…but you’re not actually ORDERING a lot of those books from Diamond, right? They can be had so much cheaper from several other sources…

I figure you’re not, but since you didn’t SAY anything, better to voice it…

Am I the only one who noticed that Astro Boy looks like Big Boy, the restaurant mascot?

I loved those Ninja Turtle comics from Archie, too. They were pretty cool. Though I got rid of mine a few years ago…

Also: “THAT WILL BE 10 DAYS BEFORE TCAF AND I WILL BE INSANE” = definitely, go for it! :D

“I find myself hoping that A Distant Neighborhood is what happens when the lead from The Walking Man wanders too far and has to explore a whole new town. Which, of course, I would buy in a heartbeat.”

No. It’s a sort of bittersweet childhood-memory meets PK Dick. But it is pretty good anyway!

Heh, doing the previews – such a strong sense of nostalgia – of course next time you need to do the “Real” previews write-up like back in the day – Y’know, the one from the bar

I’d be remiss to forego reminding you that the new one actually comes out today [if i'm not mistaken]

Also, no more international section?

Did you see that Angel:After the Fall series IDW did. It was colored like that astro boy but 10 times worse.

Me, I found it hard reading Freakangels online, but I may well shell out for the two trades simply because it's Ellis not doing Bad-Ass, Profane, Thinly-Veiled Spider Clone. I loved Transmet, but one run was enough.
