FOURTHMAN: YOU DECIDE ADVANCE REVIEW FOR 4/7/2010
Our newest staff writer lets you pick your poison!
Hey everyone…
I hope to do this weekly from now on.
I will also maybe try to get it up on Friday.
Poll will close at midnight est Sunday Night/Monday Morning.
Here’s the deal… my various contacts and other stuff means that I have access to some books before they hit the stands, so every week I will offer up a set of comics that have not already been claimed by the rest of the staff or being used in the various club threads.
Anyhow, I will read the book and put up a review for your choice on Monday night. That way there is at least one book you can know a little more about before you get to the store.
This week’s books are as follows…

Codes. Encryption. Passwords. Meet the best of the best at puzzling out the truth and protecting all of us from those that would steal information in ways that can shatter the global community and kill.
