New review today for Screaming Mimi Kids Volume 1: Ghosted by Patrick Lay. That might be the last of the CXC comics to review, but as soon as I type this I’ll probably find a few more buried comics. Happy weekend y’all!

New review today for The Fifty Flip Experiment #29 by Dan Hill. Speaking of Dan, I noticed that his comics were getting backed up here, so I’m doing that thing where I review an issue a week for a few weeks. Maybe this will help me get more into his general mindset, which may or may not be a good idea. But it should at least be interesting!

New review for You’re the Center of Attention by Gina Wynbrandt, which is another one from the mini kus pile.

New review today for Slight Return by Brett Hamil. Oh, and if you have spare cash around from your tax return (or just in general), the Love and Rockets 40th anniversary behemoth that Fantagraphics put out a few months back is absolutely worth your attention. If you haven’t heard, it reprints the first 50 issues of the series (when it was magazine sized), letters pages, ads and all, with a final volume that’s nothing but essays, interviews and various projects of theirs. I’ve barely even scratched the surface of the beast, but it is gorgeous. Here’s hoping they have something similar in the works for Naughty Bits by Roberta Gregory, as I’m still missing large chunks of that series.

New review today for Womp Womp #3 by Brandon Lehmann. Sorry if the sample image was a little crooked, I was under a cat attack while trying to scan.

New review for Santos Sisters #2 by Greg and Fake Petre, and it just occurred to me that there’s been another Santos in the news quite a bit lately. Crossover?

New review today for Glimpses of Life #8 by Brian Canini. I’m still planning on doing some bulk reviews for a couple of his series, in my doomed effort to try to catch up to one of the more productive artists in comics. I have a pile of Plastic People comics giving me a guilt trip over here…

It’s mini kus time once again! New review today for You Feed Fire Like It’s A Horse by Marco Quadri. I feel like I don’t mention enough that they have package deals as well as options to purchase single issues, so if you want to get this issue plus the three that come after it (which I’ll be reviewing shortly, obviously) then you can do that for $22 rather than the $7.95 per issue. What a steal!

New review today for Desperate Pleasures by M.S. Harkness, and I have no idea how I’ve gone this long from CXC without reviewing this. All of my assistants are getting fired for this oversight, that’s for sure!

New review today for Supplement by Ben Cherry, which is a comic. Sometimes I don’t have a whole lot to say outside of the review, you know?

New review today for King Cat #82 by John Porcellino. New King Cat’s out!

New review today for Cat #4 by Brandon Berry, and I regret to inform you that this is the last of his comics that I got for review, so the weekly reviews are over for now. Some of you may be happy to hear this too, who knows? Without social media or comments I’m mostly shouting into the void over here…

New review today for Postal Constituents Volume 12 #2 by Caitlin Cass! That title is so clunky mostly because it’s a preview for a projected larger work. Just in case there were any absolute nutcases out there who only read the update sections and not the reviews.

New review today for Cat #3, and there’s only one more issue of this comic for me to read in these weekly reviews. Oops!

New review today for Nexus of Exes by Andrew Neal, which is also an issue of Meeting Comics, even though he’s stopped putting that on the covers. Isn’t trivia fun?

New review today for Reject All by David Robertson and friends, and I don’t think I’ve screwed up the year on these reviews yet. Happy weekend everybody!

Oh no! Is he really going to do more weekly reviews of the same title? Yeah, I’m afraid so. I’m locked into Cat by Brandon Berry, so I’m reviewing #2 this week. But don’t fret too much, as he only sent along 4 issues. So far, anyway…

New review today for a new issue of Sludgy by Robb Mirsky! It’s a mini comic, so it’s listed as #4.5. Please shelve it accordingly.

New review today for Hey Cat Volume 3: The Return of the Fleas by Nacho Nova. That’s the end of cat week, at least until the next time I happen to open more than one envelope with a cat comic in it. It’s the kind of thing to make me scrap any other plans, honestly…

Sorry about the review gap, holidays followed by bronchitis are lousy on motivation. New review today for Cat #1 by Brandon Berry, as unintentional cat week begins! Hey, I opened up two envelopes and they both had cat comics in them. What am I supposed to do, ignore that obvious sign from the universe?
