Blogcritics on Vatican Hustle

“An ultra-broad send-up of ‘70’s blaxploitation flicks, Hustle follows the exploits of private dick Boss Karate Black Guy Jones, who’s hired to retrieve a naïve young thing from the clutches of Vatican City porn merchants.

Royo’s Malefic reviewed

Comic Mix reviews Malefic, which was then picked by the much larger IMDb: “His art speaks volumes without a single letter. He works predominantly with acrylic and oil on paper and the work is moving and imaginative. There’s an undercurrent of sensuality in his compositions regardless of setting or impending doom.

Booklist on Joe & Azat

“Lonergan’s clean, sharp lines, minimal backgrounds, and pure black and white (no grays, not even via shading) make another story of a youthful, probably temporary relationship vivid and affecting. Altogether excellent.” See more on Joe & Azat and Jesse Lonergan.

Sargent Slaughter + Lulu Roman =

In Vatican Hustle I tried to make the Pope both horrifying and kind of  surprisingly un-fancy.  I decided that his drinking warm beer and watching “G.L.O.W.” would be the key. While most of you are probably familiar with warm beer, you may be slightly less clued in to  “G.L.O.W.” so, for those not in the [...]
