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."

PANEL: Myth Review and Updates

Last week, Optical Sloth reviewed PANEL: Myth. While I didn't have a story in that issue, I still recommend checking it out. The story I planned for that issue, Wan Hu, the First Astronaut, was eventually published in Jury Rigged Comics #2, available in the shop.

A new page of The Manuscript will be up soon, but in the meantime, here's what you can look forward to in the coming months:

• Jury Rigged Comics #3 is in the works with at least two new stories and maybe a few extras. Look for it in April.
• Also in April will be a fourth edition of Class of 2006. If you'd like to contribute a head shot, drop me a line.
• Tim McClurg, Steve Black, and I are working on Mini Ring King 2 which is planned for April if we can get it all together.
• Finally, if I sit down and write something, I should have a piece in the next Panel anthology, the ninth one.

Reviews

A couple of reviews of our comics were posted recently.

Optical Sloth reviewed Mini Ring King saying "Good stuff overall, worth it just for the pinups if you were a fan of wrestling back in the day, and the stories aren't too shabby either." Read the whole review here (along with other Jury Rigged Comics books).

Size Matters reviewed the third volume of Class of 2006. They enjoyed the art by the members of PANEL: "The student quotes are awkwardly funny, but when you combine them with the headlines and the headshots, each page is solid." Read the whole review here.

Both books are available in the Jury Rigged Comics Shop.
