Every
issue PopImage reviews the best complete works in comics, both
old and new.
You can't stop progress, as my grandmother used to say while she
cleaned her Uzi. That's why this month, you'll find something
different here in Reviews. Alongside our usual critiques of fine
complete works such as FROM HELL and HEAVY LIQUID,
we've also decided to sift our way through the avalanche of #1s
which snowed us under in January. Just how promising are these
new series? Worth picking up -- or not even worthy of cat litter?
Find out in FIRST IMPRESSIONS.
Meanwhile, over in ProFile we take a look at some
of the fine work, both art and writing, of the lovely Jill Thompson,
and this month's Popping Cherries is the modern classic STUCK
RUBBER BABY. Check them out. Until next time,
