The last person he thought he'd ever see is back, and she needs his help. Suddenly, Tyler McAllister is drawn back into the world that he thought he had left behind — of metahuman espionage and all-too-human betrayal — that nearly cost him his life.

Daily-ish posts from (usually) Bram and (sometimes) Monica about comics in general, this comic in particular, art, design, publishing, visual culture, and far, far too many things about actual squirrels.

Issue 1.10 is available for download. Next month, Pete's going to feature Janet in a Squirrel Tales about Bookman's early days as director. If you'd like to be alerted when it's posted, just send an email. Bram 8.27.2006
With any luck, my parents haven't sold my old issues of Jet Danger, Agent of R.A.N.G.E.R. to fund their retirement. Marc's just done a pinup, and it got us started reminiscing over at his blog. You should leave a comment with your memories there. Bram 8.26.2006
The innaworld guy is featured in the latest Geico spot. Hearing him always always reminds us that "people like knowing a movie’s going to be ‘in a world'." Bram 8.24.2006
No blogging last night, out with some friends (at their recommendation) to see DeVotchKa. They've just done the soundtrack for Little Miss Sunshine, so check 'em out before they get huge. A few downloads at MySpace. Bram 8.23.2006

The Newsarama blog has an article about Wally Wood's 22 Panels That Always Work and the definitive version from the original drawings that is now available. We first learned about it a couple months back when Jeff passed it along after a discussion about an especially talky RBS. Bram 8.20.2006
This morning on NPR, Edward Tufte reminded us of the dangers of PowerPoint. Not of hours lost in pointless presentations, but the very real danger that important information is being missed. And he's not the first to notice. Bram 8.19.2006
In a world...where betrayal becomes deceit that turns into lies, Owen Wilson is James Bond, 007, in Only the Lonely Die Alone. And here's the theme song. Bram 8.18.2006

After I wrote about The Colony, Marc and I corresponded and he agreed to do a pinup for the next book. Well, this past weekend, he finished it off and posted the art. We think you'll agree it's pretty amazing. Bram 8.12.2006
On impulse at the comic shop yesterday, picked up Dusty Star. I'm not entirely decided about it as regular purchase, but a lot of little touches combine to make it really well-designed, good-looking book. That cover at the Web site isn't the actual issue 1 cover. Bram 8.11.2006

More than a week later than all the adblogs — which has gotta be, like, a century in Internet time — this viral video from Smirnoff. And a shout-out to all my homies back in my native land, keepin' it real New England style. Note: my trips to the Cape were nothing like this. Bram 8.09.2006

Hey, who doesn't like a good, dark teen movie? From the premise, I thought it was going to be maybe more ironic, humorous, but Brick is noir, through and through. And well worth seeking out. Bram 8.03.2006
