We went a bit mad this week, offering up around 37 posts in as many hours over the Thanksgiving holiday period, including a page from Alan Moore's new graphic novel Neonomicon and a Jock Batman.
So what else been has happening? Well, Wednesday was one of the bigger shipping weeks for comic stores in time for the post-Thanksgiving spending spree that the Pilgrim Fathers envisioned. Thankfully I gave you all some Brit DVDs to spend your remaining money on.

Mark Evanier talked about the late Ken Krueger, Marvel instigated a new character policy, Alice and Peter were on the block, Martha Jones' marital status,
As one University launches a new raft of comics-related courses, Dennis O'Neil continues his Writing Comics and Graphic Novels course and Professor Ethan Watrall returns for a stunningly comprehensive lecture on Dr Wertham.
