New review today for Grocery Bag Grotesques by Bart Wolf, because even though I still have review piles of comics to get through, this website is always welcome to new faces. Well, new to me anyway, this dude seems to have been making comics for awhile now…

New review today for The Devil’s Grin #1 by Alex Graham. Happy weekend y’all!

New review today for The Chosen One by Charles Brubaker, and it looks like I’ll actually have time for three reviews this week. Is it too late to use “Happy New Year” to celebrate this? Yeah, probably…

New review for definitely the biggest book I got at CXC last year, it’s the return of a crowd favorite, Carbon by Justin Madson!

New review today for Grapefruit by Ana Margarida Matos, as the mini kus reviews continue.

New review today for World on Fire by Cooklin, and yes, I’m still trying to get through my CXC pile in the new year. As always, eccentric millionaires, I’m always accepting donations to hire more reviewers/get me out of the workaday rat race. I don’t care how shady you are!

New review today for Piggy Fire by Darin Shuler, and you know that it’s also a mini kus book. Am I doing weekly reviews of their stuff again until I run out? Eh, maybe. We’ll see!

New review today for Insomnia Funnies by James Collier, which may of may not be available, depending on when you’re reading this. But come on, I’m sure you can at least see big chunks of it online if you look around. Right?

New review today for So Buttons #13 by Jonathan Baylis and his gaggle of artist friends. Start taking your bets now on the first time I forget the year for these updates! If I can get through January I’m usually golden…

I’m ringing in the new year with some mini kus! New review today for Gym Gains by Gareth Brookes.

New review today for Girls Named Meghan: A Teenage Memoir by Beth Heinly. I reviewed a few of her comics in anthologies in the before times (meaning the big update in 2010 that deleted all of the old review dates), but this is her first graphic novel that I’ve seen. Oh, and as for updates during the Xmas times, maybe? Maybe not next week, but probably the week after that. Or maybe both weeks. Who knows? It’ll be an Xmas miracle either way!

New review today for Fun Time Fall 2022 by Mike Dawson. I got both books I’m reviewing this week from Domino Books, which is an online shop that Austin English is running. Get your comics there, they have all kinds of great stuff.

New review today for Apoqueerlyptic by Mitch E. Viciuex, which was a healthy reminder that I should get to the local comic shops for review comics more often instead of waiting for random stuff to come in the mail. Not that I’m discouraging that practice, mind you…

New review today for Medieval Comics by Rob Jackson. One of these days I should add up how many reviews of his comics I’ve done over the years and see how close he is to being in the lead…

New review today for Far Tune: Winter by Terry Eisele and Brent Bowman. Remember the olden times when I wouldn’t post a review of somebody again before the initial review shuffled off the front page? No? Good. It would be weird if you did.

New review today for New Things by Lauren Barnett, and for those of you who don’t read the reviews but do read these weird little update thingies (a category of people I just made up), “new book by Lauren Barnett” is all you need to know.

New review today for Enough Nonsense by David Robertson and his trusty gang of comics pals, by which I mean artists. And probably pals, at least in some cases, why not?

New review today for The Re-Up #2 by Chad Bilyeu & Juliette de Wit. And yes, of course I’m still reviewing comics from CXC. I’d be surprised if I got through this stack before the end of the year.

New review today for Ha! Magazine by Robb Mirsky, which is a hefty pile of laughs to enjoy with your Thanksgiving meal.

New review today for Live From New York It’s So Buttons! by Jonathan Baylis, J.T. Yost and Jeremy Nguyen. Veering from the CXC pile to the mail pile this week, in case anybody was wondering…
