"Eros Inc." returns with more corporate Cupiding

Eros Inc. has really grown on me. I've long felt that the comic, which follows a company that employs Cupids in their matchmaking endeavors, was a sort of lighthearted answer to Dead Like Me. But at the end of the last "season" (creator Michael Jonathan works in TV, after all), the company Eros Inc. went public -- that is, revealed itself to the world. Now Mot Fleishman and her fellow Cupids have proper jobs in proper office buildings -- and I'm excited to see the change (and, hopefully, an expanded cast).

Incidentally, if you ever run into Michael Jonathan at a convention, be sure to pick up a copy of Quail: The Song of the Blackbird EP, a brief comic about an antlered bard who has musical battles in the woods. Honestly, it's not a pitch that grabbed me, but the comic proved a bit of a stunner.
