But only for a day. Everything in Envy's life is temporary, and that's just how she likes it. Meet Envy this December as she clocks into the Calvin C. Nelson HMO ? the corporation where the inmates are literally running the asylum. "Cubes and Ladders" is the first issue in the new series, Temporary, by the Eisner-nominated writer of My Uncle Jeff and the Ignatz-nominated creator of Shuck. 56pgs, B&W $3.95 Cover price $3.95.

Now she's on her way to the crematorium, where her quick nap could turn into the big sleep. 40pgs, B&WSRP: $2.95 Cover price $2.95.
