Four reveiws in Broken Pencil 59

Broken Pencil issue 59This issue of Broken Pencil lists the results of the Indie Writer’s Deathmatch, in which Nana K. Adjei-Brenyah emerged victorious. The revised winning story, and two runners up are on display. Running underneath the stories are comments which appeared on the website during battle (including one from me). Contentious stuff. I love it.

Natalie Zina Walschots’s profile of Annie Koyama and the comics press she founded is excellent, and was timely, appearing on newsstands just before TCAF.

Also inside, tons of reviews, including my review of the zine Super Fun Satan Club, and a few poetry books.
