New Release: Hate Annual #7
Hate Annual #7By Peter Bagge The latest installment in the increasingly eccentric life of Buddy "The Crazy Guy Who Works at the Dump" Bradley involves a war over scrap metal, of all things, when Buddy's old pal and business partner Jay takes over the auto junk yard next door to Buddy's place in an attempt to capitalize on the rising value of used steel.

A Devilish Collection
I don't usually link to reviews, but I wanted to share this Playboy review of Frank Thorne's Complete Iron Devil collection because it's a book that's probably flown under the radar of a lot of Fanta fans, since it's technically an Eros book.
