Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.

These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.

Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre #2 (Mad Cave) – Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre (FHCM) #2 is more unfettered Cold War era violence, satire, and hilarity from writer Fred Kennedy and artist James Edward Clark. We get Agent Nebraska’s origin story and way more hippos and a little less Communist dictators than the first issue, but it’s amazing to watch Kennedy and Clark take down Amerikkkan copaganda down a ton of pegs. The B-movie vibe of FHCM keeps it from coming across as preachy, and characters like Bea, the commonsensical amusement park employee, balance out the wackier figures. This comic has lot of ideas and plot elements that make me smile and guffaw (Peanuts as socialist propaganda), and I’m definitely planning on returning to this drug and hippo infested amusement park on a monthly basis. P.S. The Nancy Reagan stand-in, after school special framing narrative continues to be ingenious. Overall: 9.0 Verdict: Buy

Godzilla Infinity Roar #2 (Marvel) – Gerry Duggan, Ig Guara, and Javier Garron serve up bigger and more epic Kaiju brawls in Godzilla: Infinity Roar #2. The King of Monsters fights Ghidorah for the hell of it, but the real battle royale is Godzilla vs Galactus. Duggan handles the “logic” side of things while Garron and Guara serve up some memorable moments and reaction shots. I’m curious to see what gimmick the heroes cook up to get out of this one, or this battle might be endless. (Or until sales drop.) Overall: 7.4 Verdict: Read
