Coverless Reviews –
“Here’s two anthology issues featuring a variety of writers and artists, from the mainstream and well known, to the very alternative and obscure telling largely poignant stories about issues of bullying. Most comic fans are aware of names like Marc Guggenheim, Howard Chaykin, Marc Andreyko, Sina Grace & Chris Roberson, but there are many other writers and artists involved in these two issues that grabbed my attention with their work here.” Read the whole review on Coverless Reviews
Sequential Tart –
“’Discombobulated’ is set at a science fair at a school for super-genius kids. After the judge disses one too many of the projects presented by the students, one of them gives the judge a good schooling on encouraging kids instead of demeaning them and their efforts. It just made me want to stand up a cheer.” Read Patti Martinson’s whole review on Sequential Tart
