Billy Awesome Comments: Give me a giant, noseless alien with male pattern baldness and a 2nd-degree sunburn, looming behind the planet Earth while he scratches his forehead bewilderingly with one tentacle, and digs for earwax with another. Put him in a cutoff denim vest, and try to give him an air of whimsy. Now, get out of my office.

It’s the awesome month of May! Which can only mean even more honourable mentions!
Found these beauties in a charity shop the other day. Would you read them on a bus? Or try to complete a shiny unicorn puzzle on a bus? I know I would… just for the attention!
Have a great long weekend if you get it! Otherwise, just have a great weekend!

Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Comments: With this cover, it’s the little things. Such as ‘Her right hand has a weak grip on the handle.’ And ‘The bat on the pommel would make it hard to sheathe the blade.’ And ‘Goodness, is that MY face?’

Scott B Comments: You know, I never thought that when the machines finally rose and conquered humanity they would be led by a cyborg cordless electric razor.
