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

Is there any word on how the book is selling?

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

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

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.

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!

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

Well, I guess I’ll have to read it then, eh?

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.

Way to go, Brian.

************

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.

Thanks, guys!

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.
