II: Victory by Kurt Busiek (Part Two)
Ever wonder about projects that somehow didn't quite turn out as
planned? Series that were announced but never made it to the stands or
did, but then failed to live up to expectations or were canceled before
they could reach their planned ending? Why didn't they make it? Was
there material we didn't get to see? Was there an ending? Well, if
you've already read Kurt Busiek's general notes and character profiles
for Victory, this week we're featuring his story outline for Topps'
Comics crossover that never was.

The Masochists
"There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic to human
behavior..." So singeth Björk and so draweth Nick Bertozzi in The
Masochists. Bronwyn Jones reviews this unflinching comic account of
pain, joy, regret and redemption from the Ignatz award-winning
writer/artist.

Okay, I still can resist putting in a few words in these posts. We also
started a new poll asking which mainstream publisher is your favorite.
As always, there are columns by Rob Liefeld, Jim Krueger, Chynna
Clugston-Major, Eric Stephenson, Hannibal Tabu, guest columns from Chris
Eliopoulis and Erik Larsen, and last and probably least, a toy column by
me. Oh, and all the other usual goodies are there too. Go ahead and
have a look-see. Thanks.
