New review for Reich #6 by Elijah Brubaker (also available in the store), and I am now sad that there are no more new issues of this wonderful series to read. For now at least…

Jordan, Rusty – Molgar Bag Digest #2 (with Brent Harada)

Molgar Bag Digest #2 (with Brent Harada)
I’m speechless. That’s never stopped me before, and I’m sure I’ll manage to ramble for an acceptable amount of time before giving up, but I genuinely have no idea what to say about this. That sample should tell you all you need to know. This is another mini with as fantastic a selection of images as you’re likely to see anywhere, all unencumbered with anything as old fashioned as a story. There were a couple of pages there where the same character seemed to reappear, and a few times when actual words and sentences crept into the pile of images, but this was rare. This doesn’t mean that I hated this; far from it. The trouble with this site is that I try to do at least a little more than say “wow, that was cool. And bizarre” and leave it at that. Why? Good question. The point is to try to inform you folks, I suppose, although this is one of those rare cases where I can’t say a damned thing that will make you understand this any better than if you just went to the website or took a few minutes staring at the sample. I will say that I was constantly impressed with the level of detail in every panel. Seriously, there was very, very little space wasted in this comic, and these two (assuming that they’re both working on everything) are impressive artists. They also have a profound understanding of the creepy, and there are at least a few pages in this that have burned their way into my brain. It was really tough to pick the sample page, which is always a good sign. Send the man about $3, check it out for yourself.

November 13, 2009New review for Ink Weed by Chris Wright, and it’s the last of the new things from Spark Plug books to be available in the store. If you were waiting until they were all up so you didn’t miss anything great, I may have inadvertently saved the best for last…

November 10, 2009New review for Rock That Never Sleeps by Olga Volozova & Juliacks, newly available in the store along with Olga’s The Airy Tales. This leaves only one new book to add to the store at the moment, and it’ll probably have to wait until the weekend with my work schedule being so crazy. I know, the suspense is probably killing you…

November 9, 2009New review for Danny Dutch by David King, newly available to the store, and sorry for the lateness of the update but there’s still post-election stuff to work on, so it may be this way through the week. Why not dig through the archives if you’re bored at work? Pick a letter of the alphabet and go to the “Reviews By Author” tab. Even if you come here every day you probably still missed a couple of them.

November 7, 2009New review for Monsters by Ken Dahl, another ridiculously amazing book from Secret Acres, and I’m mentioning them because I somehow forgot them in the review and they deserve some kudos for their work.

November 6, 2009New review for Spring Break 2009: The Adventures of Vega and Leo by Lisa McDonnell. It almost certainly isn’t what you think it is.

November 4, 2009New review for The Dreamer #3 by Lora Innes, and if it seems more incoherent than usual I’m blaming the exhaustion from the election.

November 2, 2009New review for Ochre Ellipse #3 by Jonas Madden-Connor. No review tomorrow because it’s election day and I’m too swamped today to do an extra one. These weeks are always at least mildly insane, so the plan is to keep up with the daily updates and then do an extra one during the weekend. That’s the plan anyway…

November 1, 2009New review for Goddess Head by Dash Shaw, also newly available in the store. Also, if you don’t think I ramble quite enough on this website, you can read more of it in an interview I did with www.readersvoice.com. It has my “origin story” and everything!

October 30, 2009New review for Reich #5 by Elijah Brubaker, among the pile of new things available at the store. I would have gone with one of the things that still hasn’t been listed today but I was dying to see what happened next in this series.

October 28, 2009New review for Pat Makes Drawings #1 by Pat Aulisio, not part of the current parade of new books for the store, just so that’s perfectly clear.

October 27, 2009New review for Department of Art by Dunja Jankovic, and if you guessed that it’s newly available in the store you would be right.
