It's been tough RL week over here, so I'm happy to have this back from CGC to go in my collection of video game tie-in and pack-in books that no one else probably cares about. EverQuest: Accounting is a little mini-comic that was a pack-in with the 2002 EverQuest Gold Edition collector's tin. The gaming community at the time (and still, to be honest) considered the important pack-ins to be the cloth maps and maybe the ugly pewter figurine. Pretty much no one cared about this tiny, flimsy mini-comic with mediocre writing and art. So while you'll see plenty of opened tins resold online, most of them are missing this comic. Also, packaging inside the tin was worse than a random eBay shipper, so it's tough to find one of these that has intact corners, to say the least. Still, this one isn't all that rare; assuming even a 10% survival rate still means there's a few thousand of these floating around, although very few of them ever seem to make it to the comic book secondary market.

This was written by Devin Grayson around the same time she was doing a lot of Nightwing stuff, and has art by Lan Medina well before his work on Fables. It's not the best work for either of them, but it's interesting to see relatively familiar names attached to such a throw-away pack-in title.
