It seems as though some of you noticed that reviewing every book in this database is too big a job for just one little man. I’ve had a couple kind offers to help. I’m happy to announce that I’ll be taking some of those offers!
Firstly, my gal Beth has offered to review books from the perspective of a new comic fan. She’s very experienced in the arts and a huge story fan (How many times have you watched Buffy all the way through?) but she’s only read a handful of trades since meeting me. She’s taking to it quick and I think her reviews will bring a much needed layman’s perspective to the site (seeing as the rest of us are kind of obsessed nerds.)
Second, you’ve probably noticed Daniel‘s excellent contributions in the comments. I’m happy to hear that he’s also interested in writing some reviews! He’ll probably be getting to more recent stuff while I work through the huge amount of Pre-Crisis material I’m currently reading.
You’ll probably see Daniel’s by-line popping up on this site first, but stay tuned for great reviews from both these people. I’m honored to have the support.
If you are also interested in reviewing for this site, just send me an email.
Full Disclosure: This is an unpaid freelance gig. No one on this site is getting paid right now, including me, though it would be nice to make minimum wage for those full time hours I put in at some point. You can feel free to put it on your resume and to expect links back and support for your other projects, but I can’t offer any monetary compensation right now. We do this for fun!

More reviews is never a bad thing! Definitely looking forward to reading what you guys have to say, and it should be especially cool to hear from someone who’s new to comics.

Thanks Marc! Hopefully we’ll have you on our side as well – if we’re the TPBro Justice League, you can be in Justice League Europe. ;)
