By the way, I got an email from Kira Lerner, the Editor-in-Chief of Episodic Review. They have selected Secret Journals as a "Featured" series and posted another pretty good write up. http://www.episodicreview.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=12982

Hey, THAT is a kick ass review. Of course I certainly noticed the LACK of mentioning the enigmatic Satyros whose character brings an air of mystery and foreboding to the series.(which is integral to the whole hogalum universe, all biases aside) Would the lack of Satyros bring the whole series crumbling down like a house of cards?.......well....yes, but that just shows how essential his energy and finesse is complimenting the entire group. Now is Mentiac got gangrene and died a horrible death would the series continue...well of course. If Valkusian went blind from getting hit in the eyes with a cream puff during the World Expo, staggered back and was killed by a trolley, would the adventures still spring forth....oh, in a heartbeat. Take out Satyros, you might as well scoop out the heart of the entire show, pack up and say 'Goodnight Gracie'.
Now why couldn't review reflect the OBVIOUS is beyond me. Someday, they'll see. They'll all come around and with eyes wide open realize what a treasure trove of entertainment stands before them in the shape of Attiuc Satyros, man of mystery!!!

Damn you, critics....damn you all to hell!
