Self Storage #5 hits LCS and Comixology

The penultimate issue of the highly praised series Self Storage has hit stores. Here is the full synopsis: So... Tell me about love. Today is Chris and Laura's one year anniversary. I can't imagine this time last year Chris was thinking, "you know what, a year from now, I bet my relationship with Laura will have completely fallen apart, I'll be harboring a zombie girl named Jessica in a storage locker, occasionally murdering innocent folks to feed her, and I'll have no exit s

Why hello READERS! How does today find you? I hope exceedingly well. While I wish no harm on another being of (marginal) sentience, it appears Richard my robot, has come down with a virus, spyware perhaps (he’s been looking at generic appliances on the Silk Road), and has been sneezing up yucky data all day. This forces me to travel back to the neo-lithic era and commune with you by typing into a computer instead of dictating aloud to my binary companion. This change has me i

The bodies keep piling up as the mystery of Self Storage Unit 83 continues. Chris must decide what to do regarding the mounting evidence that he cannot contain the bounty he blindly purchased. The content of the unit, a zombie girl of unknown origin named Jessica, has made it quite clear how much she enjoys the taste of human flesh.

Reader, Reader, Reader, oh how I've missed you. The West Wing of the 451 Clan of the Eternal Flame has been moving around quite a bit lately. This week we finally settled into our semi-permanent location in Hollywood, as opposed to the temporary location we had in Beverly Hills. Cool story, bro... Right, right, I feel you, you don't need those personal deets. Plus, regardless of where 451 sets up shop, that location will be henceforth known as the "Fire Station," effective im

I just did three slicie boys no prob, I can still put down whole 'zas like a light snack. I'm considering dropping in on that pepperoni joint for number four, but I wanted to write this third weekly burn first.

Oh... Hey Weekly Burn Reader... I didn't see you there. Just kidding, we have access to your computer's webcam and have been waiting for you to read this all day. Before we get started, I just wanted to let you know that when you balled up that burrito wrapper and shot it across the entire office, over that extra chair that's in everyone's way, behind your bosses back, off his closet door, and perfectly swished it into an undersized modern trashcan with a defensive spinny lid
