Nice ...

A Nice screenshot of a recent day's traffic on fred's old blog here.

That's pretty high for a day's traffic around these parts.  There's been a little increase lately, more interest growing from the magazine relaunching I suppose.  And it's nice that it's not just the Singapore and Hong Kong bots, they've been around but less assertive, it's mostly north America and some Europe.  Presumably some of them were real persons.
 
And there is news and progress.  I got order confirmation and even a survey (I actually completed it).  The new magazine #1 (or "Legacy #321", sheesh, as if the issue numbering isn't messed up enough already.) is to be shipped in April and is to be available at comic shops too.  
 
Lostboy has a couple news links on the excellent heavymetalmagazinefanpage.com site.  The Discord is still pretty active, more chatter and more people sharing their art.  Supposedly Heavy Metal is showing up as available from comic distributors to shops.
 
So far so good.  I'm hoping they get the new first issue shipped and more coming.  I never thought it would happen, and I'll be happy to be wrong here, when it does.
