Flytrap

As a rule I don't write reviews for works by friends, but I'm certainly not above promoting the heck out of the good comics that my friends do.

So when Steve Lieber offered to send along a copy of the new chapbook/mini comic that he and Sara Ryan did, I was more than happy to accept.

If the phrase "Steve Lieber & Sara Ryan have a new comic out" makes you joyous, then you've no doubt read their Eisner-nominated previous comic, Me and Edith Head. Flytrap looks to be a continuing (if irregularly published) series about Maddy, a PR specialist who loses her regular gig with an agency and ends up representing the independent Flytrap Circus. This first issue, "Juggling Act," introduces us to Maddy and sets up the situation. I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more.

It's 2 dollars (postpaid) for a fourteen page story with a cardstock cover, and well worth your while. You can order it directly from Steve via PayPal. (And while you're there you can grab some other great stuff from Steve and/or Sara too.)
