New reviews today for Yo! Burbalino #3 by Greg Farrell and The Experts #2 by Kenn Minter & Clarence Pruitt.  Has anybody had problems with the store while trying to order for my current anniversary sale/celebration?  It seems to be fixed, but you guys would tell me if you were having problems, right?  OK, good…

New reviews for Everything Dies #2 by Box Brown and Crass Sophisticate #11 by Josh Reinwald, Brett Rosenberg & Justin Rosenberg.  Comics! Sale! Anniversary! Freebies! Financial turmoil!  Etc., etc., etc…

New reviews for Schmuck #14 – Blue Plate Special by Mark Sahagian and The Fifty-Flip Experiment #11 by Dan Hill.  Have you bought your August celebratory comics from me yet?  If not, why not?  It’s too hot to go outside anyway, why not stay inside and read comics?

New review for Asbestos Wick by Eamon Espey and Pork Belly #2 edited by Dan W. Taylor.  Hey, I said I’d do double reviews this week unless I had a job, and I don’t have a job.  I am still looking for people to buy 9 comics this month to help celebrate the site anniversary though, and nothing is sadder than sitting all by yourself at a celebration…

New review for Cops and Crooks #1 by Brian John Mitchell, Eric Shonborn and Jason Young.  Fundraiser/anniversary celebration still going on, all this month, where you get a free comic and a piece of original artwork with every nine comics you order.  And did I mention that I’ll let you pick out the artist for the piece of artwork?

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?


Update for 8/11/10

New review today for Smoo #2 1/2 by Simon M., and hey, how about ordering some comics from me?  I have a few goodies offered to make it more worth your while, you know…

New 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, 2010

Happy 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.

New 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, 2010

New 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 5, 2010

New review for Window #4 by Dave Lapp, and the month-long comics sale/celebration is off to a slow start.  Is everybody broke?  If you did order something and had a problem, contact me and I’ll fix it right up…


Update for 8/4/10

August 4, 2010

New 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, 2010

New 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

New 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…

New 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.

Finally got the review up for Good Minnesotan #4 up, so huzzah for that!


Update for 7/29/10

New 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?

New review for Robots Are People, Too! #1 edited by Greg Vonduskra, and who wants to hire me in Champaign? What do you mean there are no jobs out there?  Uh-oh…
