Kabuki: The Alchemy Issue Inventory Running Low
From David Mack:
	Alchemy #9 (& other Alchemy issues) nearly sold out - last call for reorders. Just got the latest inventory from Marvel. Some issues of Alchemy have less than 30 copies left and will be out soon. If you are still looking for these, I hope you get 'em soon and hope you dig 'em. If you reorder and the regular issue is sold out, try the variant issue. (A bit more of the variants are left so they should last a bit longer in case you miss the regular cover.)

From ComicBookBlogs.net:
	We tracked down some of our favorite creators in the midst of their holiday hijinx and asked them their favorite memories from 2007. BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS (writer of NEW AVENGERS, MIGHTY AVENGERS): My favorite moments are different than others. I get this entirely different experience from making the comics. I get to see them before they see print. I get to see the art in all its different phases. And that is so exciting. I can’t even explain to you how exciting that is every time. So when you ask me this question I think to waking up, going to my computer and opening files by [Stuart] Immonen, [Leinil Francis] Yu, [Frank] Cho, [Mark] Bagley, [David] Mack, [Michael] Gaydos, [Alex] Maleev, [Mike] Oeming, [Jimmy] Cheung.
Also, the second part of Wordballoon's interview with Brian Michael Bendis is online.
