Illinois has a giant snowstorm today and tomorrow or if it ends up being a sputtering nothing. Exciting!

January 2, 2025Hey, I’m one for one on getting the year right! New review today for The Audra Show #7 by Audra Stang, and maybe one of these years I’ll go back and list all of the comics folks whose reviews started off the year around here. Wonder if there’s anybody listed more than once?

December 31, 2024Last chance to type that year our, except for all of the times I’ll do it by accident in January. New review today for Cassetty by Chris Auman, and hey, at least the year is over, right?

December 19, 2024New review today for Nugget #4 by Tony Dipasquale! In website news, are there going to be reviews up over the holidays? Eh, probably. If it ends up snowing and I get stuck in town I’d call that a sure thing, if not I’d put the odds at 50/50. So if you’re really curious about it, keep an eye on the weather for Urbana Illinois!

December 17, 2024New review today for Airbag #3 by Brian Canini, which you’d think would be from my Cartoon Crossroads pile but nope, he’s just that prolific that he already has another book out since the con a few months ago.

December 11, 2024New review today for Sportsbar, NY Part IV by Martin Pohl, although it should have a little mark over the “a” and I don’t know how to make it show up. Other than that, yep, that’s the title.

December 9, 2024Well, I’m not even sure what happened with reviews last week. Unfortunately timed distractions is my best excuse, as I’d planned on writing a few of them. But don’t fret too much, here’s a new review for You Get What You Get by David Robertson.

November 25, 2024New review today for It’s Oola Too!! by Karl Christian Krumpholz. Technically this is a review for a comic he sent me in the mail, but if I’d returned to his table at Cartoon Crossroads when he was busy like I’d intended, this would be another CXC review. Just in case anybody is keeping track of these things…

November 14, 2024New review today for Fugue Omnibus by Beth Hetland, and if you’ve mailed me review comics over the last couple of months, yes, the Cartoon Crossroads pile is almost gone and I’ll be getting to your stuff soon. There aren’t enough hours in the fricking day…

November 12, 2024Boy, good thing I took the week off of reviewing for the election, huh? Good to see that America is delighted with an absolute, all-encompassing piece of shit as the head of state for the next four years. I’m thinking maybe it’s time that I diverted some of the energy I put into political things and move it into the comics things I’m doing here, but I’ve had big ideas in that area that have fizzled out before. If I don’t run out of steam, stay tuned, I’ll be trying some new things soon. In the meantime, the review today is for OKCryptid by Matt MacFarland.

October 31, 2024Oh look at that, it’s Halloween. I should have picked a spooky comic to review, huh? Well, instead of that, you’re getting So Buttons #14 by Jonathan Baylis and friends. Maybe I’ll review something spooky for Thanksgiving instead…

October 29, 2024New review today for the triumphant return of The Audra Show (#6) by Audra Stang! As you can tell from the previous sentence, I am very unbiased about this comic.

October 25, 2024New review today for the triumphant return of Sugar Booger (#4) by Kevin Scalzo! Also with the election season heating up, is this the end of reviews for awhile? I sure hope not, and I’m going to try to sneak them in when I can, but we’ll see how it goes. I do want to mention that there’s a new issue of So Buttons out by Jonathan Baylis, which I’ll get to soon, but I’m mentioning it here as more of a general announcement. Happy weekend y’all!
