Hey, it's a Saturday and I got some stuff to tell you about. At the start of the year I set out to blog more and written anything since. But I'm here! Lots of cool people have cool comics coming out - including me! There's lots of other cool indie goodness so hit the jump to see what's been going on this week.

The World Has to Know About This Yo-Yo Book
It has been over two and a half years since I reviewed a comic. Every since then, my Review Policy has warned creators not to send me their comic for review unless it was the best comic released in two and a half years. Since then I've basically retired from blogging, only popping in a few times a year. But that's going to change in 2024. Because the world has to know about so many comics, games, and more. Because the world has to know about this yo-yo book.

A month later, the second issue isn’t in stock. You ask the owner and check online and discover the dark truth: there is no #2. The issue you read is the first and only issue in the so-called series. You go home, stare silently into the mirror, and ask yourself: "What the hell?"

More Comics For Kids
Way back in 2019 I wrote this guide recommending some comics for kids. Every now and then I'd go back and update it by expanding titles I finally read or outright removing titles that weren't comics in the first place. Well things have happened in my life and suddenly I am way more savvy when it comes to comics for kids, so here's a bunch more.
