March 20, 2009New review for Peehole #1 by Jim Donaldson, just in case you thought that this site was getting all highbrow or something…
Update for 3/19/09
March 19, 2009New review for Black Ghost Apple Factory by Jeremy Tinder, one of the many excellent books I missed completely over the years somehow, just in case anybody had the wrong impression that I was some sort of expert about comics or anything…

March 18, 2009New review for What I Did On My 2008 Summer Vacation by J. Brendan Williams, and it’s much too nice out for me to write any more than that.

March 17, 2009New review for Lovely Ugly Cruel World #8 by Amanda Rehagen, and happy day of St. Patrick to everybody!
Update for 3/15/09
March 15, 2009New review for Crass Sophisticate #21 by Josh Reinwald & Justin Rosenberg, and I think this makes 7 days in a row with completely new people on the website. OK, I’m probably the only person who cares about these things, but it makes me happy.
Update for 3/14/09
March 14, 2009New review for The Magic Fishing Hook by Katrina Zimmerman. I’ve noticed that most of the books I’m reviewing from Quimby’s are from 2004-2005. Did I miss the memo that most people stopped making mini comics around then?

March 13, 2009New review for Old Timey Gunslinger Tales #2 by someone who is almost certainly not named Abe Comis.
Update for 3/12/09
March 12, 2009New review for Loaf by Todd J. Miller, and in case I haven’t mentioned it yet, any comics I get through the mail will always be reviewed here before anything I buy at a store. That and this comics pile, while hefty, is also finite, what with my continuing to review stuff every day and all…
Update for 3/10/09
March 10, 2009New review for The Ultimate in Quality! by Gus Kim, and I think it’s going to be summer here in Columbus for another couple of hours, then back to winter. Three cheers for March!

March 9, 2009New review for A Grain of Salt by Lynn Lau, I’m back from my trip and I managed to get a decent pile of comics from Quimby’s. One little point I’d like to rant about, for those of you new to making mini comics: if you put out a book that’s a straight up black and white number (meaning no fancy covers, no color art at all), don’t charge more than $2 for it unless it’s giant. Seriously, I’m somebody who is trying to get as wide a range of artists up here as possible, but there were literally dozens of books I didn’t pick up because I was insulted by the price. Granted, the inside of the book may be the most brilliant thing in western literature, but I will never know that unless somebody sends me the book for free to review, and even then I’ll be compelled to mention the ridiculous cover price. The only people who are going to pay more than $2 for simple black and white minis are either independently wealthy or related to the author.

March 6, 2009New review for the somehow overlooked Reporter #1 by Dylan Williams, also available in the online store. I’m heading out for the weekend, so no updates until Monday at the earliest. I hate breaking that nice streak I had built up, but it can’t be helped. In the future when I go out of town if I have comics to review I can always do the reviews and have them posted automatically day by day (ain’t technology grand?), but at this point I’m essentially out of comics to talk about anyway. Happy weekend everybody!

March 5, 2009New review for Karl Kressbach’s Delusion Dispatch, available in the store with material that’s maybe a bit dated, but still funny.
Update for 3/4/09
March 4, 2009New review for The Herbivores #3 by James Stanton, and if anybody out there is annoyed at the same names popping up over and over again in the reviews, sending me your comics is a very easy solution…
Update for 3/3/09
March 3, 2009New review for Reader Copy by Tom Cherry, and that officially exhausts my pile of Tom Cherry comics.
Update for 3/2/09
March 2, 2009New review for Salvager Kain #4 by Paul Sloboda, and do I have enough comics to keep reviews current before I go away for the weekend? Stay tuned and see! Or, you know, come back in a week or so and check the old posts to see if I managed it. No suspense at all when it comes to the internet…

March 1, 2009New review for Time Warp Comix #1, edited by Dan Taylor and available in the store.
Update for 2/28/09
February 28, 2009New review for Slam Bang #1 Volume 3, edited by Allen Freeman, containing over 50 contributors and available in the Optical Sloth store. Two months down of constant reviews, huzzah! If I can manage to get to December with only a dozen or so missing days (a tall order, I know) I’m going to post enough to make it end up being one for each day. 365 reviews in a year would have to give me some kind of bragging rights, yeah? Who I would brag to is another question entirely…
