The saga of Shane "Books" Bookman continues: the one-time mega-successful comic book creator fallen on hard times finds those times getting even harder. With his back to the wall, Books fends off mobsters, stars in a documentary, falls in love, and sells his soul... and it's only the second issue!
All of the artists deliver fantastic visuals throughout the issue and I love the blending of art styles and how they all work together. Read Full Review
Drawing Blood #2 continues a trippy but poignant look into the ups and downs of creative endeavors. It might be drawing attention due to Eastman's involvement (and rightfully so), but there's a deeper story going on here and it's one worth reading. Read Full Review

Drawing Blood as a series operates on a few levels. Theres the likelihood that some of it is autobiographical. Additionally, parts of it can be read as a commentary (if not critique) on the comic book to mass media pipeline that was in its infancy when Eastman was connected to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and is now a giant cash cow. But mostly Drawing Blood #2 is a fun read with a creative yet dysfunctional main character that can draw tears and laughs. Read Full Review
Drawing Blood isn't necessarily "must read" territory but it's something that TMNT fans will find mighty interesting to linger on considering Eastman's entire career. Read Full Review
