For my buddy Manny Bello:
Mike Sterling curses me for hooking him on
Demo, while
Johnny B curses his retailer for not getting his
Demo and
Scurvy Dogs for him. It's 1999 all over again...
Ken Lowery posts up the plot for the second part of
Planet of the Capes, and then takes the opportunity to ask me when a
Demo trade is coming out. Part Four on Friday.
Also,
Demo #6 came out yesterday:
Continuing his look at
Astronauts in Trouble, Dave Fiore mentions Emerson this time. With last entry's invoking of Melville, if he somehow hits on Thomas Cole and the Hudson River School, Dave'll have identified the three major influences on the story. And you guys thought it was just about spacemen in
jeopardy.
The
Demo blogtest winners were announced today, over at Shane Bailey's
Near Mint Heroes. I find it fitting that the guy who wanted the power to shoot midgets out of his hands won the copy of
Scurvy Dogs #2.
Steve Pheley serves up a neat capsule review of
Scurvy Dogs which includes the phrase "hilarity has no choice but to ensue." Nothing wrong with

Ken Lowery and I have done the second part of the
Planet of the Capes exploration, with Part Three coming tomorrow.
Mike Sterling takes a look at
Electric Girl today, which is pretty coincidental, considering Mike Brennan just forwarded me the first twelve pages of
Electric Girl Volume Three!
Laura Gjovaag has some real nice words to say about our hard work on
Astronauts in Trouble, and
Bill Sherman's review is the first one I've seen that puts its metaphorical finger right on the
Codeflesh/Spirit connection. I can tell you Joe Casey was real pleased about that one.
Dave Fiore starts his survey of the astronauts today, and I, for one, am very much looking forward to reading what he has to say about it.
Also, this past weekend marked the eleventh anniversary of the day Mimi and I first met, and I always remember because 1., I'm a romantic sap, and 2., it's the weekend of the Bay to Breakers race in my town. This is the kind of thing that you see there:
