We all gather to welcome Jemmy to the fold! He will be our point man on new fantasy and science fiction releases, though I'm sure he'll cover some classics while he's at it. He may, even, educate us on topics like manga, of which we know little, yet he knows much. Either way, we are very excited to have him on board!
