There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net and for a split second it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward and you win…or maybe it doesn’t, and you lose.”

But when he befriends Tom Hewett and marries his sister, Chloe, the doors are opened to the kind of money and success that Chris had once only dreamed of. Chris should have settled for happiness, but he is torn by his attraction to Tom’s impossibly beautiful and sensual fiancé, Nola. The attraction turns to an obsession that forces Chris to make a critical choice. Now everything in his life hinges on if Chris falls short again…and whether or not his luck runs out.

Comics Legend Edward Nelson Bridwell is featured in this week's Suspended Animation Column - "His first notable success was as a writer for Mad during its early, formative years, and Bridwell became an assistant editor at National/DC Comics in 1965 due to his work with the humor magazine. He served as an editor of Lois Lane comics and became editor of the hardback DC reprint titles in 1971." Guardians - "For a company known for churning out super hero material by the truckload, (not that there's anything wrong with that) Guardians is a well written, wonderfully drawn breath of fresh air with nary a super dude in sight."

Sequential Animation Reviews, News and Interviews
No comic escapes the discerning gaze of Michael Vance and Mark Allen
Great American Comic Books - "This is far more, however, than reference material. It is to be read and enjoyed, that one may, hopefully, better appreciate the progression of comics themselves." Graphic Classics: Arthur Conan Doyle - "Artists Rick Geary, John W. Pierard and Nick Miller are standouts among a crowd of accomplished peers in this collection." Mr. T #1 - "Mr. T. is 5% short of exceptional in both its words and art." All Star Batman and Robin - "Writer Frank Miller created arguably one of the best Batman stories of all time with his Dark Knight miniseries in the '80's. His current Batman, however, simply isn't up to snuff."
