In cooperation with George of the George and Tony Entertainment Show, I am republishing my review of Gregg Schigiel's PIX: One Weirdest Weekend along with George's discussion with Mr. Schigiel about how Image Comics is now publishing the first volume and soon the second, PIX: Too Super for School! Be sure to order PIX volume 1 from Image Comics (DEC160764) before the January 30 final order cut-off, and preorder volume 2 from the March Previews catalog. I highly recommend this great comic!
