Chris and Pedro snark about the long-awaited end of Planetary. It’s taken a very long time for Messrs. Ellis and Cassady to publish 28 issues, 27 of which are quite good (haven’t read the final issue yet).
To clarify, Pedro helped with coding for the second part of this series (up tomorrow). This first part was a solo effort, and I did not intend for it to be snark.
Killer examples of microcopy: address your audience directly (hoarders) and give them the minimum amount of information they need to proceed (nobody loves them).
Who does love a hoarder? They have so much rad stuff!
"Bullet-makers are working around the clock, seven days a week, and still can’t keep up with the nation’s demand for ammunition. Shooting ranges, gun dealers and bullet manufacturers say they have never seen such shortages. Bullets, especially for handguns, have been scarce for months because gun enthusiasts are stocking up on ammo, in part because they fear President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress will pass antigun legislation — even though nothing specific has been proposed and the president last month signed a law allowing people to carry loaded guns in national parks."

Gorgeous. The cover to the 25th Anniversary Edition of White Noise, as illustrated by freelance illustrator and cartoonist Michael Cho. He discusses the process of creating the cover (complete with images) on his blog. Click through for a larger version, and click here for the completed version. I think I may have to pick this one up.
Spoiler alert: that is not where I expected the cover copy to go!
