This week (and probably the next) are clearly going to be chaotic around here, but hey, there’s always time for a mini kus review! Today it’s for Not From Home, Not From Beyond by Dina Omut.
Update for 3/4/26
March 4, 2026Another week, another mini kus comic review, this time for Scraps of a Memory by Ula Rugeviciute Rugyte.

Update for 3/2/26
March 2, 2026New review today for Duane’s Big Walk by Rusty Jordan. Election’s a’coming everybody, so I’m going to write at least a couple of reviews this week, but my apologies if this month ends up being a little sparse. I’m trying to juggle all of the things, I really am…

February 26, 2026New review today for Rain in Tears by Mao, and you’d better believe I’ll be reviewing these mini kus books weekly until they’re gone.

Update for 2/24/26
February 24, 2026The new review today is For the Record by David Robertson, who I’ve been reviewing since the very early days around here. Hey, almost 25 years of this nonsense, I’m allowed to get a little nostalgic. Sorry the reviews last week fell apart, but I have more to do at my job than I maybe ever have at one of these elections jobs, and boy howdy is that ever saying something. I’m doing my best over here!

Update for 2/16/26
February 16, 2026New review today for The Boy and the Worm by Heather Loase, and you know what that means: mini kus is back! I’ll be talking about these comics here and there for the next little while. As for the rest of the week, work is getting mildly out of control, so we’ll see how it goes. I’m cautiously optimistic that I’ll have at least some free time?

Update for 2/11/26
February 11, 2026New review today for Little Misanthropist by Gabriel Mason Howell, as the Spit and a Half pile continues to dwindle. Eh, if nothing else I’ll just buy more comics. What, you think I’m just going to quit that easily after doing this for almost 25 years?

Update for 2/9/26
February 9, 2026New review today for Covers #2 by Jason Martin, and it’s been too long since I’ve had one of his comics on the website. Um, spoilers for how the review is going to go, I guess…

February 5, 2026New review today for House-Sitting by Carolyn Swiszcz, in which she tells stories about what would probably be an ideal to spend aimless hours inhabiting.

Update for 2/3/26
February 3, 2026New review today for Pandemic Parade by Elise Dietrich, and yes, I am in fact still reviewing the Spit and a Half books. Send me your comics (or send me comics of people that you like! I’m happy to write about whoever), because there’s still a few months until the next local (ish) convention and I’m going to run out of these comics way before then.

Update for 1/30/26
January 30, 2026New review for Night Air by Ben Sears, and that’ll wrap up Spit and a Half week. Will there be another one next week? It depends on if people send their review comics, because one look outside right now tells me I’m not going to be driving anywhere to buy comics. Happy weekend y’all!

January 28, 2026New review today for Gorgeous by Cathy G. Johnson, and hey look, it’s another person with a big backlog of work that I’d like to check out! Secret fictional millionaire benefactor, you’re my only hope of reading and talking about all of the comics. I’m wasting way too much time on this “making a living” nonsense…

January 26, 2026New review today for Dear Missy by Daryl Seitchik, and yes, that does mean that my Spit and a Half order has arrived. Buy some comics yourself why don’t you? John Porcellino is both an incredible artist and a delightful online shopkeeper.

Update for 1/22/26
January 22, 2026New review today for, you guessed it, Cochlea & Eustachia Volume 2 by Hans Rickheit. Back to the mini comic reviews next week probably? Depending on the promptness of the postal service, I reckon. Unless somebody else has review comics on the way to me, that is…

Update for 1/20/26
January 20, 2026Sorry about being a bit slow getting out of the gate this year, an order to Spit and a Half should have some mini comics on their way soon. In the meantime, Hans Rickheit was nice enough to send me both volumes of Cochlea and Eustachia, and since Hans is an old favorite of mine who’s work I haven’t seen in ages, I figured: Hans Rickheit week! New review today for Cochlea & Eustachia Volume 1, so guess what the review is going to be later in the week?

“Update” for 1/9/26
January 9, 2026Ugh, I ran out of week in a hurry. So I’m going to cheat a bit: Cankor by Matthew Allison, The Hard Switch by Owen D. Pomery, and Cookies & Herb by Matt MacFarland for the graphic novels, and I have to mention the comics of Fran Lopez. Clearly that’s an incomplete list (I mean, no mention of the mini kus books at all?), but these jumped out at me after scrolling through the year. Now here’s my general plea: send me your minis to review! Or if you found a mini you loved, send it to me too. I’m going to be mostly broke for at least a few months, so I’m going to be relying on the kindness of strangers for a bit. It’s either that or I start digging through the dreaded boxes of old comics to see what I uncover…

“Update” for 1/8/26
January 8, 2026I Never Found You by Emma Jon-Michael Frank has really stuck with me since reading it months ago, which is as high of a compliment as I can give (I read a whole lot of comics). Assuming it even came out last year I’m guessing it got overlooked, but there’s no reason for you to do that. And even though they could now fit under comics or graphic novels, Greg and Fake Petre are really tearing it up with The Santos Sisters and seem unstoppable.

“Update” for 1/7/26
January 7, 2026This one is a bit of a cheat because I still haven’t written a review for it, but Kayla E.’s Precious Rubbish is on every “best of” list that I’ve seen, and deservedly so. I’ve actually started writing a review for it a couple of times and crashed out because attempting to describe everything I saw in that book was just too much to encapsulate. Read the reviews from the people who are smarter than me, you’ll get the idea. And on the comics side, let’s hear it for Dan Hill! He’s the madman we need for these times (I’m sure he’s a perfectly lovely gentleman).

“Update” for 1/6/26
January 6, 2026Keeping with the theme, Sean Knickerbocker’s Best of Three deserves a mention on any “best of” list. And for the comics side (although he’s getting closer to putting out regular graphic novels all the time), read Karl Christian Krumpholz if you aren’t already!

“Update” for 1/5/26
January 5, 2026Sure, most people have to go back to work or school from the holiday break this week, but I decided that I’m sticking with me “best of” idea for the year. Note: these aren’t in any kind of order, and I’m mostly covering stuff that I reviewed here. Since I hardly ever review the big Fantagraphics/Drawn & Quarterly/etc. releases, that means that my selections will be wildly different from the other lists you’ll see. But read those too! Generally speaking, those books are on the big lists for a reason. I’m starting off with maybe my favorite book of the year (but these aren’t going to be in any kind of order): Goes Like This by Jordan Crane. And what the heck, I’m also going to mention a (primarily) mini comics person each day too, so why not start with the guy I’ve reviewed the most: Brian Canini!
