A tale of responsibility and loss; Tim and Mulele discuss Burden by Cole Munro-Chitty.

Sales of digital comics have grown by leaps and bounds the past couple of years. Interestingly, this hasn’t hurt sales of paper comics, and may even have helped it. But is buying these comics really “buying” them? What considerations go into the pricing of them? What other issues, such as digital rights, still remain to […]

Mulele bought a print comic from one of his favorite online artists, the mysterious creator of the Tanglefoot page on Tumblr. The comic, Dime a Dance, is a fun silent story with dynamic art. Too bad it doesn’t have more room to breathe. Tim and Mulele also look at: Number 13 issue 0, by Robert […]

After Jeff Smith finished his fantastic all-ages series Bone, he went a completely different direction with his next series: a noir/sci-fi hybrid called RASL. It’s a great story on a human level, but it also gets into quantum physics, the lost journals of Nikola Tesla, and and some real-life pseudo-science conspiracy theories like the Tunguska […]

Kumar and Dana take on the task, with special attention paid to Black Dossier (and the record that was recorded for it), the […]

FLASHBACK! Leading into tomorrow’s look at ALL the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen books, we look back to this early episode, in which Tim, Mulele, and Brandon talk about the merits — or, in Brandon’s view, lack of merit — in League Volume 2. That is, once they’re done going down the Star Wars rabbit hole. […]

A new superhero team comes together. But why, and how were they recruited? Tim and Mulele look for answers as they critique Dan Sehn, Arley Tucker, and Alex Garcia’s Argo 5 #1!

Jim Woodring doing kids’ books!? That was apparently the thought behind Trosper, a 2001 release from Woodring that came with a Southwest Asia-influenced music CD by Bill Frisell. A baby elephant-like creature runs from things that go bump in the night. Maurice Sendak would be proud. Going further back, Daniel Clowes’ early ’90s comedy/nightmare graphic […]
