New review for Odd Jobs #1 by Eric H., and I haven’t vanished completely. Sorry about the lack of updates over the weekend, but I did manage to update a few things: that is my actual home address on the right (so send your comics now!), the stupid double shipping charge for comics ordered is gone, and even tinier things have been addressed. There are bound to be a few big changes over the next few weeks, so if you’re one of those people who is terrified of change of all kinds then you might want to just come back in a 3-6 weeks when everything is settled.

February 4, 2010New review for another very old book, this time Deep Girl #1 by Ariel Bordeaux. I haven’t looked at her page here in ages, and saw that I promised a real review for No Love Lost years and years ago. Maybe I will get around to that one of these days, but it’s funny to see how often I did that and then forgot all about it. Well, funny to me anyway…

February 3, 2010New review for another oldie, this time From The Curve #7 by Rob Ullman. I’m doing a bunch of reviews before I move at the start of the month and this is one of them, so I’m just going on faith that the world is still going to be here by Wednesday.

February 2, 2010New review for one more old comic, this time Jape #1 by Sean Bieri. If anybody out there knows of a place to actually buy any of these old minis that I keep mentioning, I’d love to hear about it. For the time being, consider it a preview of the rental program that is coming soon, at least assuming that at least some of the people who made these comics would be OK with it…

February 1, 2010New review for yet another old comic, this time Double Cross #12 by Tony Consiglio. Like I’ve said, at the very least this exercise in nostalgia has let me update the contact information for a lot of pages that have been dormant for far too long. Now if I could only find an easy place to order these oldies, if such a place exists…

January 30, 2010New review for another old comic: Boom Boom #2 (mini comic version, not the full sized series) by Dave Lasky. You should really hop in that time machine and check it out.

January 29, 2010New review for Crass Sophisticate #23 by Josh Reinwald & Justin Rosenberg and yes, this is another new comic. Have I mentioned that if anybody in Columbus needs a computer desk, couch, chairs or a table that they should probably contact me? Probably a bit late for that by now…

January 28, 2010New review for My Cat is Satan by Edgar Castro, and it’s also newly available in the store. Reviews may start getting dicey around here soon, as I have to be out of here by the end of the month. The plan is to get a few prepped and ready to go before I leave (as now that I’m reviewing old stuff too I’m not at a loss for material), but we’ll see how it goes.

January 27, 2010New review for The Pyramid by Kenan Rubenstein, a newish comic, not one of the many oldies I’ve been posting lately. As I keep flipping back and forth in time, I feel it necessary to keep pointing it out. Or maybe I’m just trying to get in the mood for the last season of Lost…

January 26, 2010New review for another very old mini comic, as this time its The Ditch The River The Sea The Snake by Tom Hart. Hey, even if you don’t like these old reviews (I’ve been having a blast), at least I’m finally updating some of the contact information for these people. Tom’s page has had a dead website listed for ages, but no longer!

January 25, 2010New review for another old comic, You’re Young It’s Dark Your Bladder’s Full by Colin Upton, who should have had his own page on this site years and years ago.

January 24, 2010The great comics dust-off of ’10 continues, as the new review today is for Magic Whistle #1 by Sam Henderson. The mini comic, not the one put out by Alternative books, because I really have been reading these things that long.

January 23, 2010New review for Hoax #2 by Karl Kressbach and all sorts of other people, and it’s available in the store if you’re interested. I was also able to locate a website for Brad Johnson, the review for the comic from 1983 posted on Thursday (thanks Gabrielle!), so if you’d like to read some free comics from the man, you should go back to his page and click on that website link.

Update for 1/21/10
January 21, 2010New review for the oldest mini comic yet: Itchy Scaly #2 by Brad Johnson. And if you have any contact info for Brad Johnson, I would love to see it. This was made in 1983, back in the good old days when Reagan beat communism up with his bare hands and there were no Transformers in the world. It did make me think of something that I’m not sure how to deal with in regards to the comic rental idea: how do I compensate people that I either can’t locate or who may well be dead? The general idea is to compensate every creator (who wants it) around $.04 per rental. But one of the main ideas behind this rental thing was exposing people to books they wouldn’t otherwise be able to see, and this certainly qualifies. Would you say that I shouldn’t rent this without express permission? Say it’s OK because the comic is probably older than most of you are? Rent it and just pay the man if he ever hears about it? I’d love to get some opinions on this, because it’s a problem that will come up again and again, especially when you consider all the people who make comics for a few years and just disappear.  Thoughts?

January 20, 2010New review for The Regular Man #5 by Dina Kelberman, which you can get for free if you’re one of the next three people to order comics from my store. You will also, as I’ve mentioned, be helping my back out with my upcoming move, as every little bit of weight I’m not lugging around helps.

January 19, 2010New review for another old comic, this time Supermonster #7 by Kevin Huizenga. These are the types of comics, in case it isn’t obvious enough, that I hope to have available in this rental system I’m putting together.

Huizenga, Kevin – Supermonster #13
January 19, 2010
Supermonster #13
There are a few great strips in this one, like I’ve come to expect out of all of these. I’m not here to talk about them. This issue contains the best story I’ve read all year, called (I think) “I Stand Up for Zen”. See, he used to have a job where he had to type ad copy, and his boss wanted to use the phrase “fashionably zen” to describe some shoddy bracelets that they were selling. Kevin had a major moral problem with that, and that’s all you’re getting out of me. It restored my faith in humanity, and I’m saying that without a trace of sarcasm or irony. My shitty Tuesday afternoon turned into the best week I’ve had in a while, and I owe it mostly to reading this story. Buy it. It you don’t like it, let me know and I’ll pay for it. Fair enough?

January 18, 2010New review of an old mini comic again, this time Memory Palace of Rocket by Scott Mills. I’ll make the request again: I’m moving at the end of the month, so if you want to send me comics for review or order some from the store, it’s better to do both of those things sooner rather than later. I’ll still be able to fill orders, but February looks like a couch-squatting, house-sitting kind of a month before I find a new permanent home in early March.

January 15, 2010New review for Marked #1 by Brian John Mitchell & Jeremy Johnson. Yes, this violates my rule of only having one book from a person on the front page at any given time, but it was just sitting there staring at me, and have I mentioned how I’m out of new comics, and it’s Friday night and get off my back already!

January 14, 2010New review today (for a new book, I realize it might be getting a little confusing) for Nathan and the Land of the Robots by Matt Dye, which is also newly available in the store. I should also mention that I’m moving at the end of the month, so if you have stuff for review you should send it by the end of the week. Also if you want to buy some comics, just think: your order may clear just enough weight from my comic boxes to prevent some sort of serious back strain during the move. Think of all the good you could do!
