Well, actually it was aluminum, as that’s somehow better, but: same cool process. Took us seventy-five or eighty minutes to get just four of them done, I mean.

Coming at us all soon! Shane Ghostkeeper, Marin Ireland, Owen Teale. Gonna be just amazing-cool. And? From what I hear, there may even be some fun with background noise now and then, in this production. “Excited” doesn’t really cover it.

Coming in October, all eighteen issues, with an intro I just wrote, and probably some ashcan type stuff in back:
First industry review (yes?), by, of course, Becky Spratford: David Agranoff did a write-up as well—and we recorded a podcast episode of it, posting shortly: And, can there be a cooler site-title than “Final Girl Reviews?” And here’s Pages and Polish, coming at you live: And, All the Pretty Lists, as Mr. Cormac might have
wow: first time I’ve done one of these where I’m not checking the “paleo” category—still reading a lot of it, of course, just probably not logging it. also, have found a YouTube channel or two that does little mini-documentaries on the stuff, so, you know: something to watch over lunch, each day . . .
