It looks like we’ve got a lot more readers hitting the site today than usual, so welcome to the Chemistry Set!

Once you’re done seeing what all the hubbub was about with Jim Dougan’s story, “How I Lost My Shit at the Apple Store”, I’d like to encourage you to peruse the site and see what else we’ve got to offer! Complete stories are in the right-hand nav, under “Catch-Up Pages.”

Some of the regular features on the site are:

• Andrew Drilon’s genre-defying Kare-Kare Komiks;
• Dwight MacPherson’s two supernatural tales, The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo and Kid Houdini;
• Andrew Foley’s corporate satire The Holiday Men;
• my series Styx Taxi, about NYC’s only taxi service for the dead;
• Elizabeth Genco’s dark fantasy tales, like Yes, Mother and Scheherazade;
• Vito Delsante’s nostalgic high-school strip FCHS;
• Tony Lee’s noir/superhero strip The Gloom;
• and Jim Dougan’s non-IT-oriented work, like Come the Dawn and Rest Stop.

We have to thank Johanna Draper Carlson of Comics Worth Reading for the great shout out.  She said:

“Vito Delsante brought buttons featuring head shots of various cast members from FCHS along with this minicomic preview. Rachel Freire’s DeCarlo-inspired art is wonderfully suited to this high school webcomic strip.”

‘Nuff said for this week!  Hope Johanna doesn’t mind Reilly’s potty mouth!

Thanks for stopping by! And speaking of stopping by, if you’re in the Charlotte, NC area, you can meet both myself and Edgar Allan Poo’s Dwight McPherson at Heroes Con TODAY! And tomorrow!

And so it comes to an end, the extra sized, issue #3 finale of The Gloom, before our short break before all hell breaks loose in the never seen before #4 and #5! Mousey’s been kidnapped, and Carson doesn’t have the power to rescue her any more - but does he have friends that can help? And finally we see what Doc Adventure has been doing in the background…

Make the most of this and we’ll see you in a month or so at the mid/end of July with the start of ‘Season 4′ of The Gloom! And, if you find yourself Jonesin’ for a slice of weekly Tony goodness, remember that I still keep up the weekly column at www.comicsbulletin.com/hoaw every Monday…

And now - the ‘Season finale’ of The Gloom…

OK, we’re late again and it’s all my fault (again)! But anyway.

First time reading? Catch up with Page One, Two, Three, Four, Five,
Six, and Seven.

And now: the stunning conclusion!

Buh-dee buh-dee - that’s all, folks! If you’re starving for more Molly after our departure, check out her blog and buy her book! See you soon!
