The first issue of Cheshire Crossing, Andy Weir’s new comic, has been published. It is funny, intriguing and something completely different from Casey and Andy. It reminds me more than a little of Alan Moore’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and given the characters, that’s not so odd really.
The only sad thing is the update schedule, a full issue is posted every 3-6 months. I’m spoiled and decadent and demand instant gratification, so there’ll be gnashing of teeth. Waiting that long to find out who the man in the trench coat is? Impossible!
On the other hand, perhaps I’ll forget the whole thing between updates (I’m not putting this in bookmarks, it would be quite pointless), and be pleasantly surprised every time it is updated.
This goes right to my Highly Recommended list on my comics page.

Very “League” indeed. And I’m loving it. Poppins rocks! In practically every way!

Also, what man in a trench coat are you babbling about?!

Ach, maybe it isn\’t a trench coat. See how non-fluent I am?
I mean the guy in the black hat who informs the doctor that the girls are arriving.

Ahh… yes, I do believe that is a trench coat. However, I hadn’t noticed the guy, I think I somehow assumed he was Poppins in out-doors-clothes, just drawn slightly weird, but re-reading it, he obviously isn’t.
Thanks, now my curiosity is pickled, too.
