And finally...if you look over to the icons on the left, they no longer send you to our individual emails but to our individual TUMBLRs. The idea was to expand how and where we talk about comics without clogging up this blog with less thought-out comics writing...as well as allow us all to talk about and highlight some non-comics stuff we're into lately. Below you'll find a link to each of our respective TUMBLRs as well as our personal Twitters, too. Of course, there's the blog's Twitter here which we've been kinda neglecting, but we'll get back to soon, we promise.
