Next Review: Ark the Improbable
Sunday, January 27th, 2008Sorry for the delay in the past week folks. I don’t have much to say on it aside from being sick and having lots of snowfall. So moving forward…
Our next review is:
Ark the Improbable
Ark the Improbable is a good example of a the balancing act we play on Caught Stealing Brains. On the one hand, [...]
Review: The Curious Adventures of Aldus Maycombe
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008The Curious Adventures of Aldus Maycombe is one of those comics that I wonder how it slipped my radar for so long. In some ways it is very beautiful, but in others it fails to shine. Still, it came out with a strong start, and this gives it few points to the positive in my [...]
Aldus Maycombe review.
Sunday, January 20th, 2008In visuals, Aldus Maycombe is a very pleasing comic. Beyond that, it still needs some development….but from what I’ve seen, it shows a great deal of promise, and some more time will probably improve it on all fronts. It’s definitely something to keep an eye on.
Artistically, Maycombe is quite nice to look at. The artistic [...]

Monday, January 14th, 2008Hey all. It’s good to see things back on track after our long holiday delay. It seems like it was a successful week, and I am interested in what the future may bring.
With that segue about what is yet to come, the next review is:
The Curious Adventures of Aldus Maycombe
As a comparision to Skin Deep, [...]
Skin Deep Review
Monday, January 14th, 2008As I said earlier, Skin Deep is a comic I saw quickly rise up the ranks on the Belfry’s comic listing website, and everytime I ever went to look at a page there were at least 10 comments for each page. With this review I have again read over the comic, and I believe I [...]
Skin Deep review.
Sunday, January 13th, 2008Skin Deep is a comic about a college student who finds herself in a very unusual situation, of being someone or something she didn’t expect. I thought there were a number of interesting concepts in Skin Deep, and some very nice illustration. However, I think many of the plot elements and characters don’t get much explanation, [...]
Review: Skin Deep!
Sunday, January 13th, 2008You all know the story… Girl has a normal life. Stranger gives girl a mysterious amulet. Girl puts on amulet and turns into a member of long-thought-deceased mythical race.
Happens every day, right?
Well, I can’t say that Skin Deep has the cleanest art or the most intriguing story I have ever read, but then, if I [...]
Next Review: Skin Deep
Monday, January 7th, 2008So, Happy New Year everybody. I know that seems a week late, but things seemed to have really been put on hold for the holidays around here. There is quite a bit of news around these parts, in case you haven’t been reading the forums.
First off, with great disappointment I must say that Kaj has decided [...]
Stick figures everywhere!
Monday, January 7th, 2008Order of the Stick, at first glance, might seem like it’s all about D&D, and would thus be impenetrable to those unfamiliar with the game. As someone with some knowledge of D&D (but not a great deal), I didn’t have any trouble following along, but I also think the comic isn’t that hard to access. [...]
Review: Order of the Stick
Sunday, January 6th, 2008For what it appears to be on the surface, Order of the Stick delivers a more interesting storyline than one might expect. However, I also feel like the comic might be lacking a certain quality that keeps me from enjoying it more. Compared to other DnD inspired comics, it is somewhat forgettable. Yeah, I know [...]
