So far, no one's gotten more than about 40% right. And in a day and age of spoiler junkies, that's pretty impressive to me that we've kept things that well under wraps. So, yes, there is a Stage 2. And a Stage 3. And 4. And so on. We're in this for the long haul.

Glenn, the attempts at hype might feel a little less forced if “Phase 2″ hadn’t been announced as March 7th: http://www.comicmix.com/news/2007/02/10/mike-gold-the-editor-babbles/

While I’m very interested in Mike’s stable of comics, this guerilla comment marketing is getting old.

Great work by Tim, John, and Mike. As for my reappearance coinciding with Mike Gold's, it begs the question: have you ever seen both of us in the same room at the same time? Now THAT can start a good round of speculation! IDW did indeed do trade collections of Grimjack and Sable. Great work by Tim, John, and Mike.

Didn't they put out a Sable mini around the same time? Or am I smoking the bad crack again? Didn’t IDW just put out a new Grimjack mini last year, when they first started putting out the trades?

Why's everybody looking at me? :) I've been busy with my day job so I haven't had a chance to post on ComiMix as often as I usually try to do. Fortunately, Mike and Glenn have been picking up lots of slack. But they do tend to be cryptic, don't they? Incidentally, I hope you had a chance to read my "Life with Lulu" column today. You're a big part of my happy Lulu memories, and I'm still so thrilled to call you my friend! Anyone who wants to respond to any of the columns I write on ComicMix can always comment on my Blogspot blog... What? Why’s everybody looking at me? :)
