Pokeweed review
January 27th, 2011 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Today’s review is on Pokeweed, by Drew Pocza. It’s black and white with intresting but structurally simple lines. There isn’t a lot of texture to the backgrounds but there isn’t a lot needed, so that works for me. The artist prefers a less-is-more approach that pus the focus on the characters. [...]
Silent Interlude review
January 21st, 2011 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? So I had wanted to get another look at the G.I. Joe “Silent Interlude” story where no one spoke. I wanted to see what techniques were used and what I could learn. It seems to me that if one can write comic that works without words then it will be a [...]
The King! Issue 2 Review
January 2nd, 2011 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Today’s review is on The King! Issue 2 by Bradford and Hall. The scene opens with Elvis talking about his last zombie conquest to the bemused woman behind the bar. This threw me for a minute till I realized this is The King. Last issue, he was not what I’d call [...]
The Dream Quest of Randolph Carter review
December 31st, 2010 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? The Dream Quest of Randolph Carter is a webcomic by Charles Cutting, edited by Natalie Cutting and hosted by The Illustrated Ape. It’s a man’s journal which was later picked up by his grandson and later finished. It uses one of my favorite techniques – a scratchy pen work along with [...]
Mal and Chad review
December 5th, 2010 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Today’s comic under review is Mal and Chad by Stephen McCranie, a black and white newspaper style four panel gag strip. Unfortunately, it’s come to an end with online updates but is available in book form The Biggest, Bestest Time Ever. There seems to be a children’s comic book or another [...]
LEHOisms review
November 25th, 2010 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? I’m not entirely sure how to describe LEHOismby Lehoo (Leo Horovitz.) This comic is an absurdist, single panel comic in flat colors and penwork with a smidge of forced perspective from time to time. It also reminds me of the sort of thing you’d see in a sketchbook – if the [...]
The Tale of Aeria
November 6th, 2010 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Today’s review is on a black and white manga called The Tale of Aeria by Fabian Rastorfer and Songwut Ouppakarndee. If you like manga and pirates, you’ll like this comic. Of course, you need to remember to read it right to left while appreciating the wild expressions and punchy dialog. The [...]

October 23rd, 2010 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Integration This week’s review is on Integration, a photo comic written by Katherine Holt, image work by Nicholas Dishington with assistance by Scott Murray and modeling by Heather Pandora. Some folks may dispute use of the term comic when dealing with photos but it’s a sequential progression of still images that [...]
The Peanuts Collection

As you can see from the image below, the book is in color, with extras like prints, animation cels, stickers, [...]
The King review
September 29th, 2010 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? This review is on King! by Thomas Hall and Daniel Bradford. It’s about The King taking care of business, as you would hope and expect. And it’s better than that. The King’s story is that he is an undefeated, former pro wrestler who kills monsters for cash. He is contacted by [...]
Multiplex: Enjoy Your Show review
September 26th, 2010 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Gordon McAlpin sent me a copy of Mulitplex: Enjoy Your Show to look over. I’ve already done two reviews on the comic, and my opinion remains the same as the last review. That is, I found it entertaining and worth reading. Now, I’m not a big movie goer and I would [...]
