...little scratchy and lacking in polish, he has a nice sense of design. He mixes up his layouts and keeps the experience of reading always stimulating even if the events being depicted are simple. One page will be a big panel with three small insets, followed by a zig-zag of panels down the page, followed by all verticals. You could look at this book from across the room and enjoy it. Galambos teaches art in Rochester, New York, but by all rights he should be making a living at comix instead...
...Connor's life has had enough twists and turns and zigs and zags to fill up a month of Behind the Music episodes. The priest's collar is her latest zag.

As Haider and his political partner, Wolfgang Schussel...
...badgering violent interview subjects. And sometimes it means coming up with a flimsy excuse to get your editors to send you to the Sundance Film Festival. As lots of people in my office were doing the former, I did the latter. You've got to zig when they zag...
