If Siege #2 and Siege: Embedded #2 were coming out, this would probably be the best week of comics EVER!
But FIRST! Hopefully you've checked out the homepage or the Upcoming Events in the sidebar and noticed that in addition to our preliminary Free Comic Book Day announcements, we've also given the details on not one, but TWO, count 'em TWO! March Madness signing events!
- Saturday, March 6th - Matt Kindt (Super Spy), Ben Towle (Midnight Sun), and Michael Watkins (Guardians)!
- Saturday, March 13th - Chris Schweizer (Crogan's Vengeance), Sean McKeever (The Waiting Place), and Len Wallace (Love Buzz)!
Our goal is to spotlight independent creators and we're not done with the Madness yet, so stay tuned! As if all that wasn't enough, I've got some other FCBD announcements set for Saturday!
Finally, I'm hitting you with a bunch of singles for the ol' Emo Life!
Stephen's So-Called Emo Life!
- Ke$ha "Tik Tok" - my first instinct was to write this off as the same generic pop as most top 40 radio, but my head was really turned when I heard it in conjunction with this interview on NPR's Weekend Edition. I should probably make her song "Stephen" my ringtone.
- Ben Folds and Regina Spektor "You Don't Know Me" -the profanity in this song always catches me off guard, but the version that I linked should be clean.
- Weezer "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" - I was aware of this song when it came out and listened to it a couple of times. Then it came back and bit me hard when Kieron Gillen put it on his list of the best songs of 2009 and it became available on Rock Band DLC in the same week.
- Portal "Still Alive" - streams several times daily on the No Life Winamp radio station that we're always listening to at the store and I can't get it out of my head!
- Conan's Final Show - tonight on NBC at 11:30! Tune in and support Coco!
The following titles are scheduled to ship on Wednesday, January 27th, excluding some re-orders, trade paperbacks, and hardcovers, providing that nothing changes by the time the final invoice arrives on Monday:
