Airman Chris left these among the magazines in a glitzy office lobby:
Take that, Downey Jr.
AIR #2 is in stores today. For those of you who speculated there were going to be more fantasy elements…you were right.
Also, an AIRlift Update: For various reasons, I have been asked NOT to encourage people to put copies of AIR on bookstore shelves. Consider my wrist slapped.
So we’re taking it to the streets. I’m [...]

Jared B. stuck this on an auspicious shelf in Bethlehem’s Moravian Book Shop–which, he tells me, is the oldest continuously operative bookstore in the nation. (Est 1745.)

My favorite piece of furniture:
Vixen: Return of the Lion is already Wikipedia’ed.
