So I’m going on my memory of SPACE (2025, future readers) and I think that I mostly bought this book because Ethan had the worst table in the house and I almost missed seeing it on my way out of the con. I think! As has been established here several times, my memory is crap, so I could be getting him mixed up with somebody else. But if I’m not (and this was my original point, almost completely lost by now), I’m glad I ran into the guy, because this was a really great comic. An old timey mini, with several unrelated short stories in one comic package. With a fancy color cover; bonus points for using that color for an additional color comic on the inside back cover. You can see the story subjects on the cover, but the one with the werewolf women veered off in a wonderfully unexpected direction, the one where a dude woke up one day as Richard Nixon was full of surprises (and had a terrifying ending), and what could have been a grim tale of a young woman finally moving out from under the thumb of her controlling father still had a few laughs in it. Why yes, I do put a lot of stock in being surprised by a story after all of these years, why do you ask? Other stories not mentioned on the cover deal with a woman getting flowers for her husband and coming home at what was clearly an unexpected time, and the secret of one particularly successful major league pitcher. No more details for either, as I’m leaving that to the reader. As far as criticism goes, and this always come from a place of love and hoping for a better comic, but some of the spelling was rough. It happens, sure, but misspelling a story title in particular just looks amateurish. But hey, it seems like he’s really just getting started, so check out his stuff why don’t you? He also has an issue after this one, so he’s moving right along. $8
