Today’s review is on Odori Park by Chris Watkins. The basic description is that Arisa and Colin are the parents of a toddler named Sprout and own a used bookstore which lets them experience the trials and triumphs of daily life together.

Robot 13 Colossus! by Thomas Hall and Daniel Bradford forebodingly starts out with monsters of legend but soon we find out a little bit about Robot 13’s past. We also learn where he is from, his purpose and how he came to be – or some of it, at least.

This week’s comic under review is the very appropriately named Urban Jungle by David Willborn.

Today’s comic under review is Division and Rush, written and lettered by Todd Allen with art by Scott Bearderstat and published on the ChicagoNow blog. It covers some pretty controversial ground.
I have to start by showing you a quote about the comic. “…Division & Rush is a satire. Using the crime [...]

I’ve seen images online and I picked this issue up so I could see if they managed to capture The Incredibles feel in a comic. Did they succeed?
The verdict: yes and no. The part about translating a moving animation to single frame panels worked very well. Part of that is not only the skill [...]
