Apparently sometime next spring they'll start reprinting volumes 1 & 2 of Casanovain 32 p. collections, with full color. With 2 new one-offs to fill things out. And then, I guess in 2011, volume 3 will begin.
Still all a long way off, but I needed some good news to get me through the rest of this week, so: yay.

My pusher has been telling me to read Casanova for ages.

You should. It has a giant robot. And regular sized robots. And AUs, and time travel, and evil twins, and plot twists, and love, and betrayal, and recipes, and spoilers, in plain sight, and sexy times.
And some Pynchon.

Glamcookie! I just discovered they're releasing a Powers Encyclopedia this week! It looks pretty cool, and it's only five goddamn bucks. I assume it won't be collected in a later trade since it's 64 pages all on its own. But even if it is, I need it to refresh my memory on everyone because...
Next week, Powers relaunches! Although...without Deena? That can't be right. I'm sure she'll be back eventually, but I guess she was sort of in exile at the end of the last issue, after all.
Also, the Dr. Horrible one-shot is out this week. I will actually be buying things at my comic book store!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Powers Encyclopedia
So cool! I'm sure DW has it on order, but will check with her just in case. Love me some Powers.
Dr. Horrible one-shot
Looking forward to that, too! And a shameless link to a Dr. Horrible sketch DW got at Comic-Con from the artist who did the comic: [link]

Neat! I got a signed DH promo card from her.
I'm sure DW has it on order, but will check with her just in case.
Yeah, I don't know if they would include that in a regular subscription. I'm looking forward to checking it out.
