ULTIMATE X-MEN TPB VOLUME 1

Looks like they're starting to make movies to me!

On a related note, a few days later because there had been little response, Paul Levitz reminded staff that this was not a holiday per se, and if they didn't go they'd still have to come into the office - even though there wouldn't be any work to do.

------------ Nick Locking, previous Waiting For Tommy interviewee and upcoming Robocop comics writer for Avatar, has clearly yet to be paid. So he's starting a campaign to buy him a big Japanese robot toy.

He is clearly mad, but it just might work. He's already half way after one day.
