THE HYPERNATURALS #11
The penultimate issue!
Seems like a lot of Boom! series go for 12 issues. I think Abnett & Lanning have some other stuff coming up that will be eating up their time....

Wow, what a deal. But honestly, that amount of pages in a digest? That scares me. The binding better be a good one.

Just read this CBR article on Dream Thief from Dark Horse:
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page ... e&id=43820

I'm adding this to my March order.....
DREAM THIEF #1 (of 5)
Jai Nitz (W), Greg Smallwood (A), and Alex Ross (Cover)
After stealing an Aboriginal mask from a museum, John Lincoln realizes that the spirits of the vengeful dead are possessing his body and mind while he sleeps! His old problems have been replaced by bloody hands and the disposal of bodies—and now remembering where he spent last night has never been more important!

Looks pretty cool. Titan is getting some great British 2000AD stuff to the US....
Numbercruncher #1
Writer(s): Si Spurrier
Artist Name(s): P.J. Holden
Dying young, a brilliant Mathematician discovers a way to cheat the terrifying Divine Calculator.
He schemes to be endlessly reincarnated in the life of the woman he loves, no matter how often the violent bailiffs of the Karmic Accountancy cut short each life.
It falls to one such Karmic agent - the surly (bleep) Zane - to put a stop to the time-twisting romance once and for all, before the Mathematician can pull-off his greatest trick and escape Existential Justice forever!

Wow. Is this the first time?

Friday is my daughter's birthday so if I am able to get on the call, it will be late.

Could be...I dialed in from my mobile when I was driving up to APE for a bit....

Wedding starts at 4pm w/ reception after, so if the call goes late I may be able to hit the tail end. I'll check when I get home.

What's the deal on Clone? Any good? I'm trying to decide whether to order the 1st trade. I read issue 1 and kind of liked it, but didn't love it. Did it get better?
