What reviewers are saying:
“Maybe the best quality of Baylis as a creator is his affable storytelling; you just can’t *not* like the writing. He also reels in the artistic talent here.... Grade A.”- Poopsheet–Justin Giampiaoli
“ It's all as good one would expect from previous issues of the series, another chance to have a visit with a pal and hear some of his stories.” Warren-Peace.
“So Buttons #5, by Jonathan Baylis and various artists. Baylis continues to improve both as a writer and a self-publisher, as this comic looks attractive without being too slick. Baylis made sure to assign stories that played to the strengths of the artists he worked with, something that Harvey Pekar did so well for so long.”-Highlowcomics.com-Rob Clough
“It's a great little zine full of clever true-to-life moments that we all can relate to.”Comics Bulletin-Jason Sacks
