COMICS CRITICISM
* Alex Hoffman reviews STARSEEDS by Charles Glaubitz, whose "defining characteristic ... is its ability to mix genre with the metaphysical, and in doing so, it generates an otherworldliness that is strange and compelling."
* Ray Sonne reviews R. Sikoryak's TERMS AND CONDITIONS of which she says, "Unless already invested in comics history or law, you will not find the reading experience smooth."
* Rob Clough takes a look at a number of mini-comics from BEN PASSMORE.
* Andy Oliver reviews THE PALACE OF CHAMPIONS, the new hardcover collection of Henriette Valium, aka Patrick Henley, one of the most important French-Canadian cartoonists of all time. The book is huge, 9 x 14, "a size that is essential in order to capture the astonishingly intricate illustrative style of this creator."
