HOPELESS SAVAGES: BREAK
Final Order Cutoff
So I’ve taken a sizable break from social media this fall, trying to get caught up on all the things I don’t do when I spend too much time staring at Twitter and Tumblr. I miss you people.
Not quite all the way back yet, but I did promise to let interested folks know when there were Hopeless Savages updates and this is the big one:
Book is in stores for sales in exchange for monies on NOVEMBER 25!! I
Comic shops order stock based–in part, at least–on hearing from customers, and their FOC for Diamond is this coming Monday. You can do yourself, your retailer–and me and Meredith and Christine–a favor by letting your shop know if you want a copy of this here swerval book.
Diamond order code is APR151630
If you don’t have a comics retailer convenient, there are some great online comics services that can ship the book right to your door, like TFAW and Midtown Comics.
A bookstore can preorder it for you, too. ISBN is 1620102528
You can also find the book at Powell’s Books Online or Amazon, but regular bookstores will be about a week or so behind the comic stores.
This is SO good, folks. My bias regarding the author aside, I genuinely think this is some of the finest writing of her career, and Meredith’s art is glorious and wonderful.
Pre-order this book. You will not regret it.
THIS IS IMPOOORRRRTANT!

We went to a Zombie Ball.

And documented it.
For the enjoyment of all.

I need you to open Google Maps. Locate your nearest mall. Get in your car. Drive to Yankee Candle.
Past the seasonal pumpkin display, near the back of the store, you will find a trash pile Man Candle section. You will see candles called MMM, Bacon!. Riding Mower. Man Town. (I’m not kidding. Man Town.) Stay strong. Not in this section, but likely very near this section, you will find a candle called Mountain Lodge.
Hold this jar in your hands like a talisman. Close your eyes and picture a man.
I want to be clear: I’m not talking about a Hugh Dancy. Or an Andrew Garfield, a Ben Whishaw, even a Tom Hiddleston. This exercise requires someone in the Chris Evans weight class. The Richard Armitage department. Someone with smile lines around his eyes who could chop the cedar for your bower with his own hands, strangle an alpha wolf, carry you home when you sprain your ankle in the woods, bench press your entire body. Picture this man in your mountain home with a full beard, a slightly grimy white henley, a fond half smile he reserves only for you. Now open the lid and smell Mountain Lodge.
Steady yourself on the man candle display. Give yourself a second. No, you’re not wrong. Yes, the Yankee Candle Company has just eliminated the need for men. This medium tumbler Mountain Lodge candle jar is now your boyfriend. The Yankee Candle Company has effectively replaced the need for contact with the male half of our species with a compact and clean-burning candle in a jar.
“Do you like this one?” the cashier asked, ringing me up. “Every man should be required by law to smell like what this candle smells like,” I replied intensely. “That’ll be $12.01,” she said.
MOUNTAIN LODGE
Me an’ my friends.
We got it.
I don’t love candles.
But I love this candle.
Sleeps right next to me.
On the side of my bed.
Where it belongs.
