We'll start off the day with a visit to The Great Curve, where they pit Larry Young vs. Joe Quesada in a podcast duel to the death!
"Take a listen at both; I'm sure the contrast will be entertaining, to say the least."
Ok, so maybe I'm embellishing just a little. Sorry to disappoint some of the bloggers out there. =)

Remember way back in March of last year, when ol' Lar linked to some stuff Guy LeCharles Gonzalez wrote about the last Demo? Where Larry just thought it was funny some dude would cap on Brian's lyrics when Guy has his own poetry up, and Guy freaked out? I know for a fact Larry's tried to smooth everything over with Guy, but Senor Buzzscope still has something stuck in his craw which you can see everytime he writes something about AiT. C'est la vie. Like Larry says, "Sometimes people just don't understand each other."
But dude has to go out of his way to see a black mark about this:
Charlie Adlard 3 GN Pack, $38.85 "Is this the equivalent of running a sale to clear out inventory?" I can see where maybe Guy doesn't go through Previews like the rest of us serious people, so he probably didn't see our "Charlie Adlard: Master Illustrator" ad, but still. Three $12.95 books for $38.85 isn't much of a sale now, is it? We even threw in the shrinkwrap for free.

Knowledge is power... for real!

In case you didn't know already, the kids dig on the Demo collection:
"Throughout the entire series, each tale is beautifully illustrated by Becky Cloonan, who can't get enough praise for her work here. Why? Twelve different stories, twelve different styles of art. From the comical style used in "Midnight to Six" to the more delicate, airy work in "Emmy," her work never fails to impress and please."

Lastly, big thanks to Brain Domingos for his recent kind words about the AiT Daily Update:
"I was going to email you about a couple things: Firstly, Josh - he's doing a great job as website-update-guy. I've enjoyed his stuff these last couple weeks. Then, the new preview pages - they all look fantastic. I'm glad to see some new blood in the company. You know I love everything you guys have done for the last half decade, but New Blood and New Stuff can only mean Good Things. So I'm excited about all that.
Me, too! Sharing the AiT Love with the world is definitely a blast.
SEACREST OUT!
