New review for A Last Cry For Help by Dave Kiersh, which is a collection of all kinds of his comics. And if you’re wondering why I haven’t been trying to catch up around here on the weekends, it’s because I’m working on the weekends too. I’m trying everybody, I really am. Anybody have any minis they’d like to send me for reviews? 5912 Slippery Rock Drive Columbus, OH 43202, that’s me!

September 25, 2008New review for Unplugged by Derek Currant & Michael Carroll, and everybody in Ohio knows that early voting starts next Tuesday, right? I spend so many hours as that place I might as well throw out the occasional helpful public service announcement…

September 23, 2008New review for Epic Tales of the Mundane #4 by Brad Dwyer and it is confirmed, the online store does work. For anybody else who orders in the near future (or ever, actually) please tell me what you think about how it all works, as I sort of had to make it up as I went along. Good points, bad points, don’t hold back.

September 22, 2008New review for Burning Building Comix #4 by Jeff Zwirek, and WordPress is having a lot of trouble with me trying to mention that fact, so let’s see what happens on the third try…

September 21, 2008New review for Cloud Picnic by Missy Kulik, also in the online store, and I’ll be back to reviewing the pile of comics waiting for me tomorrow. I’ll still be throwing in the occasional store review though, it’d be nice to plug up all those holes eventually…

September 19, 2008New review for Pursuit by Corey Bechelli, also in the online store, as that is the theme this week, and I’m going to try to fill at least a couple more holes in the store over the weekend. For anybody new around here, I’ll tell you how this is all supposed to work. Over the course of a week, usually from Monday to Friday, I’ll try to get 4 or 5 reviews up. As I work at the local Board of Elections, February and March can be sporadic around the website (primary season) and October and November can be spotty the rest of the time, especially every four years, like, say, now. Things are getting crazy at work again, as expected, but I’ll try to keep up here as best I can. If anybody wanted to order anything from the store now is the time to do it, as I can still get to orders promptly at the moment, hence all the store reviews.

September 15, 2008New review for Take-Out Comics #3 by Raina Telgemeier, as I’m taking the week to celebrate the store finally being up and running again by filling in some of the “holes”. I also spent the weekend fixing the links on the individual creator pages, meaning that you can jump right to the store item from those “now available” buttons again.

September 12, 2008New review for Jam in the Band Book One by Robin Enrico, the store should be fully operational now for anybody who wants to order some comics, and in all the confusion lately I missed celebrating the 7th anniversary of the site. 7 years with a website! That makes me like 100 in internet years.

September 10, 2008New review for Vampspew Volume 1 by Steve Feldman and the store doesn’t exactly work as planned yet, but if you order something I will be able to see what it is and put an order together. It’s just that the Paypal end doesn’t work in one convenient step yet…

September 9, 2008New review for Skyscrapers of the Midwest #4 by Joshua Cotter and yes, I know all about the extra images in and around the update, but I can’t see them from the WordPress edit screen, and my attempts to blindly delete everything from that area hasn’t done a thing. Sorry.

September 8, 2008New review for Salvager Kain #2 by Paul Sloboda, and that online store is broken down into pages now. Yes, it was exactly as easy to do as you might have thought.

Update:News for 9/7/08
September 7, 2008The store is done! Well, technically if I was building a town it would still be a dilapidated shantytown, but everything is in one place, available for order. Now I just have to break things down into groups and get everything off of one mammoth page. The regular schedule of reviewing will resume tomorrow, and the first person who takes that new store for a spin and orders something will get a few minis for free just for proving to me that the thing works and I didn’t just waste most of my weekend putting it together…

Update: News for 9/4/08
September 4, 2008Still working on the store, and boy is that going to be going on for a while. I only got through the C’s today (although, in my defense, there were a whole bunch of them). If anybody has any experience with this E-Commerce thing for WordPress, drop me a line please. I can do the basics but a lot of the other things (like not having all the comics lumped together on one huge page) is beyond me. Oh, and Top Shelf is doing another one of their crazy sales, so for the next week you can get all kinds of stuff for $3. I recommend the Glenn Dakin book and anything by Tony Consiglio, but there’s plenty of other good stuff there too if you already have those books.

Update: News for 9/3/08
September 3, 2008OK, no regular update today, but if you’ll look over to the right of the page you’ll see that I’m finally putting the store back together. There’s much work to be done, obviously, but the first step is getting everything up and available, then I can tweak the categories and presentation a bit to make everything more lovely. Also, the first person to order with this new system gets some sort of prize, probably a free graphic novel from my recently unpacked collection, as it looks like everything works fine from my end but I would love to see this all put to the test…

September 2, 2008Well, so much for the weekend updates. Turns out that you have to unpack everything that you previously pack in to move into a place. Who knew? New review today for Blink: FYI, IDK by Max Ink.

August 29, 2008Yes, a real update, it’s a new review for The Five Year Itch of Dorothy Barry by Kelly Froh. Things will start getting back to normal by next week, although I might just have time to get one or two new reviews up over the weekend.

Update for 8/27/08
August 27, 2008OK, the good news is that I have internet service in my new place. The bad news is that it didn’t get installed until right before I had to leave for work, so nothing new today, and possibly not tomorrow either, as I still have to pack/unpack many things and only have a short time to do so. However, if you have a comic you’d like reviewed, I’m likely to get to something coming in the mail quicker than I will get all my comics in boxes unpacked, so there’s essentially no waiting at the moment. My new address: 5912 Slippery Rock Dr Columbus, OH 43229. Send away!

August 24, 2008Did I say minimal disruptions? Yeah, well… I’m going to be moving most of the next few days and should have the internet hooked up on Wednesday, so as of then things really should be back to normal. Until then, please amuse yourself looking through the many pages of archives, or perhaps re-reading some of your comics along with the reviews, seeing how completely out of line/mildly insightful I was with any given book. It’s like a fun game!

August 21, 2008New review for Damn Weird #23 by Tom Motley, one of the books that’s available in the online store, whenever I can either get somebody to help me get it working again or figure the damned thing out myself. Also I seem to have found an apartment, so here’s hoping any disruption here will be minimal.
