Gladhand #2

I’m a big fan of zines with theme and purpose. Yes, I know, that’s truly unreasonable. So, I’m going to try to be fair to Gladhand and LB, its mysterious creator. This is a far-ranging, meandering collection of comics, starting off with a robotic boomerang kid and ending with, well, the end of the world. It’s a very short, very eclectic collection, with a clean, unapologetic art style that is perfect for the restless action it depicts. At times this sense of motion leads to an unprincipled and cluttered page, but the story is always clear, if at times too short or seemingly pointless. I think I would have more to say about Gladhand if I understood it better. As it stands, I can only say that this is a decent little comic zine, and I hope it finds its audience. (J. Blackmore)
