Phil's Reviews — Stuff I Bought #144

Beasts of Burden #2 (of 4) — Writer: Evan Dorkin;  Art: Jill Thompson As I said in reviewing the first issue of this, you’d think that a comic about dogs (and a cat) solving supernatural crimes in a leafy little suburb would be too cute for words — but you’d be wrong.

As for the art, it’s … Continue reading →

You’d … Continue reading →

Getting of My Duff #39

Posted on October 20, 2009 by Alan

Hey Gang, We’ve got some real specials to tell you about this week, so let’s get right to it! The “Kryptonite” wall will be dismantled soon, so we’d really like to move the gorgeous Superman cape we’ve had in stock for some time. Mention reading about this on the blog this week, and the cape is yours for 50% OFF! Just think how nice you’d look in this on October 31st! We’re also looking to add some room to our Trade Paperback shelves, and the only area we could possibly add here is with what is currently the Manga shelf. … Continue reading →
