How the Lion Lost Its Pride

There are new comics reviews up at Pop Matters including my review of Paul Hornschemeier's Mother Come Home.

My goal was to reflect on the central symbol of the comic, hopefully broadening the possibility of its meaning for the reader.

The Pop Matters style is interesting because at a root level it is searching for the same type of criticism that we have been with Robots Fighting, yet its large readership also looks to the site for clear opinions. It is taking me a few reviews to be able to balance things in a way I feel is appropriate without seeming too constructed or too vague. I feel like I'm getting there with the Mother Come Home review, although my attempt to move beyond the symbolism to actually rate the book is a tad weak.
