“There isn’t really anything else out there like Ed Luce’s Wuvable Oaf. Not only does it star one of the most charming and likable gay characters in comics, it also features a cross-section of gay subculture that doesn’t get much play in other media.”

Praise for Black River by Josh Simmons
“There are some seriously disturbing scenes that are made all the more chilling by Simmons’ black and white artwork and the seeming glee he takes in depicting them.

At the same time they appear profound, universal and personal when presented in the sketchbook vernacular of our time.”
