New 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.
Update for 10/29/25
October 29, 2025New review today for Midville High #9 by Matt Blair, which is not a book from Cartoon Crossroads even though Matt lives in Ohio. Go figure!

October 27, 2025New review today for With You, Without You by Hannah Jill Johnston, and why yes I did pick that up at Cartoon Crossroads. How did you guess?

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!

October 13, 2025Taking a brief break from Cartoon Crossroads book to at least make a dent in the mail review comics, so the new review today is for Cookies & Herb by Matt MacFarland!

October 3, 2025Oh hey, maybe birthday, future me! Self-indulgent, but you’re allowed to do it if you have your own website. New review today for Trans Girls Hit the Town by Emma Jayne! And after my previous disappointment at being unable to find ways to buy the comics I’d been reviewing from the con, you can get a copy of this one online easily.

October 1, 2025New review today for Untitled (2024) by Glenn Baskin, and I think this makes 100% of the comics I’ve reviewed from Cartoon Crossroads so far that have no noticeable way to actually buy them online? Help me out here, people!

September 29, 2025Oh sure, NOW I get a bunch of comics to review in the mail. Sorry folks, it’s going to be Cartoon Crossroads time around here for at least a few more weeks, but I’ll get to them. New review today for Bogue #5 by Ruby Carter!

September 25, 2025New review today for The Canine Revolution Part 1: The Book of Yinlod by Tim Ballard. This is one of the first two books that I got at the convention that were both about dogs, but sadly I couldn’t keep that up for the entire convention. Some people made comics about things other than dogs, can you even imagine?

September 23, 2025Back from Cartoon Crossroads, which was great once again, thanks for asking! One of these years maybe some kindly rich person (since they’re oh so common out there) will give me enough money to buy a copy of every comic at the con, but I did the best I could! New review today for Tales to Demystify: The Perfect Breakfast Sandwich by John G.

September 19, 2025To round out the week I’m linking to my reviews for Steve Steiner, and I’m really hoping that he has some new editions of his giant newspaper comics at Cartoon Crossroads this weekend. Come to the con why don’t you?

September 18, 2025If anybody in the world is a fan of my especially long and rambling reviews, all of Nate Powell’s work that I’ve reviewed has been graphic novels, and I do go on when it comes to those.

September 17, 2025Today I’m linking to a newish favorite around here, Karl Christian Krumpholz! And yes, since I’ve been doing this for 24 years, somebody that I’ve only been reviewing for 9 years does count as “newish.”

“Update” for 9/16/25
September 16, 2025Today I’m posting the reviews for somebody who’s a featured guest at Cartoon Crossroads this weekend, but I started reviewing his stuff when he was still doing mini comics: Matt Madden! Crikey, look at the text formatting on some of these oldies…

“Update” for 9/15/25
September 15, 2025It’s a trick! There are no actual reviews this week, but I am going to post a link to all of my reviews for somebody who’s going to be at Cartoon Crossroads this weekend every day. Watch how they/I evolve over the years! Probably more them then me, honestly. I’m mostly still the same old dope I’ve always been. Anyway, let’s start things off with reigning champ of the website (i.e. the person I’ve reviewed the most) Brian Canini!

September 4, 2025New review today for The Bible Drawings Part One by John Mitkoff. I wasn’t able to get to Chicago this weekend as planned, meaning my options for review comics until Cartoon Crossroads in a couple of weeks are just about gone. Will I get enough comics over the next week to write reviews next weekend? Probably not, but maybe!

September 2, 2025New review today for Maps by Chris Auman, as I’ve somehow ended up with maybe the dumbest theme week around here yet: double page spread as a sample image week! Ugh, that needs a catchy name in the worst way.

August 28, 2025New review today for Ninja Bootleg by Brian Canini, and you wouldn’t believe how low my Canini comic reserves are getting. The plan is to get to Chicago this weekend and stock up at Quimby’s, so we’ll see if that’s what actually happens!
