This issue is shaping up to be one of our best ever. Ben Brown returns with an excerpt from his novel, TV! TV! Aurelia Flaming returns with a new poem, as does Emily Leachman. William R. Coughlan returns with a critique of Citizen Kane. A couple of my online friends whom I've wanted to include here for years are working on things which I'm really looking forward to sharing with you. And the portfolios -- oh, the portfolios! We've got work from Matthew Curry, Jason Tlush and Mark Jones, three great artists, and one more coming down the pike which should be fantastic.

In short, I'm stoked. How are you?
