		<description>Sadly, the rest of the series didn&#039;t really keep the same awesomeness ratio as the 1st 10 or so issues; it was also much more &quot;real world&quot; (other than an anthropomorphic talking robot bear).  Imagine a two-page spread of a small bear haranguing nonplussed suburban stoner teens regarding drug use leading to a dead end.  AIR BatBear, PunishBear, RocketBear etc. were mostly (but not entirely) fantasy stories.  There was an arc where Boris was in outer space with amnesia and joined an all-anthro space adventurer team.  Issue #34 was part 1 of a story arc which was never completed.  

Trivia: Boris the Bear was the 1st book produced under the Dark Horse imprint.  (The BtB archive says it&#039;s the second, DHP presumably being the first, but I stand by my 21 year old memory as well as Amazing Heroes promo material.)  I read somewhere (probably in a Nicotat era BtB text page) that James Dean Smith was forced/strongly persuaded/etc. to go the comics satire route by DH&#039;s founder Mike Richardson, who wrote the early issues.  Later issues - especially when self-published as Nicotat - were truer to Smith&#039;s vision.  He had various personal life problems (illnesses/deaths in the family) and financial/organizational problems resulting in periodic delays.  Boris&#039; Adventure Magazine was published sporadically during the BtB Nicotat run.

Notwithstanding the above, I&#039;m still planning to get the new issue (available ONLY through the website: my LCS guy checked) and hope for the best.  I only wish I could find anyone else in my area interested, to combine &amp; save on shipping costs.

		<description>For the second day in a row I think the idea behind the character is more of a reason to love comics than the character himself.

That you could do stories based on killing parodies of other characters could only be done in comics.  I mean you could do an episode of a cartoon on it, but a whole series?  That is a reason to love comics.</description>

		<description>Groovy. I remember reading the first few issues of Boris.  They blew my mind away, or something. :&gt;</description>
