Couldn't Hang Up 04/30/2004 02:47 PM

The FBI says they're not all that concerned about who he was talking to, but once they catch him, they'll want to find out. You have to assume whoever was on the other end knew what was going on, but if that wasn't the case, then I guess the guy was just multi-tasking.

Biggs Darklighter's Final Fate!

Biggs Darklighter's Final Fate! 12/24/2003 04:50 PM
It has been a busy month for Dark Horse, with many comics shipping in December, as they get back on track with their publishing schedule. It all ends in the best way possible, with this week's Star Wars: Empire #15 featuring the long-awaited finale to the "Darklighter" storyline by Paul Chadwick, Doug Wheatley and Chris Chuckry, with a cover by Kilian Plunkett and Brad Anderson. In the day of the attack on the Death Star, Biggs tries to save the life of a new friend (Hobbie), is reunited with an old friend (Luke), and sadly joins a fallen friend (Porkins) before the issue is over. It's a touching story beautifully illustrated and a worthy addition to any collection.

First of all, thanks to everyone who sent in submissions over the last couple of weeks for the position. You all definitely proved me wrong with some quality submissions—we should have been looking through the readership for help in the first place. It's very likely I'll be contacting some of you in the near future for some special projects.

Meanwhile, welcome John Biggs, our new Senior Editor. I don't know what that makes me, but since I can't even wrap my head around the grammar of 'Editor-In-Chief,' I think I'll just stick with 'Editor' for now. Since I've stepped all over John's introduction, I'll let him say hello after the jump.

Boston-area bank suggestion? (Bank of
America is not dog-friendly) 06/22/2005 02:23 AM

My bank has been purchased, for about the fifth time.  Currently it is called "Bank of America."  None of the previous changes of ownership or name bothered me but this time the new color scheme came with "no dogs allowed" signs in the front of every branch office.  I'm not sure that I can stomach 0.2% interest if I can't have a dog at my side to provide some comfort as inflation and corporate looters erode my turbine-powered helicopter fund.  Anyone have a suggestion for a dog-friendly bank in the Boston area?
