Library Journal’s current graphic novel reviews start out with the fourth volume of Kiyohiko Azuma’s Yotsuba&! (whose first volume recently confused me), and goes on to review a bunch of other things as well.
The Indypendent reviews a graphic novel called Fat Free.
Brad Curran of Comics Should Be Good reviews recent comics, kicking off with Batman #668.

At The Savage Critics, two critics unleash tag-team havoc on today’s comics:
- Graeme McMillan catches up on his graphic novels
- Johanna checks out Mice Templar #1
- McMillan is back with a look at X-Men: Emperor Vulcan #1
- and then it’s back to Johanna for Potter’s Field #1
- finally, McMillan tags back in to suplex Parade (With Fireworks) #1 to win the Intercontinental Championship Belt!
Newsarama asks a bunch of comics critics why they don’t talk about the art. (When I don’t, personally, it’s usually because I simply forgot to mention it, or because there wasn’t anything interesting to say.)
