My favorite story of the week was: “Jack Jaw and the Arab’s Ape” by Ryan Oakley

From the review: “I’ve always said: all any good story needs is a monkey ripping a man’s arms clean off – blood spurting – swinging those bastard limbs over its head.

Scott Snyder just responded to a review from way back in February. He's maybe the 2nd or 3rd person to respond to something I've written about one of their stories. It's just kind of cool.
