The Corrupting Power of Video: “Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl” #2 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 10, 2015 | Reviews

Music and comics – two amazing things that (don’t always) go great together. “Phonogram,” in its earlier incarnations, combined those two passions of mine quite well.

The Hipless Boy

Art and Heart Do the Shuffle in Sherwin Sullivan Tjia’s “The Hipless Boy”

By Michelle White | Sep 8, 2015 | Reviews

Montreal isn’t a big city. It’s barely even a medium-sized city, by American standards. And the arts scene – particularly the English-speaking arts scene – can feel postage-stamp small, an agglomeration of people who’ve known each other for years and their mutual friends. At the same time, there’s a sense of profusion; of there being […]
