Francesca starts things off with a story about how awesome it was to go out to a bar with her dad when she was very young, Andrew has a story about a black dog rib that flew right over my head, Rob has a lovely tale involving a black hole and a robot that became a god, John\/Sean has a story about living with a serious regret even though things aren&#8217;t all that bad as they are (probably the highlight of the comic), Paul has an excellent mish mish of family drama, Dave tells the story of a pumpkin competition that goes too far, Pete has a great piece about a grandson being tricked into pursuing a career in science, Sin-Cat (I&#8217;m guessing that&#8217;s the name the creator goes by too, at least judging from the back cover) has another wandering tale that hits and occasionally misses, Jarod deals with his tricky future self, Brad gives us instructions to build our own intelligent robot cubehead, and Barry has a fairly straightforward story about revenge until the ending.\u00c2\u00a0 What else do you want to know?\u00c2\u00a0 Any comic with Rob Jackson, Dave Hughes, John Robbins and Brad Foster gets my vote, and this one has more than a few great stories besides that bunch.\u00c2\u00a0 Buy it why don&#8217;t you?\u00c2\u00a0 $6ish<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/ginpalace22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17620\" title=\"ginpalace22\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/ginpalace22-211x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"211\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/ginpalace22-211x300.jpg 211w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/ginpalace22-721x1024.jpg 721w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/ginpalace22.jpg 1688w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Gin Palace #2 That Rob Jackson, he has to be one of the hardest working guys in comics today.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, small press comics anyway, as those guys with Marvel and DC have a monthly schedule to keep up, but you know what I mean.\u00c2\u00a0 The first Gin Palace was a success, and this one [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[4437,4439,3655,2951,2953,2954,3222,4440,4438,2949,4415,4441],"class_list":["post-17618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-andrew-cheverton","tag-barry-cook","tag-brad-w-foster","tag-dave-hughes","tag-francesca-cassavetti","tag-jarod-rosello","tag-john-robbins","tag-paul-rainey","tag-pete-batchelor","tag-rob-jackson","tag-sean-mac-roibin","tag-sin-cat"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17618"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17621,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17618\/revisions\/17621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
