I finally read FWB. I loved it.

BTW, Hicks wrote (http://www.friendswithboys.com/about/):
“Those familiar with Halifax will recognize certain familiar landmarks in the panel backgrounds. The comic is not set in Halifax due to logistics (I needed it to be set in a small town), but I decided to use Halifax as a model for the town Friends With Boys is set in.”

I too noted a vague stylistic tie to O'Malley, but you're right that FWB is a step in an awesome direction. To me, the art here seems like a perfect marriage between O'Malley and Chynna Clugston—but that might just be my affection for both artists governing my perceptions :) In any case, I had much more fun with FWB than I expected to have. And I expected to have fun!

The official publication date is tomorrow, according to the publisher. I can’t say when Diamond might distribute it. If not Wednesday, hopefully next week.

“now that the print version is available”

Is it available at comic book shops? I haven’t seen it, and it’s not on this week’s Previews shipping list.
