LOVE, enJOY & Braaaains!
From buying decision to increased reading enjoyment, reviews are a critical part to the overall “Comic Book Hobby”.
To that end, it has been a while since I have been able to sit down and review comics. It is sad that something that brought me so much joy, quickly became too overwhelming and more “work” than “pleasure”… Reviewing comics is something I genuinely enjoy. Period. I want to make sure it is still a part of my life, but not something that I continually have to put on the back burner…
So, in the past few months that I have been “too busy to review”, I have racked my brain to find a way to keep reviewing AND feel less overwhelmed by everything in my life… I think I have found my answer.
____________________________________________
The format of these reviews includes the following:
- Cover Image for the Comic’s Issue
- “Out of 5” Rating
- Recommendation
- Quick, Clear and Concise Review of the Issue (no more than a paragraph)
NOTE: These reviews will complement the “Out of 5” segment on the ongoing Stacks of Comics Podcast. :)

The Re+Launch begins today!
