Speaking of Mat, he gives us a review of 2003 in the Opinions Section. We get a mini-interview with Warren Ellis in Coville's Clubhouse. Rick Higginson shares the wisdom of gaming with a significant other in Confessions of a Newbie, and Jason Bourgeois dances on the grave of Morrison's X-Men in Great X-pectations. Paul Roberts, in Reader's Bookshelf, asks the perpetual question, "When Hollywood makes a movie out of a good book, why can't they ever get it right?"

Plus, lots, lots more. We would have had a longer interview this month, but the interview tape is locked up in a dorm room, and we cannot get at it. Expect for us to make up for it next month.

Happy New Year, and may this year be as happy and prosperous as you hope for!
