New review for Skullyflower #2 by Dragon Green, and maybe I should do double reviews next week to try and get caught up on this pile of comics. If I get a real job by then it won’t happen; If I don’t, I will. Fair enough?

August 10, 2010New review today for The Single Ladies by Amy Martin, and that month-long anniversary sale of mine is still going on. Scroll around for details, I’m tiring even myself with talking about it every day…

Update for 8/9/10, which just so happens to be the freaking 9 year anniversary of the site!
August 9, 2010Happy anniversary, me! And to all the people, past and present, who have helped build and maintain this website, thanks for everything. No way in the world would this have ever gotten off the ground if it wasn’t for your contributions. Same goes for all the people who have sent their comics in for review, as there’s no way that the selection of books here would be as rich as it is without random people sending in their books. If you’re a fan of the site, or at least appreciate a place to find new stuff like this, I’m holding a fundraiser/anniversary celebration all month where you get a free comic with every 9 comics ordered and a piece of original artwork from some of the many people who have sent me their comics over the years. There’s also the fact that I’m rapidly running out of cash, so your ordering comics now would be a good thing for me. New review today for Necrocomicon, edited by Brian Ehrenpreis, by the way.

August 7, 2010New review for Dark Dreams by Adam Jakes, and the man doesn’t seem to have a website. Kids, you may have to ask your parents about “snail mail” if you want a copy…

Update for 8/6/10
August 6, 2010New review for Cosmo Straighter #3 by Dave McKenna, and long time readers of the site or Dave will know this is his third spelling of this title, and this is the one I like the best. So Monday is the 9 year anniversary of the site. And once again I wanted to point out that anybody who orders 9 comics from me this month gets a free comic (and I’ll give you something good) and a free piece of never-before-seen artwork from somebody that you either love or should love. If you’re working on a budget, I do have a ton of comics for sale under $1, so you can still get the goodies without spending a bunch of cash if you are so inclined…

August 4, 2010New review for Welcome to the Dahl House by Ken Dahl, and I really have to insist that you all go buy it. Yes, I’m still offering free artwork and a free comic to anybody who orders nine comics from me for the site’s nine year anniversary, but surely you can find a spare $6 for this book from Microcosm Publishing…

Update for 8/3/10
August 3, 2010New review for Blindspot #1 by Joseph Remnant. I guess I’ll just keep mentioning the August comics sale/celebration for the nine year anniversary of the site here, although I may put up a banner of some kind before the month is up. All month long, if you buy nine comics from my store, I’ll send you a free comic and a piece of artwork I’ve gotten in the mail over the run of the site. Trust me, if you like comics, the freebies will be worth it.

Update for 8/2/10
August 2, 2010New review today for The Natural World #3 by Damien Jay. So hey, in about a week I will have been rambling about comics on this site for 9 years. Nine! Outside of grades 1-12 I haven’t done anything for that long ever, and it’s not like I had much of a choice in that. I’ve been trying to think of a good way to celebrate and, as it looks like the new site won’t be quite done by then (but I do have high hopes for next month). So here’s what I’ve come up with: everybody who orders 9 comics in August gets a free comic AND a piece of artwork from the nine years I’ve been running the site. I hardly ever throw anything away (a fact I am reminded of every time I move), so I have all kinds of old artwork from people who sent me comics years ago. There’s some damned fine stuff in there, but I’m willing to give it away with orders of 9 comics or more this month because it’s a time of celebration, and I’m not one to hog a celebration. If you make an order feel free to tell me how long you’ve been reading the site. I’d love to hear from people who were there at or near the beginning of all this…

August 1, 2010New review for First Fight by Bryan G. Brown, a comic about taking the first steps to joining the world of MMA. If you don’t know what that stands for, you clearly need to check out this comic.

July 29, 2010New review for XO #6 by Brian John Mitchell & Melissa Spence Gardner. I’m working on a review for the sprawling Good Minnesotan #4, but have had website stuff this week (shocking, I know) and don’t want to rush through it. Maybe tomorrow, maybe this weekend. And hey, why don’t you people order some comics? I’ve been trying to figure out if the store is working properly again, and it sure seems like it is, but I won’t know for sure until somebody orders something. Pretty please?

July 26, 2010New review today for Skullyflower #1 by Dragon Messmer and yes, that is her real name. The new version of the site is coming together, I’ve been gathering up all the old update dates so there can finally be a listing of when exactly the reviews were written (something people have been asking about for years), and I even have another trick or two up my sleeves. Patience, good comic readers, it is all slowly coming together.

July 23, 2010New review for Billy the Demon Slayer S2 #3 by Hayden Fryer, who is in Australia. I have plenty more stuff from outside the country but have to go away from the weekend and I can’t let the rest of the comics pile get away from me, so things go back to normal next week. I may do another theme week soon or I’ll probably just incorporate the foreign stuff in with the rest of the reviews like usual. Happy weekend everybody!

Update for 7/21/10
July 21, 2010New review for Team Girl Comic #1 by various ladies out of Glasgow. Let’s check on a couple of fundraisers! There’s the one for Secret Prison #2, which has made it past their goal but still has stuff for sale, so you could still make out like a bandit and get all those William Cardini books for $5 if you hurry. I also found out today about one for Good Minnesotan #4, a nice pile of minis I should be able to review next week. Apparently they’re trying to get it published as one big book instead of a bunch of little ones, and they’re close to their goal with only 4 days left. They’re also doing this so they can sell this at the reasonable price of $5, so if you have a few extra bucks and would like some goodies they are very close to their goal.
