Hats off to Wayne and JB for making some great comic book fun.  I know about what is in store for future issues and I just can't believe how it keeps getting better!

To say that I am thrilled to be part of this is a major understatement.

I picked up Fx #s 1 and 2 recently at my local Newbury Comics (They had a few there)...I enjoyed them very much (I'm on the lookout for issue 3).  Great work, Wayne and JB!

Just got my FX #3 this weekend! (I go to my LCS once every two weeks) I am really into this book, its like riding a story rollercoaster! That Melvin character is a real trip!~(no pun intended) His room looks like mine, if you replace the boxes of electronics with comic books.

I finally got around to reading issues 1 - 3 of FX. I got a real "Astro City" feeling of Tom & co being part of a greater whole, with an intriguing backdrop to characters & places to explore.

Just one minor criticism, I thought that the coloring of the logo on issue 3's cover was pretty ugly & clashed badly with the orange/purple motif of the rest of the cover. I hope this didn't scare people away.

Finally I got to read it as well. A really good issue of a really good series. Thanks for the effort to all involved, epecially Wayne and John.
I hope JB will be the artist in the next limited series, though. It feels way to "Byrne" a title to leave it in other hands.
And WO, good choice of villain name there. ;-) I had been curious about your final choice for quite some time now.

I am having the hardest time trying to get FX. I work in DC for the next
two weeks before moving to Boston.

In Union Station a new comic shop opened. It sucks (very poor selection,
and very small) but I really wanted to get FX and I didn't have many other
options, so I placed an order. The next week, no FX, the week after still
no FX, so I placed the order yet again. Needless to say, working with the
same idiot for the past month and a half, and still no FX. Today I found
out that even though I had some lame folder set up and everything, when
FX came in they put it on the shelf and sold it. Thanks moron. I move in
two weeks so I don't have time to goof around with him any more. So alas
I will have to wait until I move and try again. At this rate I will get all six
issues at the same time.

Moral of the story? DON'T SHOP AT THE UNION STATION COMIC SHOP IN
DC. They have no idea what they are doing!!

It might be a DC metro area thing.  I'm having a devil of a time getting all the issues too.  My LCS idiots act like they couldn't order it, however they do get other books from IDW. Ridiculous.  I had to order the first three issues off the Internet.  I'm having a similar issue with Assignment Earth.  My on-line source showed two in stock, but when it was time to fill my order they were sold out. Aaargh!
