Since this is apparently “let’s declare a trade war on our closest allies” week, I’ve decided to review comics that aren’t from America this month. Do I have enough comics to keep that promise? Let’s find out together! New review today for The Hard Switch by Owen D. Pomery (South London, if you’re curious).
Update for 1/31/25
January 31, 2025New review today for Plastic People #16-18 by Brian Canini. Didn’t I say that I was going to check and see if I’ve reviewed more of Brian’s comics that anybody else on this website? Eh, one of these days…
Update for 1/29/25
January 29, 2025New review today for Adventures in Gondwanaland by Maryanne Rose Papke. Her triumphant return to the website!
Update for 1/27/25
January 27, 2025I’ve struck a new vein of comics to review in my search of moving boxes, so I should be OK for a few weeks. Still, I’m taking comics for review, as always, around here! New review today for Once Upon A Time… There Was A Mouse! by Rachel Bivens.
Update for 1/23/25
January 23, 2025New review today for A City Inside by Tillie Walden. I mentioned that I’m low on review comics, right? If somebody doesn’t send me something soon I’m going to have to unpack some of the boxes from when I moved that may or may not have comics I need to review in them. Please spare me this task that I definitely have to do sooner or later anyway!
Update for 1/21/25
January 21, 2025New review today for The Re-Up #6 by Chad Bilyeu and Juliette de Wit. Hey, I’m writing this review in the past. Is America still a country after the inauguration yesterday or naw?
Update for 1/10/25
January 10, 2025New 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?
Update for 1/8/25
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!
Update for 1/6/25
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!
Update for 1/2/25
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?
Update for 12/31/24
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?
Update for 12/19/24
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!
Update for 12/17/24
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.
Update for 12/13/24
December 13, 2024New review today for Santos Sisters #7 by Greg and Fake Petre, soon to be a fancily collected hardcover edition by Fantagraphics! Well, for the first five issue, anyway.
Update for 12/11/24
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.
Update for 12/9/24
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.
Update for 11/29/24
November 29, 2024New review today for Must Be a Happening by Fran Lopez, happy weekend y’all! Assuming that you hadn’t started your weekend a few days ago, what with the holiday and all…
Update for 11/27/24
November 27, 2024New review today for Bald Knob by Brett Hamil, as I’m finally digging more into the review comics that came in the mail this week.
Update for 11/25/24
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…
Update for 11/20/24
November 20, 2024New review today for Clutter by Ariel Bordeaux, as I continue the seemingly eternal task of getting to the bottom of my pile of comics from Cartoon Crossroads this year.
