Welcome to the Weekly Comics Hype! I'm doing these alphabetically, but occasionally skipping around a bit. Today, I wanted to recommend you stop whatever you're doing and go buy La Perdida by Jessica Abel, which is one of the very best stories to appear in the medium in some time, a simply masterful use of the sequential art format to create a tension-building and incredibly...

Just one question; how come you got into 200AD in the first place? Your average american comics fan likes DC and Marvel - and then they tend to go on about the artwork, whereas with 2000AD and The Meg, storyline is a major factor.
Welcome to the Weekly Comics Hype! I'm doing these alphabetically, but occasionally skipping around a bit. You're no doubt familiar with Charles Schulz's classic strip Peanuts, but you might not know that the good people at Fantagraphics Books have been hard at work on a comprehensive reprint program for the series which is setting new rules for archiving comics in bookshelf format, and you...

I was looking at your site, and couldn't find any mention of Alan Moores' "Future Shocks" - of which I consider "The Wages of Sin," to be the ultimate, I mean, "Yaargh ! Craven mongrels ! You'llnot keep AAnthrax Ghoulshadow B:A: down !" That is a classic exit line, precisely because it is so cliched....

Right now, Orlando's ahead of Philly. I'm not sure which team I want to win, since I detest Florida and I don't much like Philly's owner, Jon Bon Jovi, either.
