5ideways Review.
Monday, November 5th, 20075ideways is a comic about the world gone wrong, as the laws of physics are completely altered in unpredictable ways. My immediate impression of 5ideways was that it had a lot of potential. But after finishing the comic thus far, I think there hasn’t been much use of that potential, and I can only hope [...]
A review of 5ideways
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007As a self professed study of the surreal and macabre, a comic like 5ideways bearing both of these aspects should appeal to me more than not. Indeed, trippy psychedelic art and a spatially distorted setting are typically thumb’s up in my book. But there is a limit on how much a person can go with [...]
It’s like Abian meets Rice Boy…
Monday, October 29th, 20075ideways is an exercise in surrealism, but it takes a much darker and grittier angle than other comics in the same vein.

A priest hunting demons and yet being changed by a good “demon” [...]
My opinion of Abian.
Thursday, July 12th, 2007My first impression of Abian was that it would be another comic about an antihero, a priest who dealt out what he saw as God’s Justice to unrepentantly evil creatures. Something that might work, but also a very used idea at this point. Certainly, having a gun with “God Loves You” and “Pray for Salvation” [...]
Abian Review
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007After reading the entirety that’s up at this point, I am left to think Abian is an interesting little comic and I don’t regret reading it. There’s something about Abian I can’t quite put my finger on exactly, but if I have to try, I’d say that it embodies a strong sense of contrast with [...]
Abian: Xenix-style
Monday, July 9th, 2007As usual, this review seems to contain spoilers and, well, I don’t want you to read them by accident! .. that and I like making people click links… : )
