Phonogram 2.5 Out In US Today. No, Really.
Yes, that time has come again. After the previously detailed delay-for-pulping, Phonogram should be available in the US today (And the UK Tomorrow). The first five pages are available to read here, though spoilers from the off, and there’s been a selection of reviews already. Do they like it?
Comics Daily: “We’re past the point with Phonogram where it can really be judged by any sort of normal critical standard.”
James Hunt, Comic Book Resources: “Issue #5 of “Phonogram” might be the most challenging comic I’ve ever read, and in case there’s any doubt, that’s a good thing.”
Scott Cederlund, PopSyndicate: “This a nearly perfect comic book.”
Newsarama: “The ending itself is simply marvelous in its beauty and its mystery… you’ve got yourself one great comic.”
Yes, it appears they do. Though I wish they’d come out and say it instead of using such mealy-mouthed language.
(We’re totally due for a critical backlash, I suspect. Bring it!)
One of the darker, more character-study issues, I think. Hope you enjoy it as much as it can be enjoyed.

Oh, the backlash begins when I get my post up. Can you stand the withering criticism I’m about to unleash on this issue?!?!?!? Dare you read all about it?!?!?!? We shall see!

But PJ seems like such a swell fellow!
I posted my review. Can you stand the scathingness of it? I doubt it. You might want to bring the crying towel and a hole to crawl into!!!!

Which is to say, loved it. But, of course. And after that beautiful 30 minute consumption session, am satiated. But for how long? Soon the tummy shall rumble.

I’ve been recommending The Singles Club to all my friends. After reading this latest issue earlier today I’m glad to have been validated in my endorsement.
