This review is by Sean Stewart of the elegant Thoughtworm, who kindly posted this little evaluation on his NewPages site in April. Perhaps you'll be more swayed by someone else telling you that they like Meniscus; don't just take my word for it!
From reading Matt�s zine, I concluded that he�s a pretty talented guy. Just looking at the range of artwork he includes in here shows that he is comfortable in a variety of styles and formats. He also paints, and actually, in this issue, grapples with conflicting feelings about making money from selling his artwork. There are quite a number of essays in here, and mixed in are some comix, too. What I found to be the most engrossing reading was his personal struggles with creating art, and evaluating why he creates it. He even talks about how he quit doing any drawing or painting for a while, and what a tough time he had during that period. He finally realizes that he�s practically going to explode if he doesn�t start drawing again. In the end, he comes to somewhat of a resolution to his conflict. This is really good writing, and readers should take away a healthy dose of insight into Matt�s personality.
