"Skeletaxonomy" (Planet Scumm Issue #12), is a loving exploration of life, love, and other matters of the heart. And matters of the liver. Also: matters of the eyes, skin, bones, cerebrospinal fluid… and so on.

Take this book by the spine, and shudder at the combined horrors of bio-med social media influencers and unlicensed virtual reality sims. Shed a tear for families torn apart by consciousness cloning, and pine for the bittersweet love shared between a robot and their creator. Then, take a trip down the small intestine of ACTION, as an exosuit-wearing con mounts a desperate rescue on a remote planet. On your way out, mind the ghosts, aliens, and intelligent marsupials lodged in our subject's flank. And while you're stitching things up, take care not to leave any late night talk show hosts inside the patient.

Now, normally you might need to wait in line for hours before getting your Scumm prescription filled. But thanks to the miracle drug preorderax (also known by the trade name "Planet Scumm Issue #12 preorder"), you can skip the line and have "Skeletaxonomy" delivered to your home when it releases on November 26th—Black Friday. For the low, low copay of $14, get Planet Scumm #12!

And that's not all! Order now (or, like, in a few minutes if you need to go grab a credit card or something), and you'll also get a free bonus issue of Planet Scumm, pulled from our bank of back issues. Does a free bonus issue really jibe that well with the prescription metaphor we were laying down in the last paragraph? Not really, but who cares?

That's Planet Scumm #12, "Skeletaxonomy," AND one of our back issues, for only $14! Feel that beating in your heart? That's love. Sweet, electrophysiological love.
