We just discovered this cool little underground comic through the folks over at Ebullition. Feedback is drawn and published by Portland artist John Isaacson, who reviews local metal, punk and noise shows in comic strip form, which he collects in each issue of the half-sized black and white comic. His show review strips are short and succinct, but manage to sum up what each of these noisy, often chaotic shows was like to attend in a humorous style that reminds me a lot of Brian Walsby (of Manchild fame). We've picked up a couple of recent issues of Feedback for C-Blast, 'cuz they're worth checking out if you're into the irreverent, observational music-centric comics of Walsby and Ben Snakepit.

Another issue of Feedback with thirty-two more pages of black and white four-panel comics that humorously review shows from even more cool bands like Nux Vomica, Cold Cave, DRI, Weremacht, Plutocracy, Bastard Noise, Eyehategod, Thrones, and Wildildlife. The second half of the comic is actually a split with another review zine called Videotonfa, which instead of music reviews a diverse mix of movies like Critters 4, Cronenberg's Dead Zone, the awesome Phantasm II, Buckaroo Banzai. blaxploitation titan Rudy Ray Moore and other VHS trash, written from the perspective of someone living in the Portland punk/metal scene, and each review is accompanied by crudely surreal hand drawn reproductions of the cover art for the films.
