Must be something in the water out here. Anyway, this is a collection of stories with a variety of different artists. The first one, Snow Tires (with Leon Briones), is about someone selling his car but trying to keep the snow tires when he sells it. I know, it sounds boring as can be, but it&#8217;s not a bad story. The second is As Seen on TV (with Rich Molinelli), and it tells the story of a young paramedic who gains some unwanted fame by having a rescue on the television show Rescue 911. The last full story is Mentor: What&#8217;s in a Name (also with Leon Briones), which is the story of a young superhero trying to come up with a name and learn the ropes of the business. Then there&#8217;s a tiny, tiny preview of Zero Point (I say tiny because there&#8217;s one page of art and one shrunken page of script) and an essay about his personal history with comics. For a first effort, it&#8217;s not bad. It&#8217;s good, when writing, to use &#8220;it&#8217;s&#8221; instead of &#8220;it is&#8221;, at least every once in a while, just to make it sound like people are really talking, but that&#8217;s a minor quibble. There&#8217;s nothing here to set the world on fire, but there are three solid, interesting stories, so you could do a lot worse. It&#8217;s $2, send Sean <a href=\"mailto:smcgurr@yahoo.com\">an e-mail<\/a> if you&#8217;re interested.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/jury2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"484\" height=\"722\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Jury Rigged Comics #1 Here&#8217;s another first effort from somebody out of Columbus, Ohio.
