"Dial H" #7 is another issue in a slightly odd, slightly offbeat, but completely fun and refreshing series. This is a book that deserves huge sales and a much larger readership. If you haven't read "Dial H" up until now, "Dial H" #7 actually serves very well as a jumping-on point. Try this issue of "Dial H" out, you not only won't regret it, you'll get hooked."

I absolutely agree. Just did a reread of issues 1-7, and found it all hangs tightly together, and was even more enjoyable this time around! In many ways--strong characterization of non-standard characters (a fat guy and an elderly woman); wicked sense of humor from both the characters and the writer (as revealed in the bizarre 'heroes' dialed up); a strong sly streak of that bizarre sensibility--it reminds me not only of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol, but also of Milestone's comic, Xombie, both of which I found refreshingly different, and off-the-wall entrancing.
