The muffled sound of a “thud” outside let me know that that this had arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a note on the front reminding me of what was waiting on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as the prophecy foretold…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s close out with a look inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, Mr. Grell’s health isn’t the greatest these days, but a second volume is already in the works and is likely to show up in a future Mail Call, as will the omnibuses collecting his run on Warlord<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The omnibus releases probably won’t stop me from finishing up with compiling a complete run of the series in floppy form, one of these days, so you’ll probably se seeing some of those, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, there are other non-Grell items that will be making a thud outside my door, so check back soon for the next Mail Call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But wait! There’s more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my excitement, I forgot to include these prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
