Blech.

According to the synopsis for AHM #11 the action will kick off in that issue... does this mean we have another 3 issues of crap to put up with before anything actually happens?

The City of Fears cover rocks (but Piranacon is my favourite gestalt anyway)! Too bad IDW only makes new covers to the UK comics, and not renews the whole comic...

That's why I'm no longer importing their crap.
I said I'll stop with Max Dinos and the way it looks their not even sending those over to my comic store while I have to put up with AHM till #8 .

Yeah, I am totally done with IDW. What the hell were they thinking with this whole AHM mess? To be honest I blame the editors more than McCarthy (although his writing does suck) as it was their job to make sure the bloddy thing went with what came before and they clearly didn;t as evidenced by the need for a AHM coda. Incompetence that would make Dreamwave blush.
