So, to recap, a few of my blogger pals seem to think they go "from the comp list to the shit list" if they give one of our books a "bad" review. Not at all. Leaving aside that I personally don't think there's any such thing as a "bad" review, because somebody new somewhere is going to be aware of the book when it gets reviewed, so that's good. But a well-written review is a well-written review, whether the reviewer enjoyed the book or not. The only time I get prickly is when somebody makes personal insults, because that's not a professional review, it's playground taunting. And we're Making Comics Better over here, not throwing snowballs with gravel in 'em, you know? So review away! If you don't like one book, you'll probably like the next one.
Johnny Bacardi takes a look at Channel Zero, Jennie One, and Come in Alone, which he loved, and Planet of the Capes, which he didn't. That's it, Johnny B! YOU ARE DEAD TO ME!
Ooops. Heh.
Ken Lowery is not dead to me (c'mon, and neither is Johnny B; I'm just joshin'), as he turned his critical and still unjaundiced eye upon the wonder that is Jax Epoch and the Quicken Forbidden, just in time for me to tell him the second volume will be out in September. So it's a short wait for the next honkin' piece of goodness from Dave and John.
