Null and Void #3

Another solid issue, this one is basically a day in the life of all the main characters, focusing on classroom problems and dealing with members of the opposite sex in high school. Don’t get me wrong, there are some points in these books where it gets kind of silly, but overall I think he’s on to something. There certainly aren’t many other people out there covering the high school niche. The bit with the “don’t throw away” note was hilarious, as were several of the conversations in the school. In other words, it’s worth sending him some money (they’re $1.50 per issue) to check it out. Send him some money at: 3209 Eastland, Muskegon, MI 49441.

If this was a world where everybody read comics, this would probably be one of the more popular things read by kids in high school. Unfortunately, the print run for every mini comic is tiny and I’m not sure where Donovan finds his audience. It’s a good series, about some freshmen in high school and their activities. This one is all about a party that an older classmate sneaks them into. It makes a lot of good points about drinking without getting too preachy and the dialogue is natural and believable. All ages fun. The poor guy doesn’t have much of a sense of comics history though, thinking that Alex Robinson was the first person to use the question and answer concept with his characters to flesh them out a little bit. Poor Dan Clowes is rolling over in his grave…
