Unicorn Mountain is a collection of Pittsburgh’s finest comic artists, writers and bands. It’s hard to believe they’ve only been around about a year, considering the breadth of material included in the two volumes. The first is printed on newsprint, but the second is perfect bound with brown ink, which makes for a really classy presentation.

What I liked: Some of the comic artists and writers really know their stuff and are producing incredible stories.
What I didn’t like: Some of the fiction pieces should have had another read or two.
What I learned: I need to get involved with UM.
Unresolved question: How long it will take me to create a comic version of some of my old grocery stories.
