Have you seen it yet? It might be our most impressive package in our 30-year-history. Here's an early review from Comic Mix.

And don't forget editor Todd DePastino's Virtual Book Signing tomorrow.  

I was really hoping this was a review of a porno adaptation of Ghost World. "In short, Touch World is a pile like life." 

This is an amazingly thorough and well-written excavation of the last five or six issues of MOME. Thank you, Mr. Clough!

 

Steve Duin of The Oregonian has the first review of Bob Levin's Most Outrageous: The Trials and Trespasses of Dwaine Tinsley and Chester the Molester that I've seen, and I couldn't agree with it more. 

One of my favorite books we published this year was PERCY GLOOM by Cathy Malkasian. Jog writes a very nice review of the book here, and if you haven't seen PERCY yet, check it out.

Spurge points out that "Shelf Life," Marc Sobel's in-depth, issue-by-issue examination of Love and Rockets Vol. 1 at Sequart, has entered its second half, with the latest installment featuring issue #26.

I have no idea who Luke Maxwell is, and I'd be hard-pressed to say he has any real talent for cartooning, but this comic strip, titled "My Crazy Dad!" is nonetheless one of the best comics I've read in while and I crave more. I've read it at least three times now since my pal Jason Grote first tipped me to it.
