OK, I’m trying something different but familiar this week: five reviews! It’s been awhile, but I think I have my schedule worked out so that a daily update is possible this week. Come along for the ride and see if I’m right! New review today for School Approved by Alex Nall.

This is looking like a busy week coming up (as was the last one, which explains the lack of updates), so I might not be able to get any reviews up until next week. I do have some comics here to review, it’s just that real life is getting in the way. As always, any eccentric millionaires out there who want to give me a pile of money so I don’t lose all those hours to an office job every week, let me know!

New review today for Zonzo by Joan Cornella. It’s what the world needs now!

New review today for Merchants by Rob Jackson. Somehow I managed to miss SPACE again this year, so if anybody has new comics from the convention that they’d like to send along for review purposes, please feel free.

New review for Upgrade Soul by Ezra Claytan Daniels, whose middle name I misspelled all along, starting maybe 15 years ago. My apologies, and to make it up to him everybody should buy this utterly unique science fiction graphic novel.

It’s unintentional science fiction graphic novel week! What can I say, it just worked out that way. New review today for On A Sunbeam by Tillie Walden.

New review today for My Troubles With Crumb #1 by Matt MacFarland, which he was nice enough to send my way after I expressed curiosity. And people say there are no benefits to being an unpaid comics reviewer!

New review for The President Killed My Dog #2 by Chris Kostecka & Dietrich Smith.

New review today for Defiling the Literati by Alex Schumacher, which is as good a time as any to say: hey, do you make comics about politics? Send them my way! I’m always happy to see more that actually take real world concerns into account.

New review today for Dodo Comics #5 by Grant Thomas, as it’s back to the mini comics after a week of fancy graphic novels.

New review today for Kid Gloves by Lucy Knisley! Yes, I know I reviewed two of her books this week, but they were both too amazing not to talk about, so I really had no choice, if you think about it. Happy weekend everybody!

For all of you readers who have been around a decade or more, this one has been a long time coming indeed: new review today for Smile by Raina Telgemeier.

New review today for Something New by Lucy Knisley. I am trying to keep these gaps between reviews to a minimum, honest. Life just has a way of making that tricky sometimes is all…

New review today for Dark Pants #4 by Matt MacFarland.

New review today for The Elements of Rough #2 by Max Clotfelter. Looks like things might be picking up at work soon, meaning that if you have review comics you’d like to send my way, soonish would be a good time…

New review today for So Buttons: Man Of, Like, A Dozen Faces by Jonathan Baylis and a gaggle of assorted artists, some of which you already love.

New review today for Chlorine Gardens by Keiler Roberts, which is another chance for me to tell you to support your local libraries. I wouldn’t have nearly the access I do to graphic novels without them.

New review today for the complete Jam in the Band by Robin Enrico, which was a long time coming but well worth the wait. Um, even though it was technically released in 2017…

New review today for The Fuzzy Princess by Charles Brubaker, which is different from his past issues of the same name, so don’t be fooled.

New review today for Entropy by Aaron Costain, which is something I should have reviewed months ago but it got misplaced during my move. From July. Again, if there’s anybody out there who’d like to organize over two decades worth of small press comics and doesn’t mind being paid in said comics, I’m hiring…
