Mikhaela B. Reid is on the offensive in her weekly comic strip, The Boiling Point, which made its GoComics debut today. Reid is a wickedly talented and utterly fearless satirist who won't shy away from a fight, regardless of the opponent. It's that willingness to take on all comers that has won her the loyalty of fans and the admiration of peers.
And just in time for her GoComics debut, Reid's first collection of cartoons releases Monday, June 4 on Lulu.com. Attack of the 50-Foot Mikhaela! includes a forward by Ted Rall, who calls Reid "an insurgent cartoonist: smart, irrepressible and unpredictable."
Boiling Point sucks

Needs to get off the direct approach. Step out of the shadow of This Modern World. The comics screams Fantagraphics wannabe.

Mikhaela Reid easily ranks as one of the most original and effective cartoonists of her generation. "The Boiling Point" achieves more than what you'd think possible from a comic strip. Reid's work can be bitter, hilarious, or deeply moving, often simultaneously.
An important progressive voice who deserves attention. Highly recommended.

Mikhaela's one of my favorite editorial cartoonists. She has a nice art style and does a good job making her point.
Her work only runs in a handful of papers, so if you have an altweekly in your area, why not write to the editor?

Great to see someone saying (drawing) it like it is.

It's always refreshing to see someone with this clarity of mind. Thanks, Ms. Reid.

She draws herself way prettier than she is.

She's much more attractive than the way she draws herself.

Great stuff, backed with great art and wit. Hope to see much more from her.

Mikhaela Blake Reid's comics are the most insightful semi-regular piece of my life. She's smart, witty, and right about everything. Oh, and sexy. Can't forget sexy.
