Alabaster: Wolves is definitely out - I picked up my copy from my local comics store on the way in to work this morning. I haven't yet had a chance to look at it.

Maybe having a kid of my own makes me get out and fight when I'd rather stay home and write. I dunno. But if the only people having babies are silly Mormon twits . . .

~20 billion human being = nothing much else on earth.
