I just finished up the line editing for the second issue of Dead Reckonings this afternoon. The issue clocks in at 117 pages, and once again I think it's a pretty stellar line-up offering a variety of voices on a very broad range of works. We even have a film review, though don't expect that to become a regular feature.
