Dynamite says: “The first issue of our most unnecessary adventure finds Ashley J. Williams transported to the world of Xena and Gabrielle and most importantly Autolycus, who of course, bears more than a passing resemblance to our main man Ash.”  Could be fun.

DUMMYS GUIDE TO DANGER LOST AT SEA #1 (OF 4) (MR) (C: 0-1-2)

The sequel to the previous “Dummy’s Guide to Danger,” by Jason M. Burns.   Here’s the synopsis Jason told me about the previous series:

“It’s the story of a private investigator (Alan) and his partner, a paraplegic ventriloquist’s dummy named (Mr. Bloomberg) whom Alan believes was crippled when a bullet lodged in his spine,” Burns said.“Basically Alan is a little crazy and the dummy is everything he can’t be, which is the smart a– of the team. … It’s a dark, noir series with a major twist.”
