Laura Sneddon is taking advantage of the last week of the SEQUENTIAL Summer Sale and picking a Top 10, and everyone’s miscreant slime balls the Blobby Boys makes the list! 

“While there are notable influences at play, what separates Schubert’s work from the pack is that it really doesn’t look like anything else – the techniques and thinking are all new, resulting in a comic that leaps from the page to lodge, growling, in your brain meats.” —  Laura Sneddon, comicbookGRRRL

Check out the rest of Laura’s list here and get the Blobby Boys and a number of our other titles at crazy low prices on SEQUENTIAL for a limited time!

“Mighty Star might have been a traditional superhero tale, if it were told in the traditional way.  But stripped of language, it’s instead hallucinatory and associative.” —  David Z. Morris, Creative Loafing

“Like the rest of Blobby Boys 2, [Fashion Cat’s] not exactly subtle, and it’s hard to enjoy unless you have the darkest of dark hearts yourself—but damn, it knows where to stick the knife.” —  David Z. Morris, Creative Loafing

Ahead of the comics star going supernova in San Diego this weekend, The Comics Reporter has a sneak peek at two of our upcoming releases: Cole Closser’s Black Rat and Jane Mai’s See You Next Tuesday!  Check out the previews here!

Rich Barrett selects the most interesting comics of the week for Mental Floss and Dustin Harbin’s new book (which looks good!)  Diary Comics makes the list. 

“Like Beaton and Kolchaka, Harbin’s interesting and insightful perspective on life is what makes these strips so enjoyable—his sharp, self-deprecating sense of humor also helps.” —  Rich Barrett, Mental Floss
