Holy crap, you guys. Justin here, and if you only buy one issue of ToyFare this year…then it has to be this one, because it’s the last issue of the year. BUT, it also happens to be a SUPER-FANTASTIC issue totally loaded to the gills with awesomeness.
ToyFare #138 hits comic shops Wednesday, December 10, and here’s what you’ll find inside…
* It’s our special 2009 Preview issue, meaning the entire thing is full of next year’s hottest toys, movies, comics, video games and other entertainments. Check out a world premiere of new DC Universe Classics figures, Clayburn Moore’s epic new Conan statue and more!

* We talk to Futurama co-creator David X. Cohen about 2009’s epic new Futurama DVD “Into the Wild Yonder. Could this be the end of Futurama…again? Also, check out your first look at the DVD’s infamous “shot of everyone.”
* Twisted ToyFare! After a long two-year absence, it’s the return of the Troopers to the pages of our magazine! But, uh…whose bright idea was it to put them to work at a retirement home for elderly Clone Troopers?

And, of course, much more.
And now, in case you were wondering, “What would that cover look like if it were drawn really terribly by Justin?”…
