J-Boy Anthology, Volume 1
By Biblos
Published by the Juné Imprint of Digital Manga, Inc.Review by Ginger Mayerson
I love anthologies! I wait breathlessly for the Small Press Expo antho every year. I worshiped Robot. I loved the first volume of Flight enough to be disappointed in volume 2 and 3. And I thought True Porn and Boy Trouble, #5 were the bees knees. Give me anthologies, collections, compilations, readers, chrestomathies, albums, analecta, compendiums, digests, selections, omnibuses and I am a heppy kat.
So you can just imagine how happy I was to get my paws on J-Boy by Biblos, volume 1. [more]

First Steps

Published by Torquere PressReview by Lynn Loper
Awwww. The gay New York writer pays a surrogate to bear him a child; it turns out to be twins, girl and boy. He takes them away from the nasty city to a cabin in the mountains, and a studly forest ranger shows up to warn them of fire dangers. Shortly, studly forest ranger and New York writer are in bed in studly's beautifully-equipped but rustic cabin. Internet service, running water, and endless hours to do nothing but make love and worship the babies. [more]

Enchanter, Vol. 3
by Izumi Kawachi
Digital Manga PublishingReview by Tom Good
Sometimes it only takes one brilliant panel to elevate a manga to the next level. This volume of Enchanter had been rolling along with its special blend of humor, magic, and pinup art. And though I was entertained, the book had begun to feel more like a series of quick jokes and odd situations than a memorable plot. While our hero Haruhiko struggled to manufacture new weapons, and his schoolmate Okada chatted with their beautiful teacher, I started to wonder whether the story needed more action and tension. Then I turned the page and what I saw next really gave me a jolt. [more]
