TODAY'S 'MAIN FEATURE':

I received a promo copy in the mail for issue #9, which to my surprise was a "full sized comic book".  Full size in regards to dimensions of the printed format. 

There were eight (8) black and white interior pages, sandwiched between color front and back covers.

I found this new format for this series to be eye opening to say the least!

Yeah, I continued to enjoy Jim Main's writing for this series, but the art and lettering by John Lambert really jumped up and out at me in this larger size!  He puts a lot of effort into his artwork on this series, which can be seen even better in the new larger published size!  

And the color covers by Marc Haines was a good difference from the earlier black & white covers too!

If YOU haven't caught the earlier 8 issues yet, there is still opportunity for you to do so!

Just click the following link:

There you will find a limited time special to pick up all 8 of the earlier mini-comic sized issues!

Here's Jim promotional verbage for this special:

TODAY'S FEATURETTE: I realize that this "Featurette" may be a little late in getting published.  BUT, with all the snow happening in and around New York City this week, I wanted to re-mention the show here today. That's because several creators are planning on attending this show tomorrow, Saturday, February 26th, including several Facebook Friends. Matter of fact, one of them, Dave Fox, created an 'Event Page' at Facebook informing Facebook Friends and others that he will definitely be there tomorrow! So, I wanted to feature just one of Dave's many works from the past below. Being a Fantastic Four Fan from 1962, this is one of the projects that he has been involved in that caught my eyes!     Here is the link to the Facebook Event Page about what Dave Fox is having at the comic con: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=322167452894  If You can's make it to this show because getting there is too hare for you, then check out Dave's own web site at: http://www.davefoxart.com. You can also see more of the comic con's site also at: http://www.nycbm.com/ There Mike has the following message as of this blog post's posting time: ”The SNOW will not stop the SHOW, NYCBM will still take place this Saturday!
