Divine Misfortune

Dear A. Lee Martinez,

Lets be friends forever.

"Don't worry. I don't plan on any smiting, though itis well within my rights. But I'm not that kind of god. Never was a casual smiter. Sure, I've smote a few mortals in my day. I'm not proud of it, but it was back in the old days. Everyone was doing it, and I just wanted to be cool. But I'm past that sort of heavy-handed disciplinary action. It's good for a laugh occasionally, but I don't want to be your god because you're afraid of me. I want us to be buddies, compadres. Heck, we're practically family.

"But I'm not going to force myself on you. I don't need to. You'll see the benefits of having me around soon enough. You don't want to put me up for the night, that's cool. Though I did notice you have a very nice guest room. But I'll leave. No smiting. No wrath. Providing you make me a sandwich at least."

Teri made a bologna-and-ham offering for their new god.

G0dland keeps moving ever closer to its finale. With alien death angels and heroic super-villain armies and the plans of R@d-Ur Rezz, an inspiring speech from Nicklehead and a butterfly chomping on a cigar...

Jack Frost is betrayed by the king in Jack of Fables. Again. But still manages to reach the sky palace of the Empyrean Giant. Where everything he thinks he knows may be proven false...

And lastly Astro City: The Dark Age introduces the Pale Rider and gives a couple brief glimpses of the Iron Colonel and a giant lunar mummy. But mostly the Pale Rider who gets a seriously spooky bad-ass cover pic by Alex Ross...
