The usage of the multi-metered composition keeps the audience from tiring quickly of what is by technical necessity a short tune (most non-medley tracks on the Advantage album are under two minutes in length). The Advantage cover of the "Egypt" theme from Double Dragon III is a typical result; as it elaborates on its pentatonic sensibility with meandering guitar lines, the song brings a fresh sound to a well-worn tonal range.

...content and form of Kevin Huizenga's Ganges couldn't be further from The Fountain, though they share many of the same themes. Fifth in a line of upscale comic books that the co-publishers hope will fill the gap between more cheaply produced pamphlets and pricey full-length books, the other authors in this "Ignatz" series have all been Europeans until now. Huizenga hails from Illinois and creates the most suburban comix to be found in the alternative market. His regular series Or Else has been reviewed by TIME.comix, and he specializes in small-scale narratives of riding bikes...

To enlarge the slim plot into a full-length movie, Thompson—who also wrote the script—throws in a half-baked storyline involving Mr. Brown’s financial and marital problems. When wealthy Great Aunt Adelaide (Angela Lansbury) tells the broke Mr. Brown he must marry or will lose her financial assistance, he settles...
