SHEETS
Cartoonist: Brenna Thummler Publisher: Lion Forge WHAT IS IT? An all-ages ghost story about agency, unexpected connections, and learning to cope with life. WHAT’S IT ABOUT? (Minor Spoilers) Marjorie lost her mother and is helping her grieving father run the family laundromat. She feels like a ghost, ignored and floating through life on a sea of melancholy. Wendell is a ghost. He’s dead and seemingly unable to cope with how he died. Because of this, he’s in a support group for

DEFILING THE LITERATI
Cartoonist: Alex Schumacher Publisher: Self-published WHAT IS IT? As the cover claims, this is a collection of Alex Schumacher's magazine work, each being a socio-political cartoon rarely more than a page or two in length. WHAT’S IT ABOUT? (Minor Spoilers) As stated, Defiling the Literati is less of a comic with an overarching plot, and more of a collection of socio-political cartoons Schumacher has done over the years. They're definitely left-leaning, and many of the one-off

INSTRUMENTAL
Cartoonist: Dave Chisholm Publisher: Z2 Comics WHAT IS IT? A multi-platform experience, the story of a man and a cursed object, accompanied by a jazzy, themed soundtrack. The cursed object story is kind of like Palahniuk's Lullaby or Netflix's Velvet Buzzsaw, but there aren't many comics with their own official soundtracks, or that mess with the mediumm as much as this one does. WHAT'S IT ABOUT? (Minor Spoilers) Tom is...well, he plays the trumpet. Not great. But hey, not ter

ZERO JUMPER
Cartoonist: Patrick Mulholland Publisher: Markosia WHAT IS IT? An epic, sci-fi action adventure series all from the mind of a single cartoonist. It's got the time & space travel aspect of an X-Men arc or Chrono Cross, but the wall-to-wall action and world building of something closer to Ender's Game or Valeria. There's also an aspect of the action film (now TV series) Hanna in there, too. WHAT'S IT ABOUT? (Minor Spoilers) The last human in the universe, Juno, and her robotic

HOCKEYPOCALYPSE, SEASON 4
Cartoonist: Jeff Martin
Publisher: Rent-A-Thug Comics This review covers the latest volume of the Hockeypocalypse series, and I have not covered the first 3 on my site. That being said, Jeff Martin does a fantastic job of catching you up on what you need to know, so you can jump right in without feeling lost. WHAT IS IT? The 4th volume of a fun, humorous, hockey-based sports comic appropriate for all ages. It reminds me of a more family-friendly version of the old Monster Lea

STROPER, ISSUES #1-4
Cartoonist: Eddie Porter
Publisher: Self-published This review covers the first 4 issues of a 10-issue series. We don't get insight into the entire story arc, but we still get a pretty good idea of where it's going. WHAT IS IT? A retro-neo-noir (I know, it sounds crazy, but it works) about one man's revenge for wrongful imprisonment, and the events leading up to it. It's like a limited-cast Firefly meets The Count of Monte Cristo, done in a Blade Runner tone, '80s color and h

ZEN & THE EPHEMERAL, ISSUES #1-3
Creator: Laurence Dea Dionne
Publisher: Self-published WHAT IS IT? This is a regularly updated free webcomic focusing on mental health and wellbeing, created by a single cartoonist doing all the writing, art & lettering. It's difficult to compare it to a movie or TV show, since they tend to dramatize stories around mental health so much. Maybe a toned-down version of Girl, Interrupted, but with spirits? WHAT'S IT ABOUT? (Minor Spoilers) Determined to fight her depression, Moé

GALLANT AND AMOS, ISSUES #1-4
Cartoonist: Rob Barnes
Publisher: Fair Spark Books WHAT IS IT? A humorous, light-hearted adventure tale of two friends, a knight and a dragon, stumbling into adventures and traveling the world. It feels like one of the funnies from the newspaper's Cartoons section, with a Looney Toons influence mixed with the Munchkin board game. WHAT'S IT ABOUT? (Minor Spoilers) Originally started as a webcomic, Gallant And Amos follows two friends as they make their way through a fantasy re
