Morgan Pielli’s Pile of Minis: Happy Town Tales
I’d already decided that Justin Madson‘s Happy Town Tales was going to be the one book I reviewed for the week (based both on its hefty 80-page length and because it consists of three separate stories), but three pages in I fell in love this the book and realized that there would be plenty for [...]
The Weekly Pulse – We Are All Scott Snyder

Morgan Pielli’s Pile of Minis: The Birds in the Bushes & Cakewalk/Bets Are Off
Like many, I was at first thrilled when the Academy Awards introduced a Best Animated Feature category. Quickly that enthusiasm faded.
