Comics Christmas Shopping Update

Even with an extra week for shopping because of an as-early-as-possible Thanksgiving, it feels like enough traffic is moving through the postal system for people to maybe think cautiously in terms of what they can order and when it will arrive. Anyhow:

* add the Immonens to those entities having a sale for the holiday shopping season.

* I've received more suggestions for the CR Holiday Shopping Guide. It was never my intention to make a comprehensive list, or even to have a list of suggested buys, as much as I wanted to paint a portrait of comics in its full, deep, various option-providing potential shopping glory. It's pretty obvious that tons of comics and gifts are left out, and I don't feel compelled to add any. But I know people are proud of their works, so I wanted to mention them here for as long as it seems people are writing about their exclusion from the Guide and not simply angling for a mention in one of these updates.

Let me make something perfectly clear because four e-mails this morning and three times as many yesterday seem to indicate many of you are simply not getting it. I'm not listing these books in these updates as an endorsement. I'm listing these books in these updates because one of their creators wrote in dismayed they were left out of the Guide and/or hopeful they might be included. I'm not recommending them myself; I'm passing along the authors' pride in their work. I have no intention of updating the actual guide by request of the author, because that way lies madness, but I was happy to list a few books in these updates. Not anymore, though: sorry. I left many books out of the guide for many reasons, including human error, although I note in most cases the last two days these are books I didn't even receive in review copy form, so the fact they didn't come to mind among the first 200 gift offering/ideas seems sort of logical.
