Editorial Reviews

Review

Hobart # 9 takes us back to our youth when video games were black and white, hookers were a few keystrokes away, playground ballgrabbing was cause for nasty nicknames, and mothers left fathers. The stories in this collection are as addictive as the games their characters play pool, Scrabble, chess, poker, Jenga, blackjack, and Magic: The Gathering. This issue is quirky, funny, lyrical, disturbing. I could call it many things, but I will never call it ordinary. Hobart #9 is a touchdown on the opening run; it s a hole in one from the first tee; it s the opening A3 that hits the Battleship. I look forward to what comes next. --NewPages
