New review for Raised By Squirrels: Los Alamos, and things should be back to “normal” around here next week and I’ll have a nice pile of stuff from SPACE. Happy weekend!

No reviews today, as things are still hectic and I’m just trying to keep up, but two new comics are available in the online store: Earth Minds Are Weak #8 by Justin Fox and The Horrifically Complete Non-Winner by Kelli Nelson, a mammoth thing that looks to be required reading for any fan of her Non-Winner strip. Also, in all the chaos I didn’t even notice that SPACE was this weekend in Columbus, so if anybody is looking for something to do this weekend you could do a lot worse than one of the biggest (and best) small press conventions of the year.

I know, I know, I’m trying to keep up. New review for Humpday by Adam Buechler, and Top Shelf is having a big old sale, with all kinds of comics as cheap as one dollar, so go spend some money. Also, the Hans Rickheit section of the online store has just been replenished, with new copies of Chloe, Chrome Fetus #5 and #6, and that last one sold out months ago. Plenty more stuff to be added in the coming days…

Sorry about the lack of updates this week, it’s been a generally crappy bunch of days. I’ll try to get something up over the weekend to make up for it, and here’s a new one for Shame On You by Barry Southworth, also available in the online store…

New review for Treeby Kooba #1 by Jeremy C. Sorry about the lack of a review yesterday, I went to see 300, as I’m required by law to see all movies related to comics. Short review: it was great. However, if you question anything about it at all, it will crumble quickly and turn into a pile of crap. Leave the brain at home and you’ll love it…
