Even though I had Serena and I had the day off of work due to the Snowpocalypse, we dared not travel the snow covered streets to Keith’s Komix of New Comic Book Day. I called Keith and asked him how the roads were and he said to hold off on coming in because the roads were pretty bad. So we took his advice and stayed in last night, catching up on our shows and comic books from last week.

Tonight, the roads were a lot better though the snowplows pretty reduced the main road to Keith’s Komix to a single lane. Heroclix was in full swing but sadly, no one else showed up to play Monsterpocalypse. Keith wasn’t feeling up to playing tonight having caught a cold from his wife so Serena and I just got something to eat from Mario’s next door, chatted for a bit with Keith and some of the Clix players. After flipping through the latest PREVIEWS, we paid for our comic books and left for the evening.

story BRETT LEWIS, art & cover SAMI BASRI, HENDRY PRASETYO & IMAGINARY FRIENDS STUDIOS

A brilliant young toy maker risks his entire company for his factory’s newly produced android named Tiffany, but when he falls in love with his own creation and she has already been sold to the most powerful man on Earth, getting her back becomes his greatest passion and threatens to lead to his own destruction. Inspired by the ideas and lyrics of Fall Out Boy, Fall Out Toy Works brings the magic of innocence to life as both a toy maker and his invention set about learning the true secrets of life.

Created by Fall Out Boy, Darren Romanelli (Dr Romanelli DRx) and Nathan Cabrera, this collection also includes interviews with Pete Wentz and Darren Romanelli, plus a sketchbook section revealing the origins of the designs for the project.
