February 14, 2007Yep, another snow day (the county offices didn’t close, but everything else in the city did so screw ’em), so two more reviews: Faux-Pas #2 by Sam Gaskin and Window #9 by Dave Lapp.

February 12, 2007New review for Absolute Power by Joe Sayers, and most of the things I’ll be yapping about for the next few weeks will be things purchased from the fine folks at USS Catastrophe, in case anybody was curious…

February 5, 2007New review for Panel: Myth by Various folks mostly out of Ohio, and there should be a pile of new comics coming this week, so the updates should be a little less sporadic…

January 30, 2007New review for Chemistry by Steve Peters, and judging by the ratings for that NHL All Star game I think you may be owed a prize from the NHL…

January 24, 2007Odd, my update for Rafer Roberts showed up from Monday, but my comments about it did not. It was a sort of retrospective for the Plastic Farm series so far, for those of you who haven’t already clicked on through and/or are curious what it was doing there. As for today, it’s the first issue of a new series from Larned Justin called 19th Century Detective.

January 22, 2007Sorry about the lack of postings, but comics are still scarce around here at the moment. It did give me time to finally, finally go back and read all the Plastic Farms again though, and get an extended ramble up for #12…

Roman, Dave – Astronaut Elementary Book Two
January 17, 2007
Astronaut Elementary Book Two (#5, 6 & 7) Now Available! $3
Let’s say you’re having a lousy day, and why not? It’s possible, even likely sometimes, depending on your job, social life, the state of the world, all that. I defy anyone to read this collection and still feel lousy. You could flip through these and just read the little blurbs on posters and other items in the backgrounds and be amused, then when you stop to actually read the dialogue, well, your soul would have to be awfully black to not get at least a few dozen chuckles out of this. And sure, it is technically an “all ages†type of book, but unlike a whole bunch of things in that genre, here it doesn’t automatically also mean “stupid to all adultsâ€. Anything but. It’s an introduction to a few more of the students at Astronaut Elementary and their various quests, like destroying a student and the endless harassment by Team Feety Pajamas. We also get to meet the principal and be impressed by his giant sword, watch Spike with his fruitless crushes on the school boys, and see the richest girl in school. All of these things tie together in some ways, or sometimes not, but it’s not really relevant. These are a pure joy to read and I have almost no interest in any sort of a larger story, which is rare for me. Can you tell yet that I’m totally sold on these things now? If you’re a complete cynic, I guess you can skip these, although they may very well cure you. Other than that, there’s no reason in the world not to check them out, and you can get all sorts of free samples on their website if you’re too cheap to actually pay for them…

January 11, 2007New review for Mini Ring King by Sean McGurr, Steve Black & Tim McClurg, which should appeal to all the wrestling fans reading the site. Hey, come back, it’s good besides that fact!
