I might actually have to spend real cash monies on this, which I haven’t done on comics since my FLCBS closed and filled me with sadness.

Speaking of positive role models for girls in an unusually framed fantasy comic, have you by chance read Thieves and Kings, Amp? great series, I’ve been a fan for a couple years now, ever since I ran across The Walking Mage spinoff graphic novel.

Oh, and put me down for a preorder of a paper copy. If I have it digital, I know I’d just be tempted to make copies to give to people, and for a small print run like this, that would be genuinely unethical, as opposed to ripping off Marvel by reading a CBR of the latest issue to keep me up to date on why I hate Joe Q so much.

Please add me to your preorder list.

So now may I spill my pent-up speculations and hyperventilations about the end of the book, and how the old witch was actually Mirka’s father who had been changed by Voldemort, but who was still good at heart (the witch/father, not Voldy), whereas the bullies were actually agents of the Rabbi who is on a rival quest to beat the knowledge of the sword out of the witch and find it for themselves, thereby gaining magical powers to make the whole world Jewish and sepia-toned, but just when Mirka finds the place where the sword should be, she merely finds a locket bearing a note that says, “Sword broken. Forging anew. Then putting into museum. (signed) Indiana J.” …

Or should I hold off on that?
