Unless you’ve been off-planet this past week, I’m sure you’ve see news of Y: The Last Party everywhere.
Yesterday the illustrious NY Times ran a piece on it. You can read that here.
The VIP tickets were an instant sell-out, but if you’re in or near the LA area and still want to attend, fear not! A limited number of standing-room-only tickets will still be available the day of the event for $25. For all details stop by the CBLDF MySpace page.
Whenever people come into the shop looking for a good old-fashioned science fiction yarn with spaceships and the works, it’s actually very hard to find something new and exciting for them that fits the description. But now, as a retailer, I’m well-armed for the next such encounter by Ennis and Erskine’s Dan Dare. Having never read one of the previous incarnations of the property, I’m still completely able to enjoy it, and readers who are familiar with previous incarnations seem to agree. This is a solid, thoroughly entertaining read: space battles, political intrigue, land battles, alien menaces, black holes, Britain and the good old days. If you missed the first couple issues, now’s the time to catch up.
PS – I have just four additional words for this week’s issue: Brendan McCarthy Variant Cover
