This page holds an archive of my comic book reviews for
roughly the past year (or more...I've decided to stop erasing the older ones
and changed my filename conventions to make this less of a hassle). The
originals are posted to rec.arts.comics.reviews on Usenet newsgroups, and
some time between Wednesdays I throw in some minimal formatting and link the
file in here. Most of the time these will be spoiler-free "Capsules", but
once in a while I'll go whole-hog on a review.

2009 - NEW!
A listing of what I considered to be the best comics of the last few years,
these are all the titles that got a "Strongly Recommended" or better rating
in my reviews at the time, with all the biases that implies.
Current Month's Rants
Comics of note (Strongly recommended or better, usually) will be in
boldface, with an asterisk if they're Strongly Recommended. While
most of my reviews are spoiler-free capsules, the occasional full review will
be underlined. For non-comic or otherwise "not available at the comic
shop" stuff, there's the "Other Media" category, in purple text. Books I got after their theoretical release
week (or before) for whatever reason will be in italics.

Rant Archives
This is where older Rants will go to keep the main page from getting
cluttered. Only the files from March 2007 onward will be here, but searching
Google Groups for Dave, Rant and the title of the comic you're interested in
will usually do pretty well, assuming I reviewed the book.
