New review for Reich #2 by Elijah Brubaker (available in the store), and it’s been a busy week so there might be a few more gaps in reviews but I’ll try and avoid them…

May 21, 2008

Sorry about the lack of updates, getting back to work wore me out a lot more than I thought it would. New review today for Zephyr & Reginald: Minions For Hire #2 by Rick Silva & Gynn Stella, and I plan on doing plenty of reviews over the weekend in my downtime to make up for all the slacking lately…

May 15, 2008

New reviews for two books in the online store, The Drawing Stick by Tom Motley and Bookhunter by Jason Shiga. Oh, and it’s back to work for me next week, so reviews might slow down a bit. Or not. Abnormal posting seems to be the norm around here lately…

Update for 5/12/08

May 12, 2008

New reviews for Jam in the Band Preview by Robin Enrico and Man Man and Friends #3 by Gareth Brookes. Also I got the whole bill for my recent hospital extravanganza and yeah, a fundraiser wouldn’t even scratch the surface. Unless somebody out there wanted to buy a couple thousand copies of the most expensive items in the store, that is. Or unless there’s some fantastically rich person reading this who always wondered about this small press comics world and wanted to order one copy of everything in the store just for the heck of it…

New reviews for The Bizzare Expeditions of Makaveli Hammertoe by Pat McNutt and Tales From the Flat #6 by Laurence Powell & Oliver Lambden. Probably won’t be able to update over the weekend but you never know…

May 8, 2008

New reviews for Boom Fantasy! #1 by Phil Skaggs Jr. and Asymmetrical Opossum by Shannon Smith. Neither of these things are in the online store, but it occured to me that I still have things from SPACE (two months ago and counting), not to mention all the mail I got when I was laid up, so maybe theme weeks are a bad idea for the time being…

New reviews for Let Me Out Of Here by Tom Motley and Reich #1 by Elijah Brubaker, both available in the online store. And what the heck, let’s make it a theme week with all the new stuff in the store, so I can try to keep slightly caught up.

Update for 5/5/08

May 5, 2008

New reviews for Matter Summer Special by Philip Barrett and I: You’re Living in the Past by Eve Englezos and Joshua Moutray, both in the online store. A few new things for the store too: II: No Time Like the Present; III: About Yr Future; and Icecreamlandia #1, all by Eve Englezos and Joshua Moutray. Also everything is in order in the store (except for the stuff today) and, while I’m not going to have a formal fundraising drive or anything, if anybody got it in their head to order a bunch of comics, now would be an excellent time. I now have over 400 comics in the store, so there’s certainly plenty to choose from. Just pointing it out because these appendectomy bills and starting to pile up and I’m starting to wonder if they could just put the damned thing back in if they’d offer a refund…
