Blurbs
That is great! To be honest, I think that no one reads my stuff…so it is excellent to hear that I am wrong :)! Seattle is a great town. I only visited once for a couple of days, but I loved it and would greatly enjoy going back someday.

Alex, I was visiting Seattle and stopped by Xanadu downtown. An employee was talking about “Killer” via Archaia and I asked if he’d read “Few Rubles More” published by same and this dude flipped out saying he LOVED your work and that “Mouse Guard” short was awesome, too. Totally random, but very cool!
I have been gone for a bit (took a bunch of time out to put together and publish my first sketchbook), but I am back :) Glad you liked the conclusion of For A Few Rubles More. I got a short story coming up in Mouse Guard Legends #1…and I might be doing Dark Crystal material…or maybe not.

Received and read “For A Few Rubles More” 3&4 combo, Alex. Great stuff! All the fighting was badass, and that 3-level layout through #4 was neat-O. Awesome job!
Thought you might dig some of these: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6639642
Hey man, you hooked me up with a bunch of bags and boards a long while ago, I was wondering if you had anymore I could get from you. If not no worries. :)
Beetle,
Anyway I can talk you into posting your review of the Robotika hardcover in the “customer review” section for the solicitation of the second print? It might temp some folks to check it out.
Yea dude… I’ve got a stack of comics on my desk about 20 deep that I need to read… too much going on!
Beetle said:
Man, are you as crazy busy as I am? I’m really looking forward to holidays to get through TONS of back issues.
Sure thing Beet, Resistance 2 is amazing. I’ve been playing Little Big Planet, I never thought I would like it but I do. Now I’m playing Lego Batman, I may as well do something while waiting for my Home beta invite. :s
I got them in the mail today! I love getting packages in the mail. Thanks a lot!
Beetle said:
I’ve easily got another 7+ 30-packs of bags & boards. Reply blurb with your email address and I’ll get more shipping details from you then.
I am very glad you have enjoyed Robotika :) Thank you for supporting the book and for taking the time to write a review. That is very much appreciated.
If you have a chance, let me know if you feel that the dialogue in the new series is more solid. I have asked David Moran to help me out on “A Few Rubles More” because, like you, I thought I was being inconsistent.
By the way, you nailed my my RPG roots. I spent almost 10 years illustrating RPG manuals for White Wolf Games :)
Again, thank you!
Beetle said:
w00t, just read “Robotika” HC last night. I’ll try and get a review up shortly!
Thanks Beetle!
Beetle said:
Thanks for pointing out the preview. Looks and reads great! Ordered!
Just got the bags and boards today. Thanks a bunch!
Beetle said:
Reply to this blurb with your email address and we’ll work out the bag & board shipping extravaganza. I’ll delete the blurb you send me so as not to attract spam bots.
Cool man, thanks! Hey I’ve had to keep back on my subscriptions as of late and am sorta looking for really the must have stuff right now. If you could only get 5 books what would they be?
Beetle said:
Start with #855 or #858. Pretty darn solid and fun since then.
Hey, I was checking out the Action Comics page because I was thinking about giving it a shot and I saw you were a subscriber. How’s Action Comics been so far, I’ve never really been a Superman fan but I’ve heard such great things about this book.
Wheres a good issue to start for this?
Hey dude, thanks! Much appreciated. I cannot tell you how psyched I am. I’ve been out of the IT world since December 2007. It’s been so tough to find work. Anyway, thanks again. Take it easy.

Congrats on the new IT job. Let’s hear it for geek salaries that fund geek habits!
http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?distro=ubuntu&id=31453%2C31404&location=121&sub=++++&x=92&y=13 Exit out the download, and then click on the link that that page gives to go to Opera’s offical surveymonkey page and tell THEM how you feel! :) They ask you not only how you think they’re doing, but what you think is most important in a browser, so they know where to put their resources. Opera loves their customers. :)

heh. Your week of Opera eval is UP! You should see the notes. Not pretty. I REFUSE to now try out its mail feature—you can’t make me! Oh BTW, is there a hot-key sequence or button for bringing up speed dial withOUT opening a new tab? Uh… that doesn’t mean I’m using Opera anymore or…grrr Dammit.
Err… if you’re trying to get me to view something, you should probably link to it. I have NO idea what you’re talking about. I don’t know if there’s a hotkey sequence for a new speed dial without a new tab (I don’t know all the hotkeys by any means) but I know that in the last versions of Opera that was actually the default, and I had to go to settings to change it. Since you’re saying this, I suppose they heard that the more popular thing was as a New Tab, but I’m sure you can change it back. :) It’s important to remember that with any browser, you’ll have to go it and change those silly little things to the way you like it. Nothing will come fitted to suit EVERYONE.

Have you tried Opera’s mail? I just switched from Thunderbird and I LOVE IT! I didn’t think I would. Like… “Ew… email… in a web browser? That’s stupid!” but… oh my god… it does everything… and it’s so pretty (Opera always reminds me of being in an Ikea) and organized. I LOVE it. I can’t place my finger EXACTLY on what I like about it, but if you already have it installed, I’d try it. :)
Everything’s gonna be okay! Here’s a glass of milk sweetheart!! haha

Thanks for assuaging my comic book “oh noooos!” delivery fears. ;)
Is this your whole list? Cause Runaways is fantastic… well, Whedon is on it now (gag) but Terry Moore is about to come on and fix that and make it great again. The first digest is only 6.39 at HeavyInk http://heavyink.com/search?q=runaways#preview
