Sweet! But I owe you some money on S&H. And I just realized there should be an option to order both. I'll work on that one.
And autographed? By all of us? I can send it around. May take a bit longer to arrive, though. _________________ "Happy people have no stories" —Therapy? Shock Totem | The Eyesore Times | Getcha Rocks Off |

Dude, if you send it around I'd be the one to owe you shipping money, big time. Just sign it and send 'em my way. You're the boss, so that signature would be enough for me  |

Thanks! I had a busy year, so the stories in this one were largely picked by Shiney, Tyrion and Mercedes. Pretty cool to know I'm not needed! Haha. _________________ "Happy people have no stories" —Therapy? Shock Totem | The Eyesore Times | Getcha Rocks Off |

I think part of the reason I like that one the best is its brevity; so much evocative imagery crammed into so few lines.

| The first story was really good, until it ended. I was awaiting an explanation of sorts. _________________ |

| Sounds interesting, so I ordered both issues.
Also, I think that I am going to talk my wife into submitting a story. She's so shy about her writing, but I think that some of her stories are pretty cool. She's got a box of them just hiding in our closet..... |

| Just finished the last story I hadn't read from Issue #2, "Return From Dust".
I liked this one a lot even if it does remind me of Robocop run amok. The overall tone is cool and I like the ominous ending. "Free."
I have to say that Issue #2 is about on par with #1 as far as quality is concerned. I might give #2 the edge because of "Sweepers" and the true story by Mercedes (that one is actually probably scarier than anything else in the issue because it's true).
