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 […]

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, […]

There were a lot of options to choose from this week – especially considering I picked up some things I should have picked up last week – and I could have finally had my chance to write about the always outstanding work of Brubaker and Phillips, but ultimately my decision […]

A fairly light week, with not a lot of choices, given that I’m unlikely to read a full trade in time to formulate anything to write about. It’s worth noting that this is the first week in which my theory that I wouldn’t have it in me to get in […]
