I battle cancer at my day job, and write about comics & women's college basketball at night. I have a beautiful & whip-smart wife and a baby girl who was just born. I will happily review any comics sent to me. I especially like to review minicomics. Contact me at tmc [at] duke [dot] edu for my address. See more at High-Low.

He is the writer of the crime caper The Mercy Killing, the autobiographical Silicon Valley Blues, and the family drama Blood Orange. He’s written reviews for Hijinx Comics, Savant Magazine, and The East County Californian Newspaper. He’s one of those weird people who loves public speaking and guest lectures on Comic Book History & Script Writing. In addition to reviewing small press titles and mini-comics at Poopsheet Foundation, he blogs frequently at 13 Minutes and is currently the Chief of Security at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

I started reading self-published comics and zines in the late 70's. I love the creative freedom and passion that is so much a part of these things. It's exciting. When I review them I try to keep that perspective in mind. My reviews aren't critiques. My editorial comments focus on the things I like about the work. I try to provide an accurate description of the contents, credits, cost, and contact information; and enough sample artwork so you can decide for yourself if you want to buy it. I review small press comics for Midnight Fiction, Poopsheet, and Comic Related.

Rob McMonigal
I'm an avid reader of just about any kind of comics, but I tend to read mostly smaller press and self-published work these days. I grew up with Spider-Man, black & white movies, and old TV shows, which explains a lot. I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with my wife and too many cats. I write a review for everything I've read since April 1, 2006. You can see my other reviews at Panel Patter.

Robert Newsome
...has been involved in self-publishing for longer than he cares to admit. He's on the board of directors of the FLUKE mini-comics and 'zine show that happens every year in the best city in the world, Athens, Georgia. He'll tell anyone who'll listen about how he believes he's personally responsible for the recent resurgence in popularity of the Marvel Comics character MODOK. Luckily, there are very few people willing to listen to him.

Alan Rankin
Alan Rankin is a writer, photographer and comics creator based in Texas. His comics and comics journalism have appeared in Comic Effect, Not My Small Diary, Watusi the Talking Dog, Ritro.com and the original print and web versions of Poopsheet.

He is currently working on his first graphic novel sized collection called Sleepwalker. Shannon has been blabbing on and on about comics for years and currently blogs about minicomics at fileunderother.blogspot.com and other nonsense at shannonsmith.net.

I don’t mean to nitpick, but if you’ve been reading my reviews for a while here at Poopsheet Foundation, then you know that I can be a stickler for proper grammar and punctuation. There are many elements of The Wang that I did enjoy, but some of…
