Arriving 7/29/2009

A quick housecleaning note before this week's list: I'm pretty strongly aware of how much and/or how few reviews get posted here. This site is my home page everytime I open any browser, so I'm probably more aware of it than you are.
I'd very much like to see more posts, but because no one is getting paid for any of this (we, frankly, don't even cover hosting costs), people are going to post as often as they can based on their own will, and nothing else.
So, posting anonymously to a thread some smart-ass comment like "Didn't this site used to do reviews" is, in fact NOT more likely to get us to post. For me, at least, it makes me LESS likely to do so.
I'm ITCHING to do a couple of reviews -- I've read some GREAT comics (and some REALLY shitty ones) in the last few weeks -- but things come down to time for me. When it is a choice between finishing my monthly order form and taking my 5 year old son to summer camp, and taking the time to write some non-shitted-out review, well the store and my boy are going to win each and every time. I'm sorry that the short-short deadline Gaiman gave me to arrange the event soaked my review time, but suck it up.
And I believe that virtually every SC writer was in San Diego last week (which actually consumes a month of head-CPU cycles, I remember from when I used to attend)
So what I'm saying is HAVE PATIENCE -- we ALL want more reviews, but being a smart-ass isn't going to get you there. I'm going to try DAMN HARD to get some written by Wednesday, but if I don't, well, there you go...
Here's this week's list, and now I have to finish the god-damn order form...
