Speaking of Andi Watson: I just noticed (via Paul Gravett’s site) that another book of his was just published in the UK. First of a new series, actually: “Gum Girl” http://www.gumgirl.co.uk/

Second book coming in August.

Thank you for mentioning Skeleton Key, because somehow I hadn’t seen it when coming up with my order list for the month. I’d have hated to have missed it!

Amazon still has it listed as coming out tomorrow. Kodansha sends review copies after they're released, not before (as other companies do), so I am usually behind on their works.

What happened to Kodansha’s Sailor Moon vol.4? I haven’t seen anyone in all the manga posts talking about this upcoming release. Isn’t supposed to come out on tuesday? Has it been delayed or something?

I've not yet actually read the post yet, but I had to scroll through just to make sure you caught the Skeleton Key one-shot — not that I really thought you wouldn't. Watson’s cartooning is more amazing now than it ever was, and I’m thrilled to see it in color. Ain't that the truth? The SK backup that appeared in an issue of Image's Glister stunned me in how far its art had advanced — yet again — even though the slightly sketchy pen work was a step "back" (or, really, just sidewards) from the super-simple, super-slick ligne claire style towards which Andi had been working. I loved the main Glister content, too, although I have yet to get the newer installments in the UK Walker editions. I'm slightly disappointed that this color one-shot is only reprinting the DHP Skeleton Key stories, which I didn't recall from Previews, but I shan't miss the chance to vote with my wallet for more.
