I have fun rambling about comics, sure, and I like to think that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m at least giving enough information away about something to make people interested in a book, but the way this guy writes reviews\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s informative, funny, and intelligent without crossing that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Comic\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Journal\u00e2\u20ac\u009d line of being overwhelmingly pretentious at times. Granted, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still not a magazine that any random person could pick up on my coffee table and enjoy, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s impossible to make a magazine about comics that fits that criteria. Looks like this issue finally got printed, which is great news, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s $6. In here are plenty of reviews that put the words on these pages to shame and two hugely entertaining interviews, especially when you consider that I knew nothing at all about Hans Rickheit and Paul Pope before this. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also a section where readers weigh in on the most interesting person in comics, and did I mention the reviews?
