New review today for Ask A Cat by Charles Brubaker. Last week was actually really busy at work (petition reviewing), which is why there was only the one update. This week looks a lot slower, so maybe a regular schedule of reviewing this week? Let’s go with that.

January 29, 2015New review today for Lucy the Octopus #3: And Less The Freak by Richy Chandler. Has anybody else out there read the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett? I ask because I wonder how I’ve missed it until now. Too many comics, I suspect…

January 27, 2015New review today for The Palace of Ashes by Andy Warner. In case you were wondering how that saga with the roofers played out (I’m sure you were all on the edge of your seat), there is now a pile of roofing materials outside, buried under snow.

January 22, 2015New review for My Life in Records #3 by Grant Thomas, and those people are still working on the roof while I type this. Again, it’s freezing outside. Makes sense to me.

Update for 1/21/15
January 21, 2015New review today for Magic Whistle #14 by Sam Henderson. Also, why do apartment complexes decide to replace tiles on a roof in a rain/snow storm in the dead of winter when there’s no leakage? Because that’s what’s happening outside my window right now.

January 20, 2015New review for Monkey Squad One Annual #2 by Doug Michel, and although last week was a mess, I shall attempt to do regular reviews for the rest of the week. Assuming that the universe is done messing with me for now…

It’s “Best of the Year” Week!
December 29, 2014With the gigantic caveat of “best of the year of graphic novels that I’ve read.” Which, looking over the past year, is a pretty short list. I seem to be slipping in the quantity of reviews, so I’m either running out of steam completely or last year was just abnormally busy for me. We’ll find out which theory is correct together next year which! Anyway, I’ll be re-posting reviews from the past year at of some of the best graphic novels of the year. Please note that this is not a “Top 10” list, that the books are in no particular order and that it is possible to love very different book equally. And as I’m only posting graphic novel reviews, I should at least mention some of my favorite series/creators of the past year, so in no particular order: Sam Spina’s TARN (Sam Spina in general can do no wrong), Brian John Mitchell and his countless great series, Ohio is For Sale by Jon Allen, Slaves of the Megapode by Rob Jackson, Towerkind by Kat Verhoeven and Ryan Cecil Smith and his sprawling, ongoing SF series. Granted, that list looks short, but there also aren’t all that many ongoing series that I read. I think Dave Sim’s record of 300 issues of a single series is safe forever. OK, happy New Year week everybody, regular posting will resume on Monday or Tuesday of next week!

December 18, 2014New reviews today for Sugar Booger #2 by Kevin Scalzo and Ultimate Lost Kisses #15 by Brian John Mitchell & David Branstetter. More tomorrow if I get any free time, if not I’ll get at least a couple of reviews up next week before I leave town for the holiday.

Update for 12/16/14
December 16, 2014New review today for Short and Merciless Stories by Marco Taddei & Simone Angelini. Speaking of that, I’m thinking of putting up some older posts of some of my favorite books of the year, probably in the last week of the year when everybody else is doing them. As this was a sparse year for reviews (by my standards), we’ll see what I can come up with, but a top 5 is easy, maybe even a top 10. Sure, it’s technically “reruns,” but at least you’ll have something else to look at while you’re stuck at work for that stupid week between Christmas and New Year’s where everybody would be off if the world was a just place.

Update for 12/10/14
December 10, 2014New review today for Bixtone Productions 24 Hour Comic Madness Extravaganza by Kevin and Arthur Bixby. Oh, and if you’re reading this you’re probably already aware that I moved roughly six months ago, and that you should always check the address at the sidebar so that any comics sent actually make it to me. I mention this because my old apartment complex just called and they have maybe half a dozen packages waiting for me. Which, come to think of it, is probably true for many of my old apartments, they’re just the only ones nice enough to let me know about it…

Update for 12/8/14
December 8, 2014Since I seem to have no end of trouble with weeks getting away from me, why not put a bunch of reviews up early in the week instead of hoping for the best at the end of the week? I’m trying that out this week, so two new reviews today: Trepanation by Emi Gennis and Colossal: Before Curious Machines by Jason Ludtke. I do plan on doing regular reviews the rest of the week too, but if that turns out to be wrong then at least I got a couple of great comics up this week, right?

Update for 12/2/14
December 2, 2014Two new reviews today, for Smallbug Comics #2 by Charles Brubaker and Short Run: On Your Marks by about a half dozen Seattle artists. Maybe I’ll manage to get a regular weeks worth of reviewing up finally? It’s possible!

November 24, 2014Yep, a review on a Monday. I’m trying to get back into a routine here, even if the holiday week is going to make a mess of things this week. Still, why not get a few reviews in, right? New review today for Bakersfield, Earth #1 by David Quantic & Tamra Bonvillain.
