@Terence_Fuller He has a relationship with Charles Ardai, the publisher of Hard Case and the writer of Gun Honey. He's just helping his friend out. He probably figured no one would notice...

@Terence_Fuller I've liked some Cullen Bunn, especially The Sixth Gun. But I thought this was dreadful. Maybe the main reason I swore off new single issues. Well, this and The Good Asian.

Rust Belt

Two books by Sean Knickerbocker, who might be better known for the anthology he edits, Rustbelt Review. Killbuck is a fine little graphic novel. But Rust Belt is a pretty strong collection of short stories. The stories stay with you. He's a cartoonist to keep an eye on. https://t.co/M6Ly90iuwl

I greatly enjoyed Mikael Ross' book The Thud, and I've been looking forward to reading this book. The two books by Ross that I've read aren't just different, they seem as if they've come from two separate cartoonists. Both of whom are wildly talented. This is a wonderful book. https://t.co/F2m1f9Fmgz

https://t.co/DS5CisZX7j Comic Art Channel does a deep dive into Dog Biscuits by Alex Graham, and shows off some original pages from the book (purchased from @athenaeum_art where else?) If you have any interest in Graham's work, it's well worth a watch.

https://t.co/bqok0YpDZC Here's a short documentary about Scott McCloud's Zot! I enjoyed it. I wish every cartoonist could have something similar made about them.

The Butcher

Another very enjoyable book by Bastien Vives. Responses to my past tweets have made it clear that his stories offend some people... this one will, too, probably. I'd love to read some good writing about his comics. The only review I've read was of The Butchery, his weakest book. https://t.co/DgBjjsy3r3
