"THE EXTREMELY SMELLY ISLAND:
Emi obtains a bottle of the popular but hard-to-find scent Sédécanne, the "perfume of sad love," and brings it to the "bar" (or whatever it is). It has an unusual smell and Jin asks her if it has a story. The rest of…"
"Far be it from me to discourage discussion, but I have no plans to read One World Under Doom. I'd read a discussion of it, but I likely wouldn't have much to say.

I have spoken some about what happened after I succumbed to NUF, but not about what led to it. I had followed Valiant since the very begining, but dropped out toward the end. When my LCS at the time opened up its nigh-legendary "back…"
"TOWN WITHOUT WORDS:

"GORILLA COMICS:
"Gorilla" was an imprint of Image Comics launched in 2000. I was still deep in the throes of NUF, but I nevertheless gave it more of a chance than I had Crossgen. I bought one issue each of the following...
