AND this issue is another #1 issue for $1 (thanks, Oni!) Do you get the impression that I love publishers who give us that initial taste for $1? I appreciate it when they acknowledge comics are expensive and they make an effort to meet us more than half-way by giving us a low cost entry point so we can try something that's new and different from spandex & capes. I truly hop you have a local comic shop that ordered heavily on this issue and I hope you can try it out. If you love this brand of sci-fi that's only 1 step from the world outside your door you really owe it to yourself to give this a read. Read Full Review

It'll be the best one you spend. Good news if you can't, a reprint is one the way and will be available November 27, the scheduled release of the second issue. Read Full Review

Calvin and Hobbes works a different side of the street than Letter 44. What it shares with Watterson's masterpiece is the idea: 'predictability is boring.' If Alburquerque and Soule maintain the energy and promise of this first issue, 'magic will out.' In a story full of probabilities, disappointments be damned. Read Letter 44 and revel in the risk.

I've always wanted the excuse to say "I'll buy that for a dollar" in a review, and now I have it; Oni priced LETTER 44 out at one dollar. It's hard to ignore such an accessibly-priced issue, and even harder when it's a cleverly concepted book coming from such a talented team. LETTER 44 is a well-executed book with a fresh concept, and did I mention that it is one dollar? It's a promising series with an excellent entry point; seek this one out. Read Full Review

I want "Letter 44" to do well, because I've enjoyed a lot of Soule's comics and the premise is strong. For now, though, this is a debut that hasn't hit the ground running. With a $1 introductory price tag, hopefully that's enough to convince readers to give it a second shot next month. Read Full Review
