Thanks, Wizard!

In the latest issue of Wizard, Jim Gibbons reviewed Was Superman A Spy? (which, as always, you can purchase here, if you're interested)...

Thanks for the write-up, Jim!

You got that right, Wizard! Way to go, Brian.

Apparently, my city's library is getting this book.

Maybe I'll give it a read, even tho' I've read ALL of your columns/blogs that's most likely to be in this book. ;-)

Yesterday, I found the paperback in a local bookstore chain in São Paulo, Brazil. Good price - bought it on the spot, as I was curious to read it for a long time. I ended up DEVOURING the book in the same night. I read a lot, but it's not usual for me to read a whole book in the same day I buy them. It must be REALLY compelling. And this book is. Congrats, Brian.

Not for nothing, Tom, but half the book is stuff not from the column. ;)

Way to go, Brian.

Thanks, guys!

fantastic read brian; i handed it off to my non-comic loving roommate, and she's loving all the trivia!

I guess Wizard's not all bad.

Still waiting for my copy from my LCS. I had them order it through Diamond so they could get a cut and maybe order a few more copies for their shelves. I think I'll just stick to ordering comics from them from now on.

If anyone wants to send them their extra copies of Herogasm, it would be much appreciated too. :-|

nice to see even wizard endorsing the book for they do have some tastes and the book is one of them. for looking forward to seeing the new stuff put into the book

Well, I guess I'll have to read it then, eh? ;-)

No problem, Brian!
It was a great read and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so I definitely wanted to get it in the issue.
Keep up the good work, sir!

At first I read it was "Dave Gibbons reviewed Was Superman A Spy?" Which I was very surprised by. I didn't think that Dave Gibbons regularly doled out reviews. Jim Gibbons makes more sense.

I'll be ordering the book next time I order from Amazon.

[...] seen it in the ish, Mr. Cronin has scanned in the review and posted it over at his blog Comics Should Be Good, so head over there and read it. Once my review-y wordsmith abilities have wooed you, go buy the [...]

I just received a copy for my birthday yesterday, Brian. Can't wait to read it!

Yeah, I was definitely surprised by how much new stuff/stuff I didn't know was in the book.

My local Borders had the book prominently displayed. Looked great.

Is there any word on how the book is selling?
