NCBD:

Pretty big haul this week. Damn. 

Not entirely sure I'll be continuing this one, but I can at least give it to the end of the second issue, if not the first arc (much like the last).

A Halloween one-off that immediately earns my $$$ by featuring not just Moon Knight but Man-Thing (aka Ted) on the cover. SOLD!

The final issue! Holy sh*t! End of an era indeed. I will miss Deadly Class so very much. This and Black Science - both by Rick Remender - defined a certain era of my life, and as sad as I was to see Black Science end a few years ago, it's Deadly Class that will be taking my heart with it. That said, I always prefer the books that leave too soon than those that overstay their welcome. Kudos to Mr. Remender for holding his ground on all these titles launched under his Giant Generator imprint. Can't wait to see what's next.

Moon Knight!

Issue one blew me away. 

So far so good on this Predator series. This issue, I believe we have a big throw-down coming. 

Final Issue? I'm not really sure. This story is, as I've said previously, completely insane. 

Yes! Finally, the fireman's story!

I really can't wait for this series to get in gear; feels like it's been MONTHS since issue #1. 

Love this cover. That face on Forge's vest - Krakoa? Either way, it's creepin' me the f*&k out.

Card:

I've been wanting to pull the Raven Tarot back out, but as I've been in three-card-spread mode, and I can't imagine doing a spread with all Major Arcana cards, I had to find a way to augment the reading. Then I thought, hell -why not mix two decks. Voila! A lot of good ideas bring abound fresh ideas, fresh breath and better circumstances.
