#xtc69

The staff at Librairie Drawn and Quarterly are selecting summer reads and this time it’s Saelan’s turn and XTC69 makes their list! “In Jessica Campbell's XTC69, a team of astronauts from an all-female civilization searches the universe for suitable men to breed with -- the pickings are, predictably, pretty slim. Hijinx ensue.” — Saelan Twerdy, Librairie Drawn and Quarterly

Jessica Campbell’s new book XTC69 is reviewed today by Robert Kirby on The Comics Journal!

Women Write About Comics reviews the joyful reprieve from all that is now, Jessica Campbell’s XTC69.   “We all need a break from the current onslaught of awful, and Campbell has given us one full of hope that, someday, all our world’s horrors will be a distant memory.” — Alenka Figa, Women Write About Comics

Publishers Weekly reviews Jessica Campbell’s “cheerful machismo-bashing” XTC69.

“This oddball escapade delights from opening salvo to closing quip.” — Publishers Weekly

Page 45 reviews three of our titles: Fiona Smyth’s Somnambulance , Michael DeForge’s A Western World, and Jessica Campbell’s XTC69.

On Somnambulance

“Based out of Toronto this kaleidoscope black and white collection of shorts, oddities and err…short oddities…certainly made sure I knew what she was all about by the time I completed it.” — JR, Page 45

On A Western World

“I suspect all but the most ardent and on-point DeForge fans, especially given the spotty availability and small print runs of much of his periodical output, there were probably about half the tales in this collection which I hadn’t read before. So, even if you have some of this material already, the collection is still very much worth picking up.” — JR, Page 45

On XTC69

“And you will eventually get all the answers in this ribald and ridiculous space burlesque. Just don’t expect any hard sci-fi along the way. Lots of laughs and poking fun at Incels for sure, though, which is never a bad thing.” — JR, Page 45
