One more week before the madness of the con sets in and the chill of silence rolls in the shop for every one surely must be at Supanova right? October 19, mark that down in the diary as following October 18 and coming in before October 20. Unless those calendars are the new fangled ones with numbers and days on them. La-di-da mister, you're on fire donchaknow?

It's an odd feeling reading it, but then why should reading a comic be something safe and warm? Like what reading Casanova #5 most certainly will charge down the line. It's not like swimming in a vat of hot chocolate is all the rage. Well, if it is, where's the pool?

After the earlier hit this week of what can kill any thing in the Absolute format, Sandman #1 Special Edition seems rather, well, who knows? Not like DVDs are the only ones that can get away with calling each new reissue a "special edition"

And where it all kicks that guvyer looking superhero spider butt is Amazing Spider-Girl #1. Relaunching after that last long and impressive run. Not that there was really much reason to reboot it in the first place outside of it being far from the #1 it started and this one gets the jump on.
