Sam and Max featured in PiQ #2
So, I went to a bookstore today and, much to my surprise, I happened to see this on the magazine rack. (note image is pretty big. Direct scan of the cover. 
) (if you don't know, PiQ is the magazine formerly known as Newtype USA, only cheaper, with less pages, and covers a more diverse array of entertainment related material.
I haven't actually read the article yet, but skimming through it it's 6 pages long and talks about season 2, the rerelease of Surfin' the Highway, and the Animated Series DVD boxset. It also has a sidebar interview with Steve Purcell that runs across the bottom of 4 pages. It's probably not really anything we haven't heard before, but I find it neat that they got such a kickass cover image of 205 out so quickly.

...Oh wait, that's not what I'm supposed to be looking at?
I just posted a blog about the issue, but I'll reiterate my question here... if we were to put this issue in our store, how many of you would buy it? I think it would be a neat way to make it available to people who might not be able to find it locally (especially our European fans), but I'd like to find out if there's a demand for it before we go to the trouble.
... and Dave Bogan, and Marco, who actually made most of it!
They're also porting Disgaea to the DS! Whoo!
I read the article while at work today. Like Emily said it's a pretty good one.
The Steve Purcell interview was awesome and he even mentions that SybilPandemik woman that posted here who brought the life-size max doll to WonderCon.
I also loved his comment on why he likes to draw pirates.
Not to draw the thread off-topic further, but I am 100% against porting Disgaea to DS. Methinks the screens are too small, the processor too weak, and the cartridges too small to contain the same level of content (full voices and music). I'd much rather see them port Disgaea 2 to PSP first.
And personally I'm looking forward to it because I kinda like my SRPG gaming more on the go than at home for the most part. And I don't own a PSP, nor will I ever buy one (for reasons I will not go into) so it's really a plus for me in every fashion.
