I picked up a couple of advanced reader copies of trades in a bargain bin a few months back. One was a copy of Linda Medley's Castle Waiting, one was a Vertigo crime OGN, and there was one more I can't recall off hand. They were $1-$3 each so I picked them up as curiosities (though I am a big fan of Castle Waiting and need to replace copies I lent out years ago and never got back. -M Did you notice any differences between the Advanced Readers and then the actual trades which were released subsequently? Sometimes I think there's no difference at all as far as contents go.
Back when I was a reviewer for Amazon Vine, I got a few advance readers copies of upcoming graphic novels. Each were close enough to finished that you could read the whole thing, but often entire sections were not yet colored, and introductions and other supplemental articles were often left out as well.

You might want to check out the lifeboats and make sure you can get to one, quickly.

Is there a word for the substitution of symbols like ^&$%#@ for swearing?

To prove I'm not bull@#$%ing, GrawlixIn his book, "Backstage at the Strips," Mort Walker also added quimps, jarns and nittles as terms for epithet replacements used by cartoonists in maledicta balloons.

The biggest danger so far is the buffet.

The biggest danger so far is the buffet. Do you mean weight gain or food-borne illness? 'Cause, actually, the latter is a pretty high probability.

No time to see a match.
