Matt is very very at it again. Here’s the write up:

True story: in 1899, Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla decided to end war forever. With Twain’s connections and Tesla’s inventions, they went into business, selling world peace.

It’s coming from Image Comics in May. For those who are comics savvy, the super secret order code is : MAR06 1824.

There is also this:

And seeing as I want to try to keep spreading info and inspiration as much as possible while sticking with the theme of this post, go pick up this earlier Fraction comic:

This book includes the scripts for all three issues of Rex Mantooth: Kung Fu Gorilla with the actual drawrings on each facing page and – the best part – Fraction’s commentary. It’s like a special edition DVD in convenient book form. This is some truly funny stuff. Enjoy.

I’ve never heard of this Matt Fraction fellow. If Fraction is his actual family name, wow, good for him. It’s pretty cool. But if it’s his special “I’m-A-Comic-Book-Writer” name, than I think this greatly lessens its, and by extension his, coolness. Makes him sound like a poseur. But his comics seem interesting. The Five Fists of Science seems kind of like a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: the America Version. Even a knock-off of that could be good.

Yo, Craig – can you explain more about this: “It’s coming from Image Comics in May. For those who are comics savvy, the super secret order code is : MAR06 1824.”

Reason I ask, is because March 6 is my birthday. And if there’s any possible connection between that date and me becoming somehow nerdier than I already am…then I am completely interested in learning more.

As it stands, I share a birthday with Shaq, David Gilmour, and I believe Cindy Crawford. Which makes sense because I can dunk, play guitar, and be beautiful all at the same time. But you knew that…

Dr. Crane -

Trust me on this – whether you enjoy his pseudonym or not, nothing is diminishing my boy’s coolness. I fully reccomend to you any of his comics… most especially his run in the ’30 Days of Night’ series. Or the Wolverine issue he wrote, which was stunningly neat-o. But we can nerd out in private about these things.

Prof. Harwell –

That number is simply for those who are familiar with ordering their comics using ordering codes. I have tried this in the past and failed. I have been greeted with blank stares. But this, I’m sure, is my own fault.

Now please explain this – “I believe Cindy Crawford.” Why shouldn’t you?

Yeah, I’ll explain it. I left out a comma. Happy? I effed up. That’s right, Grammar Hitler. I SCREWED UP. Sue me.

Let me try again: As it stands, I share a birthday with Shaq, David Gilmour, and, I believe, Craig Moorhead is dead to me.

Punctuate THAT, bitch.

Harwell’s getting saucy in his old age. Lovin’ it.

I’ll take your word for it, Craig. I won’t hold his pseudonym against him. My new pseudonym, by the way, is Billy Decimal.
