New Issue: let's call it "June"

I know I say this every time, but I really like this issue. I like the contributors, I like the variety... heck, as you’ll see from my reviews, I liked pretty much everything this month. Not all my fellow guttergeekers fared quite as well, but everyone found something to like, and that it what keeps us going for another month. Check out the new reviews, send on your thoughts and suggestions (including anything we should be reviewing but somehow seem to be missing).

Next issue will be a July/August funtacular, with yours truly reporting from merry old England, where I will be in residence for a couple of months hosting some very eager undergrads as have their study abroad experience (an increasingly dear experience, with this exchange rate!). I will be doing my own study abroad, catching up on the U.K. comics scene and focusing in my reviews on what is happening in Brit Comics of late. Any of our friends on the other side of the pond, do tell me what I should be looking for (and where in London I should be looking).

New Issue

Today we have posted our new issue after taking a few weeks to reorganize the site from the ground up. The new issue features our usual blend of fawning devotion and snarky contempt (and several gradations in between). Check out the April issue for reviews of Age of Bronze, Three Shadows, Wonton Soup, Misericordia, Atomic Robo, Punisher War Journal, and Ultimates 3, as well as a new feature we are calling #1st IMPRESSIONS, where we read first issues and make totally irresponsible judgements about the as-yet unwritten series. The premiere installment of #1st IMPRESSIONS features premiere issues of Jeff Smith's RASL, Terry Moore's Echo, and David Lapham's Young Liars!

New Look

We decided we had been spending too much time on substance of late, and it was high time to attend to the superficialities. Therefore, at long last, guttergeek has been completely redesigned. Not only do we have a snazzy new look, but we hope you will also find the site much easier to navigate and read (yeah, we got your emails, you big whiners). Let us know what you think!
