"This is a really solid mini... has variety, a couple of surprisingly dense stories (especially considering the format), and a few laughs." from a lovely review by Optical Sloth for our minicomic Four Stories. Enjoy:)

Four stories? In an eight page comic? Who would have thought that such a thing was possible? Granted, two of the stories are only a single page, but it’s still impressive. This is a really solid mini, and it even ends with a nice little update to the first story, which features a grimly realistic ...

"With this issue I’m halfway caught up to what’s out there already (I just saw #14 listed on his website) and thoroughly hooked." from Optical Sloth's kind review for issue 7 of Plastic People. Check it out!

This time around we finally get to spend some time with the family of the murdered woman, and can I just say that this format is finally growing on me as a way to tell this story? Sure, you’re only getting a fragment of the big picture each time, but it’s a self-contained fragment, and it’s cl...

Great review for Plastic People and a few of our other mini-comics!

I got another stack of amazing mini comix form Brian Canini. His mini comics are like modern Sci Fi tales like Black Mirror.

"another solid issue" from Optical Sloth's review of the sixth issue of Plastic People. Check it out!

Would it be cheating if I started reviewing these issues two at a time. It feels like cheating. But what would I be cheating, exactly? Ah, the deep questions that go on in the mind of a reviewer who’s several issues behind of a series that comes out faster than I can review. In this issue we see a...

"...a thoroughly realistic imagining of how this world would handle a problem like this." from Optical Sloth's review of the fifth issue of Plastic People. Check it out!

Some good news for those of you who like their comics in bigger installments: Brian has been selling compendiums of three issues each on his website. So instead of an 8 page installment, you get a 24 page installment and even save a buck! Wow, did that ever sound like a commercial. But hey, I’m en...

I got some really great mini comics from an awesome artist Brian Canini. His Plastic People series is a really great.

"...this is a good one, from one of the most prolific and varied people going today." from Optical Sloth's review of our mini-comic, Two Stories. Check it out!

Sometimes the title says it all, so if you guessed that this comic has two stories in it… well, that wasn’t much of a guess, really, since it’s pretty obvious. Anyway! The first story here is about a man who wakes up one day with some gunk on his hand. He tries to wash it off but can’t manag...

"Simply put, these are smart, sophisticated, subtle stories that hit all the right notes." from Ryan Carey's review of one of our newest comics, Two More Stories. Check it out!

Flipping to the other metaphorical side of the equally metaphorical coin we again metaphorically tossed into the air with our last review here, we land (last metaphor, I promise) on Brian Canini& #8…

"This one is well worth a look, and I defy anybody to read this mini without relating to at least one thought that goes through her head before it’s all said and done." - Optical Sloth on our comic, Across the Diner

How many hours of the day does Brian spend drawing? I’m honestly curious. This is a stand-alone mini, as opposed to one of the series he’s also producing on a regular basis, and it depicts a conversation almost every one of us has had in our heads at one point: should we go over and say hello to...

"Send him money and ask him to surprise you!" - Optical Sloth on our comic, Blirps #2

Do you mean to tell me that Brian has yet another series out there? Yep, he sure does. Feel shame, comics artists who are only putting out one series at a time! This is a series of four panel strips meaning, as always, that some are going to be funnier than others to me, and that humor is subjective...

Optical Sloth reviewed and recommended you send us a "stack of money" for our minicomic, Roulette;)

The concept behind this one is so simple that it’s going to be tough to talk about for long: two friends play a game of roulette with each other. Is it right to call it a “game” when they’re using a loaded gun and one of them is going to end up dead? Eh, probably not I guess. Brian does a go...

"Brian Canini threads the needle here and crafts exactly what he set out to with this one." Ryan Carey at Four Color Apocalypse shares some wonderfully kind words about our latest comic :)
