Reactions and Reviews: Issue 2

  • Overall:8
  • Fiction:8
  • Artwork:7
  • Layout/editing:8

Favorite: (1) Vets Stick Together and White Lines because What can I say? I like Face hurt/comfort stories. I can just see Face's reaction in VST regarding his 'doctor'. And I like how the guys support Face, helping him with his problem in WL.

Least Favorite: (1) High School Drug Dealer because I felt is was lacking. There really

wasn't much to the story. [1]

Reactions and Reviews: Issue 3

Any Wednesday, One Night in the DOOM Club, and Oriental Black Eyes Meet Occidental Brown: I.M.O. exceptionally good stor[ies], at least compared to the other A-Team zine stories I've read. Definitely worth checking out if you can find it. Not that the other stuff is necessarily bad, but [these] I especially enjoyed. Your Mileage May Vary. [2]
