New review today for Six Mini Comics by M.S. Harkness. Hey, guess who has two thumbs and got sick and didn’t go CAKE in Chicago this weekend? Yep, it’s this guy! It was also a solid reminder that if you can go to either day of a con, always go to the first one. I felt fine on Saturday damn it! So I’ll be using the old Google to search the artists from the show and buy some books online. Not as fun and more expensive overall, but I’ll get at least a partial sampling from the show.

June 27, 2025New review today for Silent Observations by Apolonija Lucic, and you’d better believe that’s another mini kus comic. Also I just found out that Ron Rege Jr. had a serious accident recently and is running a fundraiser to help him get through it, which you can donate to here. I’ve reviewed more than a few of his comics and have read and loved quite a few more (it’s true, I don’t actually review everything I read), and if you can spare any money, please do so. The world needs that man making comics for as long as is humanly possible.

June 25, 2025New review today for Plastic People #19-21 by Brian Canini, so it’s kinda sorta another SPACE review. Hey, speaking of cons, CAKE is going to be in Chicago this weekend (6/28-6/29). Eddie Campbell is going to be there, which is a huge deal to me at least, and judging by that list of exhibitors, I’m going to be lucky to have enough gas money left to make it back to Champaign.

June 23, 2025New review today for The Oddysee of Pal by Danny Ferbert. What with the ridiculous heat wave hitting Illinois and the potential start of World War 3, I can at least guarantee that there will be a couple more comic reviews coming this week. That’s something, right?

June 17, 2025It’s the return of the mini kus books! New review today for Swelling by Walker Tate. And if you think this means that I’ll have at least a weekly review of these books up until they’re gone, you would almost certainly be correct.

June 11, 2025New review today for Margaux & Owen Go to the Shore by Audra Stang. Is this one actually left over from CXC of last year? I think it might be!

June 9, 2025New review today for In The City Part Four by Karl Christian Krumpholz. Not that it would have taken much convincing anyway, but I did say that the line was short for review comics that came in the mail, and a deal’s a deal.

June 5, 2025New review today for Fish Out Of Water by Phoebe Mol. Also, that’s not the first time I’ve reviewed a comic with that title. Can you find the other one?

June 3, 2025New review today for Sportsbar, NY Part V by Martin Pohl, the first non-SPACE comic I’ve reviewed in a month. Still not much of a line for reviews these days, to anybody who’s interested. One of these days I should really figure out my password for the stats section of my own website. It’s entirely possible that I’ve been talking to myself for years and just haven’t noticed…

May 30, 2025New review today for Transition Hacks For Ye Old Mascs by Leo Covault! That’s it for SPACE month, although if you think that’s the end of the SPACE comics you are completely wrong. But now I’ll also be mixing in other comics for review, which has also made me realize that I’m pretty low on other comics to review. Now’s the perfect time to send me some comics, as the line for reviews is currently very short. Happy weekend y’all!

May 29, 2025New review today for S. Padre Island from whoever makes the comics at Turtle House Comics. Their name, sadly, has been lost to history (when I went to SPACE last month).

May 28, 2025Like I’m going to go the entirety of SPACE month without reviewing a Brian Canini comic. New review today for Airbag #0! Also I finally did a control+f search for Brian’s name under the “review by authors” tab (highly recommended for finding comics you’ve never heard of, since the reviews start 24 years ago) and I do think he’s the overall winner of most comics reviewed, as this is #54, and it’s also not even including any anthology he’s in. Even John Porcellino barely cracked 30! So, congrats to Brian, I guess?

May 27, 2025New review today for Crime and Punishment by M.S. Harkness! No, she wasn’t at SPACE, but I managed to get her latest comics while in Columbus anyway.

May 26, 2025Somehow last week got away from me, so I’ll end SPACE week how it began: with a review every day of the week, just like old times when I was still young and full of enough energy to do such a thing. New review today for Not What I Ordered by Matthew Northrup!

May 15, 2025New review today for The Light Outside the Window by Ben Wright-Neuman. Also sure, I may review the same names a lot (because they make so many comics), but both reviews this week were for brand new artists to the website, and three out of the five reviews last week were also for brand new people. So hey, I’m still trying to keep things interesting!

May 9, 2025New review today for Blood Bowl by Lief Bennett! Would you believe that I had another comic all set to review (Save It For Later by Nate Powell), only to rediscover that I already wrote a lengthy review of it back in 2021. At least it was a library copy, so when I bought a copy from Nate at SPACE this year I didn’t end up with two copies on my shelves. Still, the ongoing replacement of my brain by this website continues. Happy weekend everybody!

May 8, 2025New review today for Mr. Rock and his Light Bulb Oven by Pam Bliss. Has she been making comics longer than anybody else at SPACE? She started in 1989, so you tell me, comics historians reading this that I just made up in my head!
