Two more reviews of “Hereville”!
Less than a week ago I was complaining that no one ever reviewed Hereville… Sometimes it’s nice to be proven wrong. Two more reviews of “Hereville” have appeared.
Sam at the ZenKatzen Times writes:
It’s glorious, deep, clever, and intelligent; finally, a take on the hero’s tale which doesn’t look like it was cribbed straight outta G.I. Joseph Campbell. Mirka won me over from the start.
If you’re comic cognosenci, you know about it already. I just have to go on record and say how much I like this work. It’s nifty.
Alas for me, I’m pretty sure Sam’s comment about the “cognosenci” isn’t true — hardly anyone reads “Hereville” yet. But I’m really optimistic about the growth in readership (I now get around 500 visitors a day — a month ago I was lucky to get 100), and reviews like Sam’s can only help.
And at Comic Book Thoughts, Ragtime writes:
The comic is called “How Mirka Got Her Sword,” and is about a young Orthodox Jewish girl who sets out to slay dragons, which has all the elements that my little Raggirls will love, and looks to be the first comic book to crack our Bedtime Story Ritual since The Courageous Princess.
Ragtime also picks out page 11 as her or his favorite page of Hereville so far. I often don’t like my own work, but that page is one I’m fond of. My favorite part of it is probably the teeny, tiny Mirka and Dragon figures falling to the ground in the last panel — they give me the giggles.

Congrats, Barry, glad to see the comic is doing every day better as it deserves it 😉

I meant every word I said about it, including the one I couldn’t spell B-)
cognoscenti, as it turns out.
To be fair, you did make ZehnKatzen into ZenKatzen, which is pretty cool, actually, given my ambivalent spiritual approach.
Seriously though, dude, excellent comic. If the cognos … cognow … them guys aren’t reading it, thier loss. But this is going to be big for you!
