Day Men: Pen & Ink #1\\n
Writer(s): Matt Gagnon, Michael Alan Nelson\\n
Artist(s): Brian Stelfreeze\\n
Publisher: BOOM! Studios\\n
WHY WE LOVE IT:It\\u2019s pretty simple. We think Brian Stelfreeze is one of the industry\\u2019s best artists and storytellers and deserves to be showcased in his purest form. As fans of Brian\\u2019s art, we wanted this for ourselves.

\\n\\n

WHY YOU\\u2019LL LOVE IT: Stelfreeze is known around the convention circuit as a great mentor to young creators with an understanding of the craft of making comic books that is second to none. A rare opportunity to learn the creative process of a comics industry luminary.

Major Spoilers Poll of the Week\\n
I\\u2019m a Gamer\\n
Ever since Dr. Will appeared on the Major Spoilers Podcast, there has been an increase in my traffic regarding games and gamers, and all the cool games that are out there. That got me thinking that \\u201cgaming\\u201d is a bit more broad than one might initially expect based on one\\u2019s current views.

Discussion:\\u2028
The Red Star (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Star)\\u2028
The Red Star is a comic book series by Christian Gossett set in a sci-fi/fantasy world described by Gossett as "Mythic [Soviet] Russia". The "Lands of The Red Star" were inspired by both Russian folklore and military history. The series is thus heavily reminiscent of a post-World War II Soviet Russia mixing technology and sorcery.
