The very finest in fake lies, yelling, and jokes that aren't worth the legwork
This is not my usual kind of comic; I’m not generally intrigued by gangs and crimestyles and juvenile delinquency, no Kuwabara stan was I in the springtime of my youth.

AND AS IF YOU HADN’T GUESSED YET, IT’S TIME FOR NEW COMICS! Brought to you slightly late this week because my goddamn cat decided it was time for a medical emergency this morning! In any event: Yes, comics, and quite a few of them this week! Let’s take a look! At some books! A book-look….
WE INTERRUPT THIS GENTLE WEDNESDAY IN ORDER TO BRING YOU A LIST OF NEW COMICS! You may notice that this is significantly briefer and lighter on the details than my previous lists, and that’s because instead of cramming mini-reviews of related comics into these, I’ve started doing mini-reviews of my monthly books-read lists!

Reign Of The Seven Spellblades, Vol. 1 Written By: Bokuto Uno Art By: Sakae Esuno, Ruria Miyuki Okay we all know what comes to mind when Americans think of ‘magic boarding school’, right? That’s right: Neil Gaiman’s The Books of Magic, which was about a dark-haired, bespectacled orphan drawn into a world…
