The issue is absolutely, amazingly beautiful! Great job all staff on the layout, images, editing and everything else that went into its production! Now I can't wait for the hard copy to ship; I'm preordering mine right now. Kudos again! |

Yeah, best cover yet; Kinuko really came through with that cover.
"It looks like Hot Tails!" my wife squealed.
(If you don't know what Hot Tails is, I sure as hell am not going to tell you. If you do know and are wondering why my wife would say that, I sure as hell am not going to tell you that either. |

I just googled Hot Tails and... wow.
Anyways! Yeah, this is a great issue. I read it a few hours ago and really enjoyed it. The comic was great like always, the E3 coverage funny and informative, and even the non-E3 stuff was really good. If you guys keep ramping up the quality of the writing I'm going to have to start struggling to keep up. |

shit, i forgot you live in not jersey.
um, bayonne, is like...jesus, post-guido apocalypse of old school italians, large immigrant families and a whole slew of guidified, melting-pot meatheads of various race and creed. from my recent ohio excursion i am trying to find a comparison and none exist.
just take my word for it; an escort service from bayonne would be BAD MEDICINE. _________________

That sounds very interesting, in a sick way. Like a mockumentary/documentary way.
Issue 6 is great, amazing as usual. I'll place my order soon. _________________

I think we should include with every issue a copy of this "Hot Tails!"
Just so I can see what it is, that is. _________________

Geez, I thought everyone had heard of Hot Tails. Maybe I just read too much hentai as a kid.
Anyways, that is a badass cover, and the whole issue looks really, really nice. _________________

I just got my paper copies, and the thing looks gorgeous, both the color cover and the black-and-white insides. _________________ It's the saw of the table! |
