Reviews

[Michael · Rating 3 out of 5]

The SPX anthology has several very strong contributions (the stand-outs being Scott Morse, as always, and Jesse Reklaw, with a surprisingly touching art spiegelman riff) and lots of mediocre stories, as is the case every year.

But the proceeds benefit the CBLDF, so I buy it every year no matter what. The good comics inside are just a bonus to the cause that I'm supporting.

There's a few duds but mostly great comics
