'Magic Bullet' on the streets
"David Ross and I took Magic Bullet 14 to the Inauguration protests this weekend. At the Capitol, a guy from CSPAN ran up to us because he recognized the newspaper from picking it up at the comic stores. Later, near the security check in Chinatown, someone else flagged us down because his mother, an art teacher, would read it. Further west, around Franklin Square, we had a pleasant conversation with an anarchist, while the police set off concussion bombs and tear gas, beside us. We gave our last issues to a guy in McPherson Square, who told us that when he was in high school, his bedroom walls were decorated with show posters, and Magic Bullet pages."
