  • Webcomics, Part VIII: Sinfest

    Written by Matthew Pardue I had my doubts about reviewing Sinfest. The name alone is pretty incriminating, at least for the sort of audience the University Press mostly aims for. If you just go by the first few years (this is another one of those long webcomics, coincidentally running for…

  • Webcomics, Part VII: Schlock Mercenary

    Written by Matthew Pardue After the last two webcomics, I thought I’d take us back to something with a story. A twelve-year-long story with lots of smaller stories inside it (I promised myself I wouldn’t make an Inception joke). This also marks my first science fiction review (unless you count…

    Some of our visitors probably already know why the Frankfurt Book Fair is such an important event to attend if you’re in the publishing business. Today’s post is to give some background information on the fair itself, and hopefully give our followers a better understanding of this exciting venture. The Frankfurt…

  • Webcomics, Part Error 404–Review Not Found

    Written by Matthew Pardue Yeah, this week’s review isn’t gonna happen, unfortunately. I forgot about another project that just reached my desk; I should’ve planned better and written the review in advance, but this whole procrastination thing has taken me pretty far, so I’m loathed to give it up. Anyway,…
