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.

Harrison, Steven C. – Fabricari #3
June 8, 2007
Fabricari #3
This time around, in trying to figure this book out, I decided to spend some time at the Fabricari website. It turns out that Steven is pretty much sick of the whole cyborg idea (this comic did come out in 1999, after all) and is hoping to work on different things in the future. Huzzah for him, because this comic doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. This is the dullest issue yet, as there’s just not much going on. The cyborgs from the first issue get pieced back together, Myron continues to try to avoid getting killed (and ends up fighting with his friends much more than his enemies), and the side story with the Queen and the Prime Minister has already become tedious. It’s an OK story as a whole that might have gone somewhere with years of work, but it looks like he’s already burned out on the concept. Which is fine by me, as the man has some serious skill as an artist and I would love to see him tackle different ideas. There’s still enough here for people who love fighting robots to be interested in (and something that looks suspiciously like a graphic novel of this material at his website), otherwise I’d recommend waiting to see what else he has up his sleeve. $2.50

May 30, 2007New review for Bighead by Jeffrey Brown. I also have some news about the website today, so gather round. I’m taking a few months off of work to try out a project at home, meaning that I’ll have a lot more time to organize things around here, tweak a few things that need tweaking and listen to any suggestions you guys might have. I’m also going to try to get a whole bunch of new stuff in the online store, so if you’re reading this and would like to sell stuff through me, let’s talk. I’m thinking that the usual daily routine for updates will stay about the same (barring days like yesterday where I skipped out, of course), but I might bump things up to two reviews a day if the comics keep coming. Just throwing all this out there for anybody interested in the “behind the scenes” goings on…
