2. That’s going to be either awe­some or awful. Any hints you can give which might help me decide which?

3. I don’t know, Phil. I’m hop­ing some­one who reads it will post a review.

4. Hel­lo! Thanks so much for mentioning/posting the link!

   I’m biased, since I write and pub­lish Hand­knit Heroes. How­ev­er, reviews so far have been very pos­i­tive– both for the con­cept and for the execution.

   I link to reviews, shout-outs, and men­tions on the updates page of the ComicK­nits web­site: http://www.comicknits.com/update/ if you want to go take a look– I link all men­tions as I find them, not just the pos­i­tive ones. Also, I post­ed a videoblog yes­ter­day giv­ing an overview of the com­ic book and what’s so cool about it (that’s linked from the update/ page as well).

   It has a good sto­ry­line (my com­plete­ly, total­ly biased opin­ion), great art­work, and a real­ly beau­ti­ful, easy-to-knit pat­tern by Erssie Major. We pub­lish 4 times a year.

5. Truth be told, I’m not very famil­iar with the com­ic book genre, so I’m hav­ing a hard time con­nect­ing with the plot or com­ing up with talk­ing points about the issue. How­ev­er, I will say that I am thrilled with the con­cept and the exe­cu­tion, since I think it’s a real­ly cool way of com­bin­ing knit­ting with oth­er hob­bies. It’s just anoth­er of the ways that knit­ting is inte­grat­ing itself with the rest of people’s cul­tur­al inter­ests. Who says needle­work is for grannies? Who says your knit­ting and lit­er­ary inter­ests have to be sep­a­rate? The pos­si­bil­i­ties are endless!
