It’s time for the weekly Meeting Comics review! This time it’s for #9 (by Andrew Neal, of course). I was thinking about switching to reviewing one of these every two weeks, but the review comics pile is looking a little sparse, so I’ll keep this up. Unless some of you wanted to send some review comics of your own my way so I can change things up…

Happy New Year! I wanted to get things off on the right foot, so here’s a review for Go Fuck Myself: The Fuckpendium by Mike Freiheit. He was nice enough to put little hearts over the “u” for both of them, but this keyboard doesn’t have that technology, so feast your delicate eyes on those swears. Feast!

It’s the final review of the year, and it’s Booze Ha Ha by David Robertson! Happy happy and all that, I have no resolutions to leave all this behind, so you’re most likely stuck with me for another year. Or not, as you can stop reading this at any time, but that’s on you. Feliz Navidad!

New review today for that old weekly favorite, Meeting Comics #8 by Andrew Neal! You know, if I was able to plan ahead even a little bit I’d have the last issue of the series scheduled for the last week of the year, but instead I still have 11 issues left. Ah well…

Well, so much for that master plan my of reviewing schedule, huh? Blame a cascade of pot petitions at work. New review for Goiter Comics #6 by Josh Pettinger!

New review today for It Ends Badly #1 by Barry Southworth, which should be a familiar name if you’ve been reading this website for a decade or so. Oh, and far as holiday reviews go? Next week I should be able to write at least a couple, ditto for the week after that, but this week is a real mystery. Let’s find out together, shall we?

New review today for Lounger by Nick Mullins. Which made me wonder: how annoying would it be to put together a “best of” 2021 list for graphic novels? Seems like a hassle, but hey, maybe it would be fun? Uh, not to give away the tone of this review or anything…

New review today for Meeting Comics #7 by Andrew Neal, as the weekly reviews continue. Only 11ish more weeks left to go!

New review today for Weak Magic by Will Schreitz. Happy weekend y’all!

New review today for Meeting Comics #6 by Andrew Neal. Only 14 or so weeks to go for these weekly reviews!

Yeah, I took Thanksgiving week off, but I have a good excuse: I was watching Fellini movies instead. New review today for Lemonade Tango by Henry Uhrik!

New review today for Ruining Your Cat’s Life by Lauren Barnett, and this concludes the graphic novel sandwich. Happy weekend everybody!

New review today for Meeting Comics #5 by Andrew Neal. That’s right, I’m still sticking to the weekly reviews.

It’s a graphic novel sandwich of reviews this week! First up is Are Comic Books Real? by Alex Nall.

New review today for The Domesticated Afterlife by Scott Finch. What, you never thought about it?

Back from my extended working schedule (known around here as a “break” for some reason), so here’s a new review for Meeting Comics #4 by Andrew Neal. What’s this, two reviews in a row for the same person? Yep! Didn’t you see me mention that I’d be doing these weekly for a bit? What’s that? You assumed I would have flaked out by now? Historically, I get it. But not yet!

New review for Meeting Comics #3 by Andrew Neal. What, did you think I wouldn’t follow through on the whole weekly reviews of this series idea? Yeah, fair enough, it’s happened before. Speaking of, it’s election time again, so there almost certainly won’t be any reviews next week. The week after that should be back to normal. Don’t forget to vote!

New review today for My Hot Date (And Other Embarrassments) by Noah Van Sciver. Those Kilgore Comics folks were nice enough to send me a half dozen of their newest comics, so expect to see more from that pile in the coming weeks.

New review for O Human Star Volume Two by Blue Delliquanti. See? I told you I’d review somebody who I was hoping to see at Cartoon Crossroads this week!

New review today for Meeting Comics #2 by Andrew Neal, and just in case you only read these blurbs and not the reviews (you weirdo you) I’m going to start reviewing these suckers weekly. Hey, if you have a dozen plus issues of your series out, send them to me in a chunk. Maybe I’ll start reviewing them weekly too! I’d hold off until next year though. Can’t be doing several weekly review series at the same time, otherwise when would I get the time to review other stuff? I’m just one man!
