Comic Reviews
Everything Dies #1-4 - Box Brown writes a bunch of comics exploring religion. There's a recurring one about some monks thinking about the meaning (or lack) of life. There's a few sequences showing the various creation and end of times from various religions. There's a modern day retelling of Job. It's a refreshing series as there's no judgment one way or the other. Very simplistic art, but it works in this context. check out the website:

Unsyndicated Press #1 - This was a nice unexpected surprise that came with Everything Dies. It's a newsprint copy of a bunch of Bellen! strips. I guess Box Brown was trying to get syndicated for a while, eventually getting an offer just as his editor was being fired, so he declined. Bellen! itself is a three-panel slice of life comedy strip that usually works. Starting off as a webcomic, it has a bit of nerd humor and a lot of relationship humor.
Wolverine 3 - Wolverine's still in hell and pissing off the devil. Looks like he's going to start a revolt in Hell. Those parts of the issue were awesome. The rest of the issue is Wolverine's GF hanging out with Mystique and a couple of Ghost riders making plans on how to rescue his soul (nothing much happens ... yawn) and a little bit where Wolverine's possessed body attacks the X-Men (not much happens as of yet). The backup has some nice Gaydos art, but the story is some guy I don't know ranting about how he's punishing Wolverine over some slight that he doesn't explain. Still, the Wolverine in Hell parts were awesome. I mean:
