  • by Brad Curran
  • Monday, September 15th, 2008 at 10:22 PM EST

Because the hate thing wound up outnumbering the love, and that’s not right. Well, that and it didn’t sit well with some of the bloggers I said I didn’t like, and I feel bad about that. Who knew that people don’t like being told that you make them hate comics? Took me by surprise. Really, […]

So much for a thin week! Well, for me. This like 1/5th of Burgas’s weekly haul.
Speaking of Burgas, I actually feel bad about stealing the venom from him. Especially because I was barely even trying, really. He really has to really work to get people howling for his blood; apparently, it just comes naturally […]

I could do them as fan fic, but blogging is nerdy enough for me, thanks. Here’s some fake solicitation copy/pitches to hype them up. Best I can muster with Puzzle Quest calling my name.
