Reviews for The Collected Cranium Frenzy
I'm excited to say that the early reviews for The Collected Cranium Frenzy by Steve Willis are pretty darned good... Here's the Amazon listing for Volume 1: Thomas Campbell at The Comics Blogger, a newbie to Steve Willis' work, had some positive words (on his paywalled Patreon, so I'm only going to excerpt it): I read the first two volumes that bring the series up to contemporary times and I’m happy to say that Willis doesn’t lose his effervescent good humor over the years. This is observational humor about the mundane and also “the state of things” but a balance is found here between the timely and universal.
