    December 1, 2011 12:33 pm Hey Jason - I think it's just a matter of taste. It's been a little while since I read Heavy Liquid, but I just didn't like it that much. I wanted to give an overview of Pope's work--1 thing from DC Universe, 1 from Vertigo, 1 self-published, 1 Dark Horse. Given that it's not my favorite work by him, Heavy Liquid didn't fit that. To anyone reading this, though, if you like other Pope books, I'd definitely track it down. I think anything by him is worth a look.
    December 1, 2011 12:31 pm Hey Jared - I don't think Escapo is going to be in the new One Trick Rip-Off edition, but I can't say that definitively. I just check Amazon; I didn't realize it was going for such high prices! Maybe another online comic shop?
    October 31, 2011 9:45 am Oh, good point on the NSFW. Thanks. I've added it. Didn't realize you were in Tokyo. Shipping it there may indeed be a bit tougher, but I wouldn't be shocked in they'd do it. Now, whether you want to pay that shipping fee, that's another question!
    October 29, 2011 2:03 pm Hey Cormac - It's definitely a tough story to find in stores, but that link at the top of the review to Sleazy Slice will take you to the publisher's website where you can buy it through mail order. Simmons has stories in a bunch of other issues of Sleazy Slice, too.
    October 7, 2011 11:24 pm Thanks! If you like Sparkplug, you're going to dig next week's review.
    May 14, 2011 11:31 am @HailScott - I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed Termites. Thanks for the kind words! Hope you dig the other stories, too.

    @ctrosejr - It's actually not intentionally about HCs, just ended up that way this month. The column only focuses on back of Previews titles, but it pained me to have to leave Witch Doctor out. I think that's going to be a good one!
    December 8, 2010 12:30 pm @Diabhol & @cskilpatrick - Oops, my mistake. I haven't read the series yet and apparently made an assumption I shouldn't have. Thanks for the correction.
    October 21, 2010 3:42 pm @OliverTwist - No worries - I'll refund 15% of the order to your PayPal account. I'll have it to you by the weekend (but probably sooner). Thanks for the order!

    Glad to see everyone's in the mood for scary comics this month! I think you'll like what I have on tap next week.

    @Drake - If you enjoy being disturbed by Josh Simmons, you'll dig Suehiro Maruo next week.

    @Patman2 - Thanks! 

    @HailScott - Thanks very much! I appreciate it. It's best to buy Split Lip direct from me (mostly because it's available at Amazon or Diamond :-)).

    In fact, I've got a special offer for iFanboy readers for the rest of October. If you buy anything from the Split Lip store - http://store.splitlipcomic.com/ - and enter coupon code IFAN10 at checkout, you'll get 15% off your entire order. Thanks for your support!
