Reviews

Some summaries of reviews of Jury Rigged Comics and other publications.

Optical Sloth recently reviewed PANEL X and said what we’ve all been thinking: “Well, it's about damned time they got to sex.” About Jury Rigged Comics creators: “Sean McGurr & Tim McClurg have a short anecdote called Third Moon From Endor, only loosely related to sex but the punchline is worth the ride.

Find the full review and reviews of all ten PANEL anthologies on the Panel Anthologies page.

Also catch Optical Sloth’s reviews of Jury Rigged Comics #1 & 2, Class of 2007 books, and Mini Ring King here.

On November 23, Dave Sim reviewed Panel 9 from Outer Space and Mini Ring King. He seemed to like both, saying of the latter “Very nice package, stylish and (as a ring fan in recovery) it attracted my attention.”

A few days later, Sim said about PANEL: Travel, “Those wacky Columbus, Ohio Panel guys get me every time."

SPACE Weekend

This weekend is the SPACE show, a weekend I look forward to every year. In addition to showing off my new books, PANEL debuts a new book (Plan 9 From PANEL), and I get to pick up all sorts of small press goodness. This year, PANEL is also sponsoring a convention party on Saturday night. It should be a good time; Momo2 is a fun place with kareoke, bubble tea, bowling, and pool tables.

I'll be at table 100 with Tim McClurg and Andy Bennett. The rest of the PANEL folks will be all around us. Stop by and say hi!

Comic Space - Jury Rigged

Some how I have avoided the whole social networking Web thing. I don't have a MySpace account. I've never been on Facebook, and I couldn't tell you any of the other popular sites. But earlier this week, I broke down and set up a ComicSpace account for Jury Rigged Comics. I still haven't figured out how I'm going to use it, but having a presence there can't hurt...can it?

Preview: Samurai Pledge
