Review: Tiny Wizards #1 (Eben Burgoon)
It’s been a while since we last saw a book from the fantastic Dean Beattie (Random Trials) and so when we heard he was involved in Tiny Wizards, a new series with writer Eben Burgoon, which is debuting at Thought Bubble 2021, we were intrigued. Little did we know we were going to be treated to a bizarrely brilliant world where the titular tiny wizards live in fast food restaurants and cause chaos like The Borrowers meets Lord of the Rings meets Fast Food Nation!

These two worlds collide in Dan Whitehead, Conor Boyle and Jack Davies’ exciting and thought- provoking new graphic novel Hex Loader, just in time for Thought Bubble.
Review: Endswell #1-3 (Peter Morey)
Peter Morey’s Endswell has that quintessential English charm and melodrama of the Archers, but as if told through the lens of a British small press comic. With issue 3 debuting at this weekend’s Thought Bubble 2021 Comic Festival, we ask the all important question – just what has happened to Josh the bichon frise!
Small Press Spotlight: The Tessellation, Band of Warriors, Sagas of the Shield Maiden Book 2
