Amour Review, BAT Interview, & Chaos Campus Review!

Bulletin:

Amour/The Evil Inside (Approbation; by Troy): I’ve praised Approbations anthologies before, but I need to revisit them again to point out Amour and The Evil Inside. While TEI does effective horror, Amour should bear special mention because it tackles the romance genre. Granted, we’ve seen somewhat of a return to romantic themes in comics in several indie series and the surfeit of manga titles that deal with same, but it’s fairly rare to see young male writers dive into the concept of straight-up everyday romantic slice-of-life tales. Perhaps the best tale in Amour #1 is the first one, "CyberMate", which does a cute, clever spin on the idea of online dating and expectations of same.
