""Flinch" was an ongoing, and it only lasted about 14 issues. The rest were minis and my game plan was simple: In four issues, you could tell 12 to 16 stories that explore a theme from a variety of angles, wrap it up and move onto the next theme. So you didn't fight attrition, you just moved on.

"This strategy has served as lot of the X-Men anthologies well. Tell a few theme-related stories over 3 to 4 issues and get out. The healthy orders for "Point One" lead me to believe we can do more of these things, and we can come up with new approaches to them. Kudos to Tom [Brevoort] for putting one more hefty project on his plate."

PropagandaWatch: Didn't you know? The internet is evil. Even more than comics, it seems.

"A boy switches on his computer late at night, while his parents think he is asleep, and clicks on an e-mail that allows a virus to delete all his family's photos and documents.

"Another boy starts a conversation on Facebook with a friend his own age who later turns out to be an adult with bad intentions.

"These stories are told in a string of comic books designed to teach children and teens the dangers of the internet, explained the Commissioner for Children, Helen D'Amato, as she handed out copies to students at St Margaret College's primary school in Cospicua."

ArmyWatch: Mark Sable demonstrates how to donate comics to serving troops, at Comics Alliance.

Bill Mantlo — Tragic Tale | LifeHealthPro

"The victim of a closed-head brain injury from nearly 20 years before, Bill cannot move from his wheelchair to his bed without help, nor can he feed himself, go to the bathroom or conduct any other kind of normal physical activity unaided. He can move his arms, but the fine motor control in his hands is very poor. He needs someone else to put his glasses on for him, and when he wants to take them off, he can only drag his hands across his face and let the glasses clatter to the floor."
