Josh Lesnick is an artist. He cares about the visual quality of his work, and of the field in which he works. He is willing to risk the end of friendships, animosity from popular cartoonists, and vituperation from their fans, to say the things no one else will say.

I would give much to have a reviewer like Lesnick going over the field on a regular basis, on Broken Frontier or anywhere else. But Lesnick is clearly concentrating his reviews into one single burst: 37 strips in one post.

Naturally I'm pleased to see he uses my Alexa survey as a jumping-off point, and that he has encouraging words for my partner Gisele Lagace. But if he trashed both, I would still support this effort. I do disagree with him about a couple of artists, but that's not the point. The webcomics field needs more of this sort of honest examination.

Therefore, Broken Frontier presents no review today. Go read Lesnick's instead. (I'd also advise skipping the comments section altogether. Reviews should not be done by committee.)
