Released October 10, 2006

This is our coming of age issue. This time we actually know what we are doing.

Well, kind of. Here is what Jon Sobel from Blog Critics had to say about Issue Two:

“you may fairly infer that while Higgin and co-editor Christopher Vieau are themselves but fledgling writers, their energy and taste are having good results. The contents justify The Means.”

While still tiny in trim size Issue Two is not a push over. It weighs in at 168 pages of some of the most diverse and exciting writing we could find. To help you along we decided to split the book into three distinct thematic sections that chart our strategic plan of success—DOMINANCE, DAMAGE CONTROL, and RECONSTRUCTION. To go along with these sections we have a few witty poems by Tim Scannell.

Brett Herholz provided the cover art of some 19th century socialites.
