It’s hitting all the notes for getting on Publisher’s Weekly Best of 2021 list. Kikou Johnson previous books, but this… it seems so calculated. Eurythmics: TouchĠ4:32: No One Else by R. There’s good stuff in here! Like this Fred Noland thing. But let’s just… guess… Is it because you reach into a different talent pool one that’s already on the intertubes, and are used to putting their stuff on instagram, so the ambitions are already low? Or… is it because there’s nothing financial at stake, so the editors just find it easier to say “yes” to all contributions instead of being the asshole who goes “we don’t have room for that”, and instead pad the book with 150 pages of nothingness? I have no idea what’s up with that why an anthology being financed via Kickstarter should affect the contents. I wonder whether anybody’s done an analysis of kickstartererd (that’s a word) anthologies? They all have the same feeling of … a lack of urgency. Was this book kickstartererd? Yes indeed. It’s like an anthology without editors: It feels like nothing offered was excluded, no matter how tedious. There’s so much stuff in here, and while a sizeable number of the contributions are fine, about half the stuff in here feels so… unnecessary. So this is a collection of punk nostalgia comics? It starts off swell with a great Hyena Hell story…īut then it… tapers off. Joe Jackson: Mike’s MurderĠ2:50: Too Tough To Die edited by Haleigh Buck and J T Yost (Birdcage Bottom) And nothing but 80s music, because it’s that kind of night. I have totally fucked up my sleeping patterns again, so I’m now up in the middle of the night.īut I’ve got candy and comics, so let’s get readin’ until morn.
