Three things as I continue catching up with some old news, starting with this awesome pin-up by my good friend Gavin Spence. I love how he even worked in the zipatone effect. Thanks, Gav!

Then there’s this picture that Robot God Akamatsu‘s writer James Biggie posted with evidence of his son’s very discerning taste in literature.

And finally, my friend JK Parkin very nicely talked about Kill All Monsters in Robot 6′s Report Card column after the graphic novel hit stores last year. I’ve known JK a long time and we have really similar tastes in comics, so it makes me especially happy that he digs KAM.

He writes, “May and Copland have engaged in some pretty cool world-building, taking the basic idea and running with it until they have something special that goes way beyond what you might expect from ‘another giant monster title.’” Thanks so much, JK!
