VELOCITY COMICS NEWS 2-14-10

I wanted to begin this by wishing you all a happy Valentines Day, but then I was like, "Isn't Valentines day just some holiday dreamed up by greeting card companies in order to get people to wish one another things?" They really expect us to spend an entire day letting our loved one know that we appreciate them? That's the biggest load of bull since Thanksgiving, if you ask me.

FIRST: Home alone today, fending off loneliness by staring at your computer screen? Why not direct your attention to our newest CHEAT SHEET! It's one of the best ever, featuring such books as:
BRIGHTEST DAY: DC's biweekly follow-up to BLACKEST NIGHT!
TURF: Written by British superstar television personality JONATHAN ROSS and penciled by TOMMY LEE EDWARDS!
SHIELD: The secret history of the Marvel Universe, as interpreted by JONATHAN HICKMAN.
BLACK WIDOW: An all new ongoing series featuring that Russian lady!
WILSON: NEW DAN CLOWES! NEEEEEEW DAAAAAAN CLOOOOOOOOWES!
WEATHERCRAFT: New Jim Woodring!
BODYWORLD: New Dash Shaw!

Now isn't there are pretty good chance that at least one of these books is just what it will take the fill the hole at the center of your being? Doesn't the void gnaw? Check out the new cheat, available now at http://www.velocitycomics.com/ !

SECOND: To our loyal subscribers--if you haven't been around in a while, due to either snowy weather or some other nonsense, we miss you. Buy some comics and at least you're guaranteed SOME human interaction today.
