They probably didn't do a bigger issue becuase it would cost more, and while I would be willing to pay more, I don't know if retailers or OTHER less sick people than I, would. Heh heh. Garth, Darick -- good stuff! Loved it, loved it, loved it.

At one point, he parodies the Eltingville Club with 'The Northwest Comics Collective' about a band of equally obsessive, socially retarded comic book fans who don't realize they are because they obsess over indie/underground comics. Basically the Comics Journal to the Eltingville Club's Wizard. One of the NWCC writes parodies of superhero comics which are mostly pornographic versions of existing comicbook superheroes. Garth Ennis is that guy. He's a one-trick pony who seems content with getting paid to write the same two pages of dialogue over and over again. It's Micah Wright's Stormwatch Team Achilles only the team members say 'cunt' more. *yawn* Evan Dorkin wrote an incredibly good parody of comic book/fandom called 'The Eltingville Comic-Book, Science-Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Role-Playing Club' about a series of obsessive, socially retarded nerds/fans.

I have no way of knowing whether or not it would help at this point, but it does feel a little strange to me that only 2 of the 5 principle characters appear in this issue, especially when they all appear on the cover. Right now though, I'm feeling like I gladly would've paid extra and waited a little longer to get the entire cast in the first issue.
