Squeak out with your geek out.

I <3 Y: The Last Man. Its final issue holds the runner-up position for comic-book-induced crying jags (Teen Titans v. 3 #20 holds the gold there...) and I love pretty much everything Brian K Vaughan's done. Y also made me fall in love with Pia Guerra, whose style of art was simple but expressive as all hell. Yorick was never quite Yorick unless he was illustrated by Guerra.

Unfortunately she disappeared into the ether after that final issue. I saw her at Comic Con 2008, where she rocked at what was essentially a Women of Geek panel. Lucy Lawless dominated, buuuut I was mostly there for Pia Guerra. And it's Lucy Lawless, so I forgive her.

HOWEVER! Ms Guerra has resurfaced. Illustrating a Ianto comic penned by Gareth David Lloyd.

I might have screamed when I discovered this.

First page is here.

She draws Ianto's face awesome. Doesn't she draw Ianto's face awesome? The layout is very Y. This is not bad. My pull list is still mourning its loss.

This is a A PERFECT MELDING OF MY NERDDOMS.

So, yes anyways. Totes buying the next issue of Torchwood magazine. Not out for a month. First time I'll have bought any kind of fanmag... they're kind of lame as a general rule. I made fun of my friend who bought a Supernatural fanmag mercilessly. Which means I'll have to hide this one carefully. :)

I also love Pia Guerra because 355 is the biggest badass ever. I want to be her when I grow up.

ETA: Pia Guerra has been the artist on the recent Doctor Who comics! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS!?!?!@?! must*twitch*purchase...

Awww... I feel your pain. I used to be able to walk to my comic book store. (Which was convenient, cuz I worked there...)

Chain stores may be able to order it. I don't know. The local Barnes and Noble doesn't carry Torchwood, but it does carry Supernatural and Buffy, so they may be able to order it, since I'm pretty sure it's the same company that does those mags does TW...

Maybe I will try the Coles in our mall next month. They're affiliated with Chapters so they may be able to swing it.

A bunch of my old students work there, which will be a little awkward, but eh, they've seen me buying romance novels so I guess sci-fi magazines aren't much worse eh?

Well, if you get desperate, let me know and I'll send you a copy. :D

I may take you up on that if Coles can't get it in! (Stupid Canada with its stupid small towns! Boo! Hiss!)
