Welcome to the 81st installment of the new Leave Your Spandex @t the Door! As you’re reading this column, I’m most likely skinny dipping in a glorious sunny beach in my home island of Milos in Greece!

The columns continue to run while I’m away of course, with a series of preview pages from upcoming Boom Studios comics and some advance reviews! The reviews and Indy news will resume in September!

Also, be sure to check out last Friday’s Caught In the Nexus Ted Naifeh interview on How Loathsome by Will Cooling and myself, and coming Friday’s interview with Vasilis Lolos and Rick Spears on Pirates of the Caribbean.
