ZINE REVIEW
Colin Cthulu
In a dystopian future (or just a future), some creepy creature emerges from the sea and a bunch of concerned humans try to kick its ass SO HARD. That's the basic gist of Colin Cthulhu, a neat little comic and a fresh take on the plight of Cthulhu, a cosmic entity created by H.P. Lovecraft in the early-ish 1900s. Cam Gordon reviews.

BOOK REVIEW
Live from the Underground
Darek is an adolescent confronting the complex national and political developments of 1980-82 Poland. His father, Andrzej, is an active Solidarity member and the family is forced to emigrate to Canada and settle in Lampeq, New Brunswick. Corinne Wasilewski's talented writing of this story is perhaps dimmed by the fickle dance between tragedy and romance. Norman Feliks reviews.
