VENOM #13

moral: go to store signings and make good impressions!

CALIGULA #6

I imagine this is how Avatar Press is run. William Christianson studied Caligula's leadership style and channeled it into a publishing empire. Now that his well documented excesses are over, he's gonna get Crossed out bi-weekly!
