New review for Monkey Squad One Annual #1 by Doug Michel. There was no update yesterday because of connection problems, as I’m not allowed to have just one thing go wrong with my computer at any given time. Those should all be fixed now, he says nervously…

March 28, 2011New review for Yo! Burbalino #4 by Greg Farrell. Sure, I missed the weekend update, but at least there will be a new update every day this week barring my hands falling off, so that’s a good thing, right?

Update for 3/25/11
March 25, 2011New review for Dexter Park by Desmond Reed, and my scanner worked for about 20 minutes today, so I managed to scan about half a dozen of the comics that were closest to my computer. This means regular reviews next week and I’ll most likely manage to post one this weekend too. Huzzah! Also, my apologies if your comic wasn’t close enough to be grabbed, but I’ll get to those when I give up in a week or so and just buy a new scanner already…

March 23, 2011New review for Pork Belly #1 by Dan W. Taylor, and the scanner seems to be officially dead. I’ll head out to get a new one tomorrow or Friday and then I’ll be reviewing a ton of stuff, as it’s been piling up with all the technical problems.

March 20, 2011Quick, if you’re in Columbus, go to SPACE right now! There’s still time! Actually, with the time difference there may not be. Anyway, new review today for Skin Horse Volume One by Shaenon K. Garrity & Jeffrey C. Wells.

Update for 3/17/11
March 17, 2011New review for Panel #16: “Sweet” 16 by the Ohio anthology masters. Most of them will be at SPACE this weekend in Columbus, so you should maybe think about heading that way. I’m almost certainly too broke to make it, but that’s no reason for YOU not to go. Oh, and as far as the scanner goes, it just so happens that turning my computer on and off multiple times seems to get it to work, so back to normal updates until that temporary fix stops working too.

March 16, 2011Hey look, the scanner worked today! New review for Window #7 by Dave Lapp. If this scanner is really working again I’ll be back to the daily reviews, if it was all a trick then it’ll be sporadic posting for another week or so until I can get it replaced or have a bundle of cash fall into my lap.

Update for 3/15/11
March 15, 2011Oh yeah, there are still some books in the online store that went unreviewed. New review today for First There Was The Scribble by Brad W. Foster and a bunch of other artists. I’m hoping my tax return will be able to pay for a new scanner, as my current money has to go to getting new glasses (the frame for the old ones exploded for no good reason) first. I’ll still manage to get a review up for the last Panel book before SPACE this weekend, but my ability to afford going to it is doubtful at best. If any millionaire reading this could send me $1,000 for the trip out of the goodness of their hearts… right, like any millionaires read this site. And like any of them have hearts…

“Update” for 3/10/11
March 10, 2011After eight rounds, the scanner wins the fight for a review today by knockout. If I ever get that stupid thing working again I’m going to scan sample images from as many comics as I can before it explodes, in the meantime feel free to order some comics to help out or continue to wait patiently until I’ve managed to pile up enough pennies to get another one.

Update for 3/9/11
March 9, 2011New review for Night Animals by Brecht Evens. This would have been a Top Shelf Tuesday update yesterday, but I didn’t win my most recent battle with my scanner until today. Slowly earning enough cash to get a new one and stop bitching about it, but I’m also still perfectly happy to have anybody who wants to help me get a new scanner buy some comics from me…

Update for 3/4/11
March 4, 2011New review for Bird Brain #2 by Francois Vigneault and, as the universe clearly hates me, the frame for my glasses just exploded for no good reason. It’ll be a little longer until I can get a scanner that works every day, and my plans for going to SPACE this year are looking increasingly unlikely. So if you have books that you generally hand to me in person at SPACE, you may want to think about getting a package together to mail to me instead, barring a minor miracle or the discovery of a rich relative.

Udpate for 3/2/11
March 2, 2011New review for Cheetahs Never Win #1 by Steve Reeder because today is Austria Wednesday! Just today though, unless all kinds of Austrians start mailing me comics in the very near future. Oh, and the scanner worked fine today, thanks for asking, so if it can hold together for a few more weeks I should be able to replace it myself and stop bugging the lot of you about it.

March 1, 2011New review for Moulgar Baggg Digest #3 by Rusty Jordan/Brent Harada, and it nearly came without a sample image because my scanner died again after getting the cover scan. A few well-placed punches later and it was back in action. Stay tuned tomorrow to see whether or not the scanner works! Oh, and for a new comic of some kind if it does.

Update for 2/28/11
February 28, 2011New review for Panel #15: The Movies by those Columbus folks who keep putting these things out there for the world to enjoy. You probably noticed that the review came with pictures, as the scanner worked again today after multiple attempts. To be blunt, I can’t afford to buy one for at least another couple of weeks, possibly more if I want to go to SPACE this year, so I’m asking again for people to buy some comics to help out. I hate fundraisers as much as the next person, which is why I’m not calling it one, and it might not even matter, as the scanner might hold up in its rickety condition for another month or so. But if you enjoy the site and think that it would be a bit worse without sample images (and have some money lying around that you would like to transform into comics), then I should be able to stop mentioning this after I get between $75-100.

Update for 2/25/11
February 25, 2011New review for Sunnyville Stories #2 by Max West, and the “help buy me a scanner” beg-a-thon rolls on. I figure they’re between $50 and $100, so once you buy enough comics to cover that I’ll stop talking about it. Or through sheer despair if nobody buys anything, because I am easily made sad.

Update for 2/24/11
February 24, 2011New review for Mishap Collection #2: The Greasing of Billy Charter by Jerry Goebert & Tom Brinkmann. It’s sure looking like my scanner is on its last legs, as that trip away from town didn’t help it one bit, so any comics ordered over the next couple of weeks will go towards a new one. It doesn’t take much for me to keep running the site, but comics and a scanner are two things I can’t do without. Or maybe somebody has an old but working scanner that is taking up space in their house? I’m not picky. Contact me if that’s the case, if not then order some comics to help out the cause! The cause being, in this case, my stupid failing scanner…

February 23, 2011New review for Losers Weepers #2 by J.T. Yost, which is also newly available for sale here. Sorry about the absence, but I’m back in Champaign now and it should all be back to normal, which also means that now is an excellent time to order comics. No waiting!
