While trying to ignore the numbers being just barely off, I dive further into the pule to find a series that has been sitting there for close to a year. But this is at least one that I had covered previously, and it’s just as appropriate now as we’re seeing dozens of Christmas in July sales… Continue reading

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #329: Old Possum’s Book of Practical Creatures
I do love a good novella. It isn’t that I want shorter stories, but seeing how an artist works within limited space helps to see the bare essentials of what a good story needs. A graphic novella works well at this length as we’re given more space than a single issue, but just a bit… Continue reading
