Friday Review: 5,000 km Per Second

For this week's book review, I went on a quest to find something different. And, thanks to the people at Fantagraphics (doing the Lords' work tm), I found 5,000 km Per Second. This comic was written and drawn by Manuele Fior, and was originally published in Italy. So I have to thank Jamie Richards for the translation.… Continue reading Friday Review: 5,000 km Per Second

Friday Review: My Friend Dahmer

I have to say, it took me a surprisingly long time to get to this book. Given that I live in Ohio, I've run into a lot of people who've read My Friend Dahmer, but I myself never picked it up until recently. I'll start the review portion by saying this book is a haunting experience. I… Continue reading Friday Review: My Friend Dahmer

Friday Review: the World of Edena

It's the last Friday Review of 2017, so let's finish up with a bang: Moebius! I've been meaning to dive into the work of Moebius for some time now, but I've had trouble finding some. Then the people of Dark Horse started doing the Lord's work (sorry Fantagraphics), and I found this collected, translated edition… Continue reading Friday Review: the World of Edena

Year of the Cakes-2017

Usually on my blog I like to talk about topics that can be deemed informative in regards to comics. But every now and then I take the road less traveled and talk about ME! And if there's any time to do that, it's now, at the end of the year. I take this time to… Continue reading Year of the Cakes-2017

Friday Review: Shirtless Bear Fighter

This week I take a look at the ridiculously named Shirtless Bear Fighter from Image Comics. You pretty much get what you expect from this one, so let's jump in. Shirtless Bear Fighter is a five issue mini series from Image. So, it was a rather quick read. It was written by Jody LeHeup and Sebastian Girner, with… Continue reading Friday Review: Shirtless Bear Fighter

Friday Review: Pogo

Currently, I'm fighting with the yearly winter illness that finds me in the dark of the night. So, my brain may not be in the best shape for writing; stick with me. This week I'm reviewing Walt Kelly's famous daily comic strip: Pogo. The volume I read was Volume 1 Through the Wild Blue Yonder.… Continue reading Friday Review: Pogo

Friday Review: Lucky Luke-Billy the Kid

In order to prepare for my upcoming western comic, I've been doing a little bit of research. Some of that research was reading this volume of Lucky Luke. This was released as the first volume by Cinebook, the publishing company, but it's actually the 20th Lucky Luke story. I haven't been able to find a… Continue reading Friday Review: Lucky Luke-Billy the Kid

Friday Review: The Fisherman Rumble at Robber’s Reef #1

This week for my comic review, I'm taking a look at The Fisherman. This is a different review for me, because the Fisherman is done by indie comic maker (and fellow Ohian) Aaron Lindeman. Reviewing Will Eisner was a lot of fun, but I'm excited to report on the local indie scene, so let's get… Continue reading Friday Review: The Fisherman Rumble at Robber’s Reef #1
