New review today for Savage Beast by Ansis Purins! I never did get around to that best of list for the year, huh? Maybe I’ll put something together next week, or maybe I’ll forget all about it. Find out along with me!

December 30, 2025Just in time to be slightly late for the holiday, the new review today is for Brandon Lehmann’s Stocking Stuffer Spectacular. Also I’m still waiting on my mysterious billionaire benefactor to 1. exist and 2. buy the rest of Brandon’s books and send them to me. Maybe for the new year!

December 18, 2025New review today for Detours by Eli Bishop. Since I’m still short on review comics, maybe next week I’ll do some kind of a “best of” list? Eh, everybody else is doing it, so why not me?

December 16, 2025New review today for Town & Country #4 by Alex Nall, making his welcome return to the website. Mostly because I misplaced this review copy a couple of years back, but still!

December 8, 2025New review today for Watch Your Tone!! by Gren. Did I pick this one up at Cartoon Crossroads this year or did it somehow just shift it’s way up to the top of a review pile of older comics? Lost to history, I’m afraid.

December 4, 2025New review today for The Bible Drawings Part Two by John Minkoff. And hey, I’m also throwing out a general mention that the comics I have left to review from Cartoon Crossroads are getting sparse, so why not send me some of your books to review? I’m getting perilously close to doing this for 25 years, so chances are pretty solid that I won’t just steal your comics and run. Unless it was YOUR comics I was waiting for before instituting my nefarious master plan…

December 2, 2025New review today for Sleepless Sights by Dane Georges, a Cartoon Crossroads comic that almost snuck into a pile of other comics and was lost forever. Not this time!

November 26, 2025Just when you were thinking that this year has been entirely terrible, at least there’s a new King Cat (#84) by John Porcellino out in the world!

November 24, 2025New review today for Mach the Hedgehog by Stephen Pellnat. Oh, and today almost everything at Fantagraphics is 40% off. So if you’re reading this on the day it’s released, you’re in luck!

November 19, 2025New review today for Odd Clods #8 by Steve Steiner. The management regrets the lack of pictures and will clean that up at some point in the future.

November 13, 2025New review today for Eyeland #16 by Nick Forker. Hey look, it’s another unintentional theme week! This time it’s “ongoing comics series that come out on a regular basis by prolific artists.” Catchy!

November 4, 2025New review today for Airbag #4 by Brian Canini. What, did you think I went to Cartoon Crossroads and Brian DIDN’T have a new comic out? What a thing to think. Also there’s no election in Illinois today, but if you’re in a state that has one, vote! Use that privilege while you still have it.

October 15, 2025New review today for Introverts Illustrated #1 by Scott Finch, who sent along a Meeting Comics-esque bundle of the whole (?) series. Does this mean weekly reviews for a new series? Maybe for a little bit, or maybe for the whole thing, or maybe not at all. It’ll be a surprise!
