Always a pleasure to give a boost to some of our like-minded pals in the comics coverage world. Details on the return of The Gutter Review, courtesy of Shelfdust, are below.
The world’s most eligible comics website Shelfdust has announced a new partnership which will fill the site with filth, smut, porn and uber-violence in 2026!
Rabbit and wanton comics critic Steve Morris has announced today that Shelfdust, the comics website, will be bringing all the hottest and dirtiest comics criticism back to the internet in 2026, as The Gutter Review’s archive will be republished by Shelfdust across the course of the year!
Created, edited and curated by that no-good terrible darned influence Chloe Maveal, one of the greatest writers about comics today, The Gutter Review is one of the best comics websites to ever find life online. It featured articles and essays which covered comics of all stars and stripes – from Jack Staff and June Brigman to Richard Corben, Bernie Wrightson and Strontium Dog. With one foot in the gutter, and all minds wholly in the trash, The Gutter Review brought incredible and idiosyncratic coverage of comics to the masses.
With the internet being no place for such gleefully depravity and insight, The Gutter Review unfortunately had to be taken offline a few years ago, but this new partnership means all the previous features and articles will return to the world, one week at a time. You want to read about Sonic The Comic and Steve Gerber’s Foolkiller? We’ve got you covered. Needing to know more about Nexus or rampaging for some Rumiko Takahashi ‘ritin’? You know where to go.

Starting May 4th with an exploration at Cam Kennedy’s time pencilling Star Wars, The Gutter Review is coming back online, and ready to scar souls in the best possible way. Comics criticism cannot be killed!
