Opening the door to a wider world of expression
A bit of a delay this week as I had to take some time out to catch a screening of an obscure little movie you probably haven’t heard about. But I’m here now, so let’s see what I bought. From DC: BATMAN BEYOND #19 – “The Long Payback” finale! When Batman was at the mercy…

As mentioned yesterday, the comic shop was closed when I got there, and, being lazy, I never bothered to find out if they managed to resolve their computer issues so that I could make another trip there and give buying new comics another shot. After all, I’m not religious, but it seems like I should…
Upon my arrival at the comic shop today I was greeted with a sign informing me that their computer system was down. I didn’t check to see if the sign was written in lamb’s blood, but I’m going to guess that it wasn’t. Of course, having been raised a Lutheran, I initially likened it less…
