On a side note this month, I've been promising that my 4th CD would be ready soon as well as a new print peroject, but quite frankly between having a new book out each week until the middle of the month (particularly the BIG one next week!), the end of school later this month, and my last minute decision to redesign the site, I just haven't had time for ANYTHING else! That said, I'll continue to work on these other things, but they might be a little slow in comming at least until the 19th, perhaps more like the 24th! Sorry. (Oh, and that Blackhawk article will also be later because it's LONG, and will take awhile to scan! It should be in my "Free Comic Book Day" special on May 4th.)

Also, I had to replace the London story schedualed for this issue due to an image problem I noticed at the last minute. I'll try to fix this and get the story to you ASAP!
