With the news that Faith Erin Hicks is getting close to completing a new graphic novel, The War At Ellsmere, it might seem odd to be running a review of her previous graphic novel, Zombies Calling.  Really I should have reviewed this when it came out last fall from Slave Labor Graphics or more recently when it won a Joe Shuster award for Hicks (although I did get a chance to interview Hicks right after that news came out so I guess I'm not a complete slacker.)  But you know what, I'm doing it now.  So um, there!  I mean over there... look over there!

Oh, you're still here I see.  I guess a little bit of Grover-style misdirection isn't going to work with you, is it?

I've had You So Loco: the Second Crying Macho Man Collection book by Jose Cabrera to read and read again this summer and it's about time I get on my ass and write the review for it.  I interviewed Jose Cabrera about his comic earlier this year and my impression of his work hasn't changed much.  He likes to take bits of pop culture (and political figures as well) and mix them up, usually with a visual pun.
