Avatar Press
I was never impressed with Avatar Press. I don't like their output (as a rule). I resent them for Threshold. They made me buy six issues of stealth porn*. But after a conversation with William Christiansen - who is such a sound guy - EIC, I've had to rethink my attitude. I still don't like a lot of what they are publishing. I mean, the Warren Ellis stuff is beyond dull. But then, more and more of what Ellis is writing seems to be going to the same way. But I love their Alan Moore stuff. So, here's my main list of why I should support Avatar.

Yes! They are publishing stuff that would not see press elsewhere.
Yes! They really do give a new creative outlet that publishes.
Yes! They publish ON TIME!
Yes! They keep their books affordable - especially their graphics.

And I will buy the SG-1 book for Dave. I just know it.

And my comics this week included ONE comic that I hadn't already read. So I picked up a graphic. ONE! Next week had better be a great week for indies.

Oh yes.

*Stealth Porn [n.] six pages of actual story, and then twelve pages or porn. Pure porn. See also: Image, Top Cow, Chaos.
