ICYMI: Small Press Comics Criticism and Whatnot for 7/3/16 to 7/9/16

Daniel Elkin
July 12, 2016
ICYMI, Small Press

Highlighting some great small press comics criticism being published, as well as other random things that have caught my eye over the past week.

(Note: I was off grid for most of this week, so this list was compiled last minute and I’m sure I missed a bunch of great stuff)

COMICS CRITICISM

  • Greg Hunter’s review of Rebekka Dunlap’s DREAM TUBE tries to break down this really complex set of stories by framing each of them into what they are reminiscent of.
  • John Seven reviews Sophie Campbell and Erin Watson’s SHADOWEYES which he calls “one of the most enlightened comics” he’s had “the pleasure of reading”.
  • Hillary Brown reviews Tony Millionaire’s MAAKIES: DRINKY CROW DRINKS AGAIN and I’m pretty sure she liked it?
  • You know I’m rushing through this list when I include Nick Gazin’s COMIC BOOK LOVE-IN — really obnoxious writing about some great books. Think of this as “exposure” to what not to do, and my promise never to link there again.

WHATNOT 

  • Alex Dueben has this really interesting conversation with FRANK VIVA about his new book, Sea Change
  • Rachel Davies interviews JULIA GFRöRER about context, collaboration, and working with themes
  • Chase Magnett answers the question: “WHAT MAKES BATMAN V SUPERMAN A BETTER FILM THAN CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR”
  • Ray Sonne chooses three women writing INSPIRING AUTOBIO COMICS
  • Ijeoma Oluo’s WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO CHALLENGE THE POWER OF GATEKEEPERS
