For review requests, digital or hard copies. If you want to send hard copies to a particular staff member, please contact us for details. Due to the international whereabouts of our staff, we don’t list a public mailing address. Since we receive multiple review requests daily, we cannot cover all requests. We do, however, share requests that fit within our coverage area across the team and cover as much material as possible.
If you’re a self-publisher or small presser please read our article on getting coverage for your comic here for advice on how to pitch your review request. Review submissions are accepted on the understanding that coverage can be critical as well as positive, and that reviews will become a permanent archived resource on Broken Frontier recording the landscape of the indie comics community of the time.
We do not review comics using AI Art or the work of any creator involved with NFTs.
Broken Frontier is an inclusive platform seeking to celebrate the diversity of the medium and those who work in it. We do not accept review submissions from anyone who is either involved in, or who associates with those involved in, comics hate groups.

John T. Trigonis is a published poet and author (Crowdfunding for Filmmakers), aspiring comics creator (Siren’s Calling and his forthcoming cyberpunk series Breath Run), and former editor at EIGHTY and Lamplighter magazines. When not tapping away at a piece of writing, be it a Broken Frontier review or his latest D&D adventure, John spends more time than he’d like to admit collecting vintage eighties and nineties action figures and collectibles and teaching writing and public speaking courses as a freelance professor at various universities across his home state of New Jersey. One day, when the world gets back to normal, he hopes to open a coffee and pinball house.

Rebecca is a full-time digital publishing assistant but can mostly be found drinking tea and talking about, writing about, or making comics. She has a master’s degree in Publishing Media, and her thesis project revolved around the growth in popularity of comics and the role of small press and independent comic and zine fairs. Prior to this, she studied English & Philosophy, and has since then been seeing philosophy in everything, including comics. Rebecca has had work published by Dirty Rotten Comics and the Vagabond Comics Collective, and has self-published two comics as part of her fantasy comic trilogy.
