As the Tsuge library draws closer and closer to its conclusion, with the stories in HE ROLLED ME UP LIKE A GRILLED SQUID the cartoonist both increases his psychological focus and loses his inner sense of purpose. My latest review, for SOLRAD:

I teach comics grad students, and this is a continual and necessary discussion with being a professional artist. Oftentimes the thing that is missed, however, isn't just the contradiction of monetizing our passions, it's squaring the round peg of anticapitalism in our own ethics.

Late to this but it's such a cathartic read. Artists are expected to martyr themselves for comics, and if they get a little too business savvy in a public way, they're a sellout hack tainting the purity of the medium

Mike Mignola is a cartoonist I’ve always enjoyed but rarely managed to be properly excited by. With his latest book, URI TUPKA AND THE GODS, he has finally managed to thrill me, as the mythologizer finally tries to ask what lies underneath the mythology. My latest, for SOLRAD:
