Our 2005 Year in Review issue is coming up December 12th. It's a two week schedule so we'll give you half on the 12th and some more on the 19th. And just because you've all been nice this year we'll give John Allison's great cover art for the issue today :)

We're also in the process of running our new site engine for Comixpedia through a BETA test which will last through December and hopefully before the January issue we'll do the full switchover to it. You can help by looking around and reporting to me (xerexes AT comixpedia.com) stuff that doesn't work and stuff that's just hard to figure out. As part of this test we'll be running the December issue articles on both Comixpedia.com and the BETA site.

More details, including the URL for the beta site after the jump.

Get your Danielle Corsetto news here! Corsetto's latest GWS is about videogames which I thought might be some kind of comment on the CAD Animated Series, but from Corsetto's note probably isn't.

Plus, there's an interview in the Pulse with her about upcoming graphic novel CRAZY PAPERS.

Keep on schlockin' in the free world! Today's the 2000th Schlock Mercenary strip. That's five years, five months, and 20 days. Later today (and tomorrow), creator Howard Tayler will be at a local comic-book store, Dragon's Keep, so stop by and congratulate him.

Tayler was interviewed by The Pulse.
