C.I. reviews - Oct / Nov
Comics International will be bringing out a special edition for the Brighton comic expo (being held mid november). They've asked reviewers to contribute a longer than usual review of their favourite comic of the year. I've cheated a bit, in that I've chosen something that is a graphic novel and it isn't small press (which is the section I normally review.) But to be honest, my favourite thing this year has been Earthboy Jacobus by Doug TenNappel. Close runners up would be Superf*ckers by James Kochalka and (if you consider that the collected edition was released this year) New frontiers by Darwyn Cooke. There are probably some other amazing comics that have come out this year, but I won't remember about them until after the things gone to print. And then people start e-mailing me to ask why I didn't choose their comic....
Speaking of e-mails, anyone wondering what's been reviewed, in C.I.'s Oct issue, I have reviewed Paper Tiger comix issue 2 and There's no time like the present by Paul Rainey.
There should be an interview here with Paul soon,hopefully.
