Greetings and salutations dear Firesiders. We’ve missed you, but pleasantries aside… we have a lot of New news to go over. So much so that I don’t think we are going to be able to fit it all in this issue. I’ll be damned if we don’t try. Join Mendte, Mr. Maurer, and Features and they take on this avalanche of comic related current events. From Iron Man trying to get a leg up on Dark Ages, and it going terribly wrong, to all the craziness in Dark Knights: Death Metal. From the Walking Dead getting a fresh new coat, to the awesome news about losing Free Comic book Day. That’s just the tip of the iceberg dear Firesiders, so let’s get this started. Welcome to Fireside.
