offering “web exclusives,” selling some titles exclusively through the
website. Looking at the site makes me feel like I did when I first saw
MySpace – so many options, I don’t know what to click first. But like
MySpace, once you get the hang of it, I reckon it could turn into quite the
online hangout . . . – from Matthew Jent’s Weekly Comics email update
