New review for The Bridge Project edited by Matt Leunig, and where are all those new books from SPX? Don’t you people want some cheap and easy publicity?

October 6, 2009It’s the penultimate Tempo Lush Tuesday, with a review for #9: You Are Such A Pathetic Loser. And, once again, if anybody wanted to step up with another mini comics box set, or a half dozen issues of a series, I’d be happy to do another weekly spot. Hey, why not a 24 hour series? People do 24 hour comics sporadically, sure, but why not make it a series? Not every day, as most people would drop dead, but maybe do one or two a week. Think of it, a series in no time at all!

October 5, 2009New review for the Harvey-nominated The Dreamer #2 by Lora Innes. Well, technically the whole series was nominated for Best New Series, but you get the idea.

October 4, 2009New reviews for Glorianna: Sneak Preview by J. Kevin Carrier & Tim Fischer and And Then One Day #7 by Ryan Claytor, which is also newly available in the store along with his The Machinist. I didn’t get as much stuff as I thought at the conventi0n, so I’ll probably be getting comics through the internet after all.

October 2, 2009New review for Adventures of the Right Hand by Woojung Ahn, and there may not be an update tomorrow because I’ll probably be at the convention. If not I’ll make up for it on Sunday with brand new things to talk about, so there is that.

September 29, 2009Tempo Lush Tuesday! New review for Tempo Lush #8: The Sculptor by Richy Chandler. You know, I’d be up for doing this for anybody else who sent me a bear stuffed with a bunch of mini comics. As long as I can make it vaguely alliterative on my end I’m happy.

September 27, 2009New review for Too Negative #12 by Jenny Gonzalez, another comic that I’m pretty sure you can find at SPX just in case you read this on Sunday before hitting the show.

September 26, 2009New review for Nicaragua by Marek Bennett, something else you should be able to pick up if you made it to SPX this weekend.

September 25, 2009New review for Spaz #2 by Emi Gennis, which should be debuting at SPX tomorrow and Sunday. I’ll be getting to more of these debuts over the weekend, as it looks like I’m not going (unless a very rich person orders a bunch of comics in the next couple of hours). Thanks to everybody who ordered, it all goes back into comics for the site. Maybe next year I can actually save money and plan ahead for the trip like everybody else…

September 24, 2009New review for Battles of Paradise #2 by Jerell McFalls, and there weren’t any sales in the last 24 hours, so I’m still about $100 short of a trip to SPX. For those who are curious, that means that I’ll come home from work tomorrow (about 6pm E.T.), check to see if it happened and, if so, pack a bag and hit the road. I’m honestly not expecting it, but hey, try it and see what happens. Otherwise there’s a little, decidedly non-small press convention in Columbus next weekend, so maybe I’ll just go there and scour the place for mini comics instead.

September 23, 2009New review for Midville High #4 by Matt Blair, and anybody who wants to help me get to SPX officially has about 36 hours to do so.
UPDATE: OK, I’m about $100 short of going to SPX this weekend. As a pessimist by nature I’m not holding my breath, but at least I’ll be able to get a decent pile of mini comics through the internet and hey, you never know. Maybe somebody has $100 burning a hole in their pocket, or two people have $50 burning a hole, etc.

September 22, 2009It’s Tempo Lush Tuesday, so that means it’s time to review Tempo Lush #7: I Hate David Samson by Richy Chandler. I really like the ring of that Tempo Lush Tuesday, so I’ve decided that Richy has to get new comics to me every week once this box set runs out. Hey, it’s only 52 comics a year. I can’t imagine that’ll be a problem…

September 21, 2009New review for Turtleneck Boy #3 by Suzanne Baumann and various folks. The dream of SPX is fading fast for me (although there’s still time to order a pile of comics and send me on my way, hint hint), but if it doesn’t work out I’m going to spend the weekend reviewing as many books as I can that’ll be for sale at the show. Meaning that if you’re going to be there selling your stuff, and you think maybe somebody will come to this measly website and stop by your table because they recognize your comic from this page, maybe you should send that new book to the address up there on your right.

September 20, 2009New review for Kris’ (Lachowski) For The Hell Of It Mini Comic Collection. Yes, technically this is a sample book, but this is what happens when the review pile gets thin. Keep those orders coming, a trip to SPX is looking like a long shot, but buying some new comics is a good possibility.

September 19, 2009New review for Ghost Comics, edited by Ed Choy Moorman and containing all sorts of people. The fundraiser, meanwhile, keeps trickling along. It ends on Thursday night, at which point I’ll quit bugging everybody about it and either order comics or get some travel plans in order.

September 18, 2009New review for Un Petit Carnet II: Hiroshima, Miyagima & Saijo by Ryan Cecil Smith. Still going with the fundraiser (this is probably getting almost as annoying as the NPR fundraisers by now, my apologies) and I am officially past the point of buying beer with the profits. It’s either comics through the mail or a trip to SPX at this point, depending on how it goes from here…

September 17, 2009New review for Crude Dude Comix #5 by Jose Angeles, and it’s written in cold medicine-o-rama! My apologies. Here’s my sales pitch for my current fundraiser, as it’s way down on the page by now.
I’ve decided to start an “official†fundraiser, or at least it’ll be as official as anything around here. I need comics and don’t have much in the way of disposable income, so I’ve figured out a couple of solutions: either order more stuff from the internets or attend SPX in a couple of weeks. Either one of those things takes money, driving to SPX would take a bit more money. I’ll break it down for you, as it currently sits in my head.
$0 – Time to start reviewing my old Super Villain Team-Up pile
$1-10: Buy beer
$11-15: Buy slightly better beer
$16-150: Buy comics online
$151-infinity: Drive to SPX, either sleep in car or cheap hotel if the money I receive is closer to infinity.
Clearly, if you don’t want me drinking you might as well order more than $15 worth of comics all by yourself. It’s been ages since I’ve been to a non-SPACE convention and would love to get to SPX, if it’s even remotely possible. The convention is September 26 & 27, so this fundraiser will go a little less than two weeks (and I’ll post updates about it if the situation warrants it) starting… now!
