(I apologize for any confusion about this post–I’d just started writing it and for some reason the program sent it all by itself. This is an edited and corrected version.)

Editor Andy Schmidt has informed me that “Madrox” is going to be under the “Marvel Knights” banner. Makes perfect sense to me: Although “Madrox” is not remotely as adult-oriented as “Fallen Angel,” the noir style of it positions it more for the older audience. And when you’re talking skewing older with a Marvel character, that’s “Marvel Knights.”

An article in a recent “Publishers Weekly” discusses the ongoing problem of theft that book sellers have to deal with. What’s fascinating is not that shoplifting is going on, but the nature of what’s being stolen.

Bibles.

Bibles and books about faith.

‘Tis truly a wonderment, the irony-free sensibilities of people who steal a book that’s fairly renowned for the instruction from on high about “Thou Shalt Not Steal.”
