It's on the trail of the backwash that is the Christmas/Boxing Day hues where all the tinsel that's made its rounds will find a box again for next year.

Back in again from the short orders of before are Outer Orbit #1 and The Spirit#1. One a crazy jump around all over the place that seems like a Harry Johnston epic of ribaldry. The other, a retake and reintroduction to the classic Will Eisner character. Of course, there's no need to really know about the history of it all to make it a nice read, but from those that have read it, it's a nice coat of sugar on top.

Not #8 of the series from Icon/Marvel, which appears ever so delayed and delayed like a pregnancy test you want to state a certain way, but it'll have to do: Kabuki Reflections #7. A tie-in to a documentary, not for everyone.

Speaking of art, "Course you would have customers," is the freshest quote of the week. All that which supplies a hatefill matrix of competition in non competing fields.
