TCJ Reviews THE DEATH OF THE MASTER
The Comics Journal reviews Patrick Kyle’s The Death of The Master.
“Even with all of the alternative comics being published today and experiments happening everywhere…it still always manages to knock me on my ass when I read something like Don’t Come in Here, since it absolutely destroyed my idea of what was permissible when creating a comic book. And I am happy to report that all of that continues in, The Death of the Master.” — Mike Kleine, The Comics Journal

STUNT Reviewed!
Daily Grindhouse reviews Michael DeForge’s Stunt.
“DeForge puts on a veritable fucking clinic with this brisk and disarmingly brusque read, our nameless stuntman protagonist voluntarily — hell, contractually — becoming the Hollywood star he doubles for gelling into reality before our unbelieving eyes with a kind of visual erudition that stands in stark contrast to, yet yins to the yang of, the disarmingly matter-of-fact scripting that disguises its sharp precision under a clever, and thin, membrane of sparse, clinical austerity.” — Ryan Carey, Daily Grindhouse
