MITNG speaks with Lightning Dog creator Nathan Smith

I had the pleasure of meeting Nathan Smith at this years Phoenix Comic Con. Seated humbly at his booth, he had that look. You know the one that reads “give my comic book a shot”? The decision to stop wasn’t a hard one, seeing as how he was easy to talk to and his art

MITNG reviews “Nothing can possibly go wrong” by Prudence Shen and Faith Erin Hicks

There’s a thin line between love and robots. Come to think, “Love and Robots” would’ve been a better choice for a title then “Nothing can possibly go wrong“,but that’ll be the only negative thing you’ll see me type about this solid graphic. NCPGW is a fun story, and a great read for all ages! It
