I acquire comic subscriptions in the same way I buy stuff on Etsy—blindly and without discretion. I never think twice about contributing to the ongoing number of comic publishers packaging up their new releases and sending them to my doorstep in a well-timed manner. It thusly becomes rather hard to keep track of exactly what I'm expecting, and I'm thrown into a bit of disarray every time I get home and there's a mysterious package awaiting me, compelling me to all but tear it open immediately. Once this feat is done, I scramble to read everything in one sitting, somewhat cataloging my impressions of each comic. By the time I settle down and attempt to write, there's yet another comic-filled parcel being dropped at my door, and the cycle of initial-excitement to flurry-of-reading to a multi-minded-chaos ensues, and I don't get around to writing about the true heart of the matter—these spectacular comics.

Here's my attempt to set my mind at ease as well as fulfill my own civic duty as comic enthusiast. I picked out some of my favorite mini-comics from the Oily Spring Bundle, and shared my thoughts on all the good stories about sad-sack dads, fandom in comics and wrestling, and the micro-kinetic visual storytelling of a gang war saga.
