Today on the site, Ian Thomas reviews Sour Pickles, the first book-format comic by artist Clio Isadora - a story of chemically-assisted art school activity in a time of few prospects. https://t.co/bLqXijaqqj

It’s an artist-on-artist chat this morning between two UK favorites as Joe Decie @joedecie sits down with Warwick Johnson Cadwell @WarwickJC to discuss all that’s going on - such as the latter’s newest collaboration with Mike Mignola, Falconspeare. https://t.co/bW1FBrY65u

Starting off a new week, Sam Jaffe Goldstein speaks to artist Aubrey Nolan about her new exhibition at Usagi NY, Protection Spells, as well as her work in children’s books: “one of the most exciting art mediums happening right now.” https://t.co/VQsXuLojVb

Alec Berry @Alec_Berry reviews The Butchery, an airy, sparse album about relationships from French cartoonist Bastien Vivès: “…there is something about a blank, white page that resembles where inside our minds we might imagine our thoughts to take shape.” https://t.co/8rHfTYzquh

Leonard Pierce @leonardpierce reviews From Granada to Cordoba, by cartoonist Pier Dola, and is very conflicted: “it’s one of the most inventive and stunning pieces of comic art I’ve seen in years; in other ways, it’s a dismal piece of juvenile nihilism…” https://t.co/rL6Kkhzmfy

Today! Ryan Carey @fourcolorryan returns to TCJ with a long look at Peter Milligan’s & Duncan Fegredo’s Enigma, perhaps the quintessential early Vertigo era comic — awash in sexual discovery and promiscuous allusion — newly reprinted in a deluxe format. https://t.co/VBBFF3HegK

Brian Nicholson reviews Brian Blomerth’s Mycellium Wassonii, a new nonfiction comic from Anthology Editions presenting Robert Gordon Wasson’s & Valentina Pavlovna’s research into ‘magic mushrooms’ as a series of bisected page spreads and double splashes. https://t.co/DXWHEDQ4vH

Timothy Callahan @TimCallahan is rightly moved by the “audacious beauty” of Canciones: Of Federico García Lorca, a new NBM edition of poems adapted to comics by the artist Tobias Tak, who died in 2020. https://t.co/ihX0EAyqph

We are back! And we’ve got a big one today, as RJ Casey brings a career-spanning interview with Derek M. Ballard @derekmballard, whose work is both fiercely unique and personal, and intuitively readable in the American popular comics tradition. https://t.co/Wbjt3aeEL3
