Erin Schadt anoints True Story Swear to God: This One Goes To Eleven as her Pick of the Month: "There were a few top comics in the running for 'Pick of the Month' for March, but between the This is Spinal Tap reference and the excellent nature of the comic itself, I was forced to pick this trade. I recently folded under 'peer blog pressure' (yeah, that’d be Laura’s constant recommendations) and purchased the first trade. What a wonderful series – it’s the most refreshing comic I’ve read in quite some time. Look for a review of the series on this blog soon. In the meantime, order this second trade. Trust me."
We showed up on another "100 Things I Love About Comics" list.
Greg Burgas fills out a Marvel anthology: "Andrew Boyd and Ryan Yount (I'm sorry, I'm still loving Scurvy Dogs) could get some mainstream exposure."
