Forget whatever it is you’ve resolved to do all year, and which resolution you will break in about a month. Try this instead: make a resolution for 40 days. That’s it. 40 days. You can last that long. Then when you’re finished, make a new one. That’s nine chances to improve a year, with five [...]

…is now up on the Meltblog.

Meltdown Comics now has an exclusive 7-page preview on their blog.
The reviews have started coming in. There’s one from Comic Book Jesus:
