He's been feasting on this Dresden Files shit over here; heaps of Dresden Files books are arrayed about him at the five points of the pentacle, where he sits within a circle of what I'm pretty sure is Lik-M-Aid.
It's to the point where when he nears the end of a Harry Dresden Book, he's ordering the next three so that he can maintain forward momentum without running aground. It's doing some noir thing that has a kind of preternatural grip on him; I feel like exposure to these materials have made him increasingly hard-bitten. My fear is that he might be out much later than normal, trying to frame himself perfectly in the nimbus of a streetlight. I'll tell you what's going to happen when he's done with these, straight up: he's going to end up in the arms of Stephen Brust, with his take on fantasy noir that Gabe was too good for last time. You know what's funny? I named that Stephen Brust comic the same thing I named today's. COINCIDENCE? Yes, actually.
BUT, IS IT ACTUALLY? Also yes.

There are a few company foursomes out there, and if you'd like to set up something like that for your crew or coordinate a company payment, you can work out logistics stuff by mailing Erick Blandin at eblandin@childsplaycharity.org.
