Public Domain #8 is another good issue exploring the making of art and the crazy range of personalities involved in making comics. Zdarsky uses the ensemble cast superbly to create a compelling and always exciting comedy drama. Read Full Review

Public Domain #8 keeps things moving along nicely. We get some progress with both comic companies. When bringing new talent aboard a still-not-fully-established company, there would definitely be a few conflicts, and that's shown here without it being overwrought. We also get a couple of major developments for the gambling problem subplot, as well as a bit of a cliffhanger at the end that makes me eager to see how issue 9 plays out. Read Full Review

Featuring family drama, inside baseball, and nine panel grids, Public Domain continues to be a tense delight. Read Full Review

The series has reached its eighth issue. The basic novelty of Zdarskys calm, earthbound sense of characterization is starting to wear a little bit thin. Its been fun so far, but its difficult to imagine much of the rest of the series registering much of a pulse as things get started. If the series is going to continue, theres going to need to be some sort of a sense of progression that give the cast of characters a place to be that isnt just...cranking out the next issue of the series. So far Zdarski has been quite limited on any sense of conflict driving the whole thing forward. Read Full Review

I appreciate The Domain for being a well told grounded story, with little flash and spectacle. It's just a good read about people making comics.
