You can read my official SPC report at PW, with news and notes, but I'm guessing that everyone who was at SPX is probably, like me, realizing that the magic is over and we have a whole year to go, or maybe a few weeks if you count APE, but in the meantime, I can keep the magic going a few moments more by rounding up some of the magical, mystical memories of SPX. I said there were a few people who didn't have a good time, and you can find one of two on Tumblr who sat outside hotel rooms sadly waiting for the person with the key to come back.

Henni is the tale of a young girl named Henni who lives in a structured society where religion is the last word of the law. She goes off on her own to discover truth and adventure. The story is drawn in s style reminiscent of classic children's books, contrasting carefree childhood with the struggle against dogma.

And it's a doozy as always -- PR provided some highlights but I can tell you I won't miss that alt-weekly panel....90s NOSTALGIA PEOPLE....

Lots of new entries this month, including smash-hit new books from Robert Kirkman and Kieron Gillen and a first ever official comic for a cult film favourite. Elsewhere Valiant continue to falter despite the new Armor Hunters crossover, and Zenescope seem to be similarly slipping down and off the sales chart with their numbers dropping to new lows.
