I actually ventured out into the world today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, the only thing that could me to do that would be comics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, it was for a signing by artist Jim Calafiore at my local comic shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got some comics signed and got a free sketch of Scandal Savage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s not all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had forgotten\/never known* that Calafiore was signing today but was reminded when I saw it mentioned on Facebook, so that wasn’t what originally got me to venture out into the world, it was just a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What actually got me to leave the house was a Comic Book Club meeting hosted by Brad and Lisa from Comic Book Couples Counseling<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while the main thing I hauled away from that was a good time discussing Helen of Wyndhorn<\/em> by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, Mateus Lopes, and Clayton Cowles, I also got pins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I kept the discussion guide as a souvenir, though it is a bit worse for wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, I also got a new phone and a new smartwatch, but those aren’t comics, so who cares?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, it was a good day and I’m glad I was willing to actually give up on being a shut-in for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m looking forward to next month when the topic of discussion will be All Star Superman<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*I knew that he was going to be signing there at some point but kept forgetting to find out the date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
