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.

Barbarian Behind Bars #3 (Mad Cave) – Elliott Kalan and Andrea Mutti’s Barbarian Behind Bars is a dark and gritty fish out of water story. You can feel the protagonist’s powers shrink and blows rain down with fury through the visuals. However, it’s just another chosen one story and there aren’t any characters to latch onto. Just empty archetype and big, bad action. Overall:6.0 Verdict: Pass

Florida Hippo Cocaine Massacre #3 (Mad Cave) – Florida Hippo Cocaine Massacre (FHCM) #3 has the most hippos and most cocaine of any issue in this series so far courtesy of Fred Kennedy and James Clark. Clark and flatter Becca Kenzie go full disco inferno with the art as a team of government agents get closer and closer to stopping one of the biggest drug shipments in American history. The anti-capitalist and billionaire satire continues to be spot-on, but doesn’t detract from FHCM #3’s clever silliness. There’s a Bill Watterson homage here that made laugh out loud. It’s a shame this series concludes next issue, but will definitely revisiting for all the visual gags and funny dialogue I missed the first time around. Overall: 9.0 Verdict: Buy
