  I'm not sure if my connection is with LDB or with SSS, who is the real life counter part to LDB, nonetheless this comic hits home with every issue. Sina Grace demolishes the art in this issue. All wrapped up in a Chris Giarrusso cover, how can you resist? Read Full Review

  LDB continues to impress. This issue really expands the new relationship in LDB's life. Struble and Grace have really hit their stride with the series. We're going to have to wait a while for the next issue, but it will be worth it. Read Full Review

  Once again, LDB handles the joy and pain of normal life with a gorgeous and surreal narrative. Everything happening in this story could happen to any of us, yet Struble's writing is so romantic, so melancholy that it feels like a world just outside our own. It's not easy to make the mundane interesting, but Struble pulls it off. He knows when dialog works best and when to turn the scene over to Grace alone. It gives LDB a cinematic quality, as if you're reading a small indie film instead of watching it. Read Full Review
