It’s Only XXXX Days…

It’s that time of year again – the time when we are all playing the waiting game. The holidays are behind us and summer vacation is a long way off, and as such, we watch the calendar and count down the days until what we are waiting for is here.

Holy cats, February has been flying, right? Flying so fast that, I looked at my calendar and saw that Revealed’s mass market release is a mere week away! Revealed was originally released a year ago, in trade format.
