My Graphic Review of The Exile

---

Limited edition signed prints of this review are now available for your Christmas shopping needs. LOL!

Seriously, I wasn’t sure I could write a review of this book in any other way – artist or not.  While this graphic novel wasn’t earth shattering, I’ve had a lot of fun all around.

  Thanks ladies! I’m glad I could put a smile on your face this morning. I certainly had a lot of fun working on it. I wish I could have done more with Jamie’s arse, but I’m sure that lovers of Outlandish can embellished that for themselves. Lol!

  First of all, LOVE this review. Who knew you were such a great graphic artist

  Second, I was excited to see a review of this one. I flipped through it at the bookstore, but I couldn’t get myself to buy it. I might have to pick it up now!

  As far as I know, this is the first graphic review of a graphic novel!

  Along those lines, maybe I should have mine reviewed by someone covered with dust….

  I like your picture idea. Show us more!

  HAHAHAHA!! I love it!!! I can’t decide which is my favorite picture: the one with the “Blah Blah Vampire” book, the sex scene, or when you get caught reading it I definitely think you should draw more reviews
