Everything contained herein is IMO. Duh, 'cuz I wrote it.

CLIP AND SAVE!
--------------------
MAXIMUM ("I left by choice, do you hear! BY CHOICE!!!") PRESS:
==============================================================
Footsoldiers #2 (Krueger & Giffen/Hester). Beware...The Travesty
Tapestry!

Santa the Barbarian (Liefeld/Mhan/Fraga/Pat Lee). 'Nuff said.

As the split from Image proceeds, the following are now Maximum
Spin Control Press titles:
Glory #18 (Duffy & Benes).
Blindside #3 (Fleming & Mychaels).
Youngblood #15 (Liefeld/Stephenson & Stucker).
NewMen #25 (Stephenson & Sprouse). You know, now that I've seen it, I
gotta say NewMen is pretty damn good. Kind of like the early issues of
LSH v4.

MOJO PRESS:

Lansdale & Erickson, Robert Bloch & Hester, Nancy Collins, Roger Zelazny,
Jerry Prosser, and a new Elric story by Moorcock & Pensa.

Atomic Chili: The Illustrated Joe R. Lansdale TPB (Lansdale & Various).
Reprints a bunch of short Lansdale comix.

SLAVE LABOR/AMAZE INK:
======================
Dr. Radium's 10th Anniversary Special (Saavedra). The Doc battles
giant monsters and his own expanding cranium. In other news, FOX
Kids' Network has optioned Dr. Radium.

Hero Sandwich: The Works TPB (Vado & Austen/Krause/Felchle/Baroza).
All 9 issues plus extras. Always wondered what happened to Chuck
Austen...

TOP COW ("Is he gone yet? Is it safe to come back now?") COMICS:
================================================================
Weapon Zero/Silver Surfer (W.Simonson & Silvestri/Tan). Begins the 8-part
"Devil's Reign" crossover with Marvel. Mephisto invades the Top Cow
universe.

Ballistic/Wolverine (Hama & Benitez). More crossover.

TOPPS:

ULTIMATE CREATIONS:
===================
Warrior Winterwonderland (Hellwig & various). If any of you our there did
buy Previews, please turn to page 290. Thank you. The rest of you, enjoy
excerpts from another stirring text piece by wrestler/author/philospher-
king/barbarian/court jester/rennaisance man, Jim "Ulimate Warrior"
Hellwig:
"It takes a very strong 'self' sense of the powers of belief to instill
them within others around you. I have this. I believe I am who I am today
for this very purpose, to instill in others the strength to 'Always Be-
lieve'." Dude, I bet he could powerslam Tony Robbins, L.Ron Hubbard, AND
the corpse of Jim Jones all at once!

The comic? Oh yeah, it's got art by Sears, Turner, Stroman, Henry, Lim,
Hoberg, Nelson, Lawlis, and others.

META: games, toys, books, etc.
