Re: Previews Spotlight #098 (Dec->Feb) Deadline: Sat AM, Dec
I don't know yet if I'll be getting the Neal Adams' Superman mini-series. I might because it's a bit of a light month for me so far, after looking at the online February solicits for the major publishers. It depends on what catches my interest in the back of Previews, like if Terry Moore's Rachel Rising will release an issue in February or TwoMorrows has a magazine I like.

Oliver is a good dog. A family dog. But without warning, he’s sentenced to Jackson Kennel, where he’s
instantly placed on Death Row with the rest of his fellow inmates, awaiting a lethal appointment on The
Table if salvation doesn’t come. He’ll need help escaping the Kennel, but when the stress of prison life
builds, he starts escaping reality instead, imagining a fantasy world of cartoon friends. It’s time to break
out…into a musical number?

Kudos to all of the contributors. I decided to bow out on the Neal Adams Coming of the Supermen discussion. Maybe I will spotlight it when they collect it in trade. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Dear Drew,
That's no problem giving a shout out to you and brother's podcast. I love the podcast. I still got to get around in submitting an iTunes review.
I just want to be that 25th reviewer. (Ha. Ha.) I'm joking.
Seriously, I probably submit a review soon because these are the only two (your's and John's) comic book review podcast I listen to every week.
