Update for 7/10/07
July 10, 2007New reviews for Blow by Robert Swinton and The Bird And The Bear: Doormats Of Life by Alex Kim. Happy All-Star game day! Even if I can never manage to sit through more than a couple of innings…
Update for 7/9/07
July 9, 2007New reviews for Badassitude by Pat Aulisio and Craig Coleman (also new to the store) and Satisfactory Comics #7 by Isaac Cates & Mike Wenthe.
Update for 7/6/07
July 6, 2007New reviews for two great comics to end the week: Only Skin #1 by Sean Ford and Every Girl Is The End Of The World For Me by Jeffrey Brown. I’ve tried this before as a sort of informal plea, but I’m going to beg again, even if it pains me to do it. I’m taking some time off this summer, to work on the website and a number of other things, but money is going to be a serious issue by the end of the month. Specifically, I’ll be about $150 short. I’ve seen blogs do this from time to time, so why not me: I’m doing a “fundraiser” until the end of the month. I’ll post weekly updates as to whether or not that dollar total has changed. Don’t feel obligated; there’s bound to be a plasma center or pawn shop around here somewhere, I won’t end up homeless at the end of the month if nobody buys a damned thing. But if you ever wanted to show your appreciaton for the site and get a lot of great comics to boot, now would be the perfect time. Like I said before, I should be able to get orders out in a hurry after I get them, and for the month, I’ll throw in a free comic with any order. And if you like buttons, I get all kinds of buttons from comic people, say the word and I’ll throw some of those in as well. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
Update for 7/5/07
July 5, 2007Well, so much for that idea up updating on the 4th. Today there are new reviews for the last issue of Hillbilly Sex by Nick Jeffrey (really, he’s quitting) and Tick by Kenan Rubenstein.
Update for 7/3/07
July 3, 2007New reviews for Death, Cold As Steel #2 by Bram Meehan & Jamie Chase and Infandum #2 by Molly Lawless. Molly also sent a bunch of books along for the online store: Infandum #1 & 2, Sleepwalker and Great Moments in Baseball #1. Happy 4th, I may or may not review some stuff tomorrow, although I probably will…
Update for 7/2/07
July 2, 2007New reviews for Winter Comic by Sarah Morean and The Horrifically Complete Non-Winner (also available in the online store) by Kelli Nelson. Oh, and I had to fix a few stupid mistakes on the page for Richy Chandler. Whoops!
Update for 6/28/07
June 28, 2007New reviews for Power of 6: The Twisted Apples Part One by Jon Lewis (also scrubbed all the outdated crap off his page) and A Stoopid Pigeon Treasury by Brett Neveu & Richard Sparks.
Update for 6/27/07
June 27, 2007New reviews for Symphony in Ink #2 by Dan Taylor and various eople and Fabricari #2 by Steve Harrison. Many many more new comics for the store today too, all by Christopher Davis: Fish Out Of Water, Crawling, No Buses. Chickens., I Walk With My Wife In The Evening, Why I Never Joined The Strawberry Resistance, Dark Matter Mission For A Cooped-Up Cosmonaut, and True-Size Eyes. I’m shuffling all these in alphabetically (along with the new stuff from yesterday), but it’ll take some time. Of course, you could always just use that handy Search option on the left to look for the stuff you can’t find…
Update for 6/26/07
June 26, 2007New reviews for Half Boy/Half Stupid by Missy Kulik & Rowboat and The Cheapest S.O.B.’s by Kelly Froh.

All comics all the time around here…
Update for 6/25/07
June 25, 2007New reviews for Blink #2 by Max Ink (now in the online store) and Cold Heat #2 by BJ & Frank Santoro.
Update for 6/22/07
June 22, 2007New reviews for The Haunt of Horace #1 by Ken Henson & Mark O’Neill and The Snowman, The Bananaman, The Parking Robot and Me by Christopher Davis. I wanted to make something clear, awkward as it for me to do so. I’m taking some time off for the summer to work on a few things, as I mentioned here a few weeks back. Things are going swimmingly so far, thanks for asking, but the thing is that money is going to be more and more of an issue as the weeks fly by. So, if you’ve ever thought about ordering comics from me but something held you back, the next few months would be an absolutely wonderful time for you to do so. For most of the summer (unless indicated on this page) I’m going to be around town with free time on my hands, so any order that is sent to me will be sent out either the next day or possibly even that day, if it’s sent early enough in the day. Obviously, I haven’t been doing the site for the money (or I would have stopped years ago), but every little bit is going to help a lot over the next few months, and there should be plenty of other new comics coming for the store to go with the new stuff I already got this past week. OK, now I feel dirty for talking about money so much. Have a good weekend everybody!
Update for 6/21/07
June 21, 2007New reviews for Tales of Unusual Circumstance #2 by Joey Weiser and Adolescent by Tony Brandl. Even more new stuff for the store as well, this time Entering Joanne by Angela Stork, Zoomorphic Funnies by Joey Weiser, and Tales of Unusual Circumstance #1, 2 and 3 by Joey Weiser. They’re all getting shuffled into alphabetical order by author, in case you can’t find them in the store for some reason.
Update for 6/20/07
June 20, 2007New reviews for Thunderhead Underground Falls by Joel Orff and A Cappella Volume 2: Open Heart by Christine Pointeau. Oh, and another book for the online store, this time The Wee Days #1 by Jai Granofsky.
Update for 6/19/07

Also three books from Andrew are now in the online store: Ogner Stump’s One Thousand Sorrows: The Book, Ogner Stump’s Automotive Sorrows, and Ogner Stump’s Hawaiian Sorrows. Oh, and the big book is now only a measly $4 instead of the $9 as it was listed. Wotta deal!
Update for 6/18/07
June 18, 2007New reviews today for Lil’ Dude #1 by Randolph Gray II and Captain Spectacular #2 by Nate Corrigan. Oh, and Max Clotfelter was moved up to update the website (so it actually, you know, goes to his website) in case you were wondering why he was up here. Two new comics for the online store too: My Freakish Love and Old School Funnies, both by Doug Gray.
Update for 6/15/07

Cornwell, Chris – Spunj Baahb
June 12, 2007
Spunj Baahb
OK, granted, it’s often bad to judge a book by its cover, but if you can look at that beautiful thing up there and not want to have this immediately, there’s not a whole lot I can say to talk you into it. This is the mostly silent tale of a… creature that looks more than a little bit like a famous cartoon character, seen on every piece of merchandise imaginable over the last five years or so. This creature is riding another underwater beast, but when the riding beast trips, throwing Spunj Baahb off, it sets off a sequence of events with creatures higher and higher up the food chain systematically asserting their will. As always, it’s dangerous for me to venture too far into interpreting exactly what’s happening in these wordless books, but it’s a gorgeous, thoroughly haunting experience, with more than a few of the panels lodged in my brain. This was $4 or $5 at SPACE, find it, buy it, love it, and show it to your young child, niece or nephew if you want this opinion of a popular cartoon character forever altered.
