Getting back into them is not as bad as I thought it would be. Though, reading out loud is strange, but I have to hear the words in order to get their meaning. I forgot I used to do that. But I have to, otherwise, it can take me two or three times as long […]

James Asmus, Fred Van Lente, & Kano: The Delinquents #2
The premise remains interesting and I’d love to see where the story goes, but there’s just too much nonsense in the way. Same as #1, there were some good one-liners, but the lousy sex jokes including farm work-related puns, sex with a goat, and NAMBLA overshadowed them.

Marvel: Big Hero 6 #4
This issue is like an info dump and feels like I’m listening to sports commentators call the plays while slipping in side commentary as they are wont to do.

Yamashita Tomoko: Don’t Cry, Girl
Don’t Cry, Girl is a laugh-a-minute story about 17-year old Taeko who has been ousted from her parents’ home and sent to live with her dad’s friend, Masuda. Quite literally from the door the hilarity begins. She arrives at his place and he greets her while wearing nothing but a welcoming expression. As any normal […]
Dean Trippe: Something Terrible
On the very short list of people I’ve held near and dear throughout my life, four of them have had to face the type of childhood trauma that’s at the center of this short comic. I was glad to see that this ended on an up note, because not every story does. From the Afterword: […]
