Mickey Mouse Versus the Mouseton Society of Evil by Nicolas Pothier & Johan Pilet
I am no expert on Euro Disney comics. Fantagraphics has been reprinting what they say are the best of that large universe – and I have no reason to doubt them; publishing programs always try to get the best of whatever – for a decade or more, and I’ve dipped into that sequence here and…

Daredevil: Born Again by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli
I’m sure I’ve re-read this story since 1986. You can’t prove it from this blog, though. And my copy of the trade paperback is the original 1987 edition, with minimal credits and supplemental material, from the era when the Big Two were still figuring out the whole reprint-floppies-in-a-permanent-format thing. (I’m not sure how I can…

The Undertaker, Vol. 1: The Gold Eater & Dance of the Vultures by Xavier Dorison & Ralph Meyer
I try to treat books on the level I find them; it’s only fair. This one is the first of a decent-length series of Western comics by two French creators. It collects the first two, very closely linked books in the series, both originally published in 2015 and translated by Tom Imber for this 2026…

Robots, Demons & Dayjobs by David Kantrowitz
I regularly read books of funny comics by creators I’m not familiar with. This is usually great – new funny stuff! new perspectives! potentially new favorites! – and there are lots of books out there by lots of funny people. But then I come to write about them here, and I worry that I’m saying…

The Complete Hate, Vol.1 by Peter Bagge
There was a time when slackers were hip. Especially young slackers, particularly in Seattle or thereabouts. I don’t know why. I don’t remember the sequence, thirty-some years later – I think it was a “scene” first, even before Nirvana hit big, with breathless media coverage about what all these wacky young people were doing. But…

Shaolin Cowboy: Start Trek by Geof Darrow
There are some creative projects that you’re pretty sure just aren’t for you. Maybe it’s in a genre you know nothing about – and aren’t inclined to learn. Maybe it’s a creator that just doesn’t click for you. Or maybe you know that the project is doing something you’re not really interested in. And then,…

Black Hammer: Spiral City by Jeff Lemire and Teddy Kristiansen
I think this is still the most recent Black Hammer collection; it came out last November. It’s set in the modern day, and does not feature the series main characters – the group of five Bronze Age heroes stuck on an extradimensional farm, like that dog you had as a child that had to go…

The Complete Peanuts, 1957 to 1958 by Charles M. Schulz
I reviewed a lot of the Complete Peanuts series when they were coming out – I bought them all, and read them contemporaneously, but the blog started up in the middle of that timeframe – so there’s already a lot of words on this blog about Charles M. Schulz and his comics. This one, back…
