It's like an iceberg of a story where we can just see the tip, and the rest is left for us to figure out. It's smart writing, very very smart. You should reread the story it’s totally great.

He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night." “And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock.

I'm glad it's getting a bit of spotlight not that it's wrapped up. I'd definitely buy twice and get the trade. Yay for pre-ordering, and yay for this book!

I remember a demanding e-mail from Warren Ellis' Bad Signal list saying we all needed to buy it, and I did. Talk about an introduction to the potential of comics in the mid-aughts...I'm so happy to see this one wrap up, and I hope a trade is in the offing; I will gladly double-dip and buy it, maybe giving away the single issues to a friend who will hopefully enjoy it too.

My local didn't order any and I missed any notice it was coming myself. I happened to be in another shop when the clerks were discussing giving the only copy they got to a particular customer, thinking he might like it. I immediately spoke out and said, 'Me! Sell it to me!' By the way, I almost missed this issue altogether. My local didn’t order any and I missed any notice it was coming myself.
