Non-spoiler new comics reviews on Tuesdays!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that in a Marvel comic before. It kind of broke the macabre tone for what I guess would be considered “fan service” & I wonder if each issue will have a moment like that to balance the graphic horror.

There would literally be no “Lord Retail” without you and Jinxworld! I’ll never be able to thank you enough for your role in all this :)

I love these. Always did. There’s another in the back that’s part of our mail order system for outgoing purchases :)

Thank you my friend! When I went to my first ComicsPro you made it a point to approach me & chat & hang out. I’ve never forgotten that. Comic shop folks can be introverted & Human do tend to stick to familiar cliques, but you made me feel welcome. Like I was indeed supposed to be there too :)

I always thought you were a super cool dude! Still do! When I first visited your Chapel Hill Comics and saw how you presented graphic novels I thought “wow I gotta step things up!” Also your bookcase still lives on in our All Ages area :)

Nothing so far content related but it did find homes at midnight and new release Wednesday!

I think all of these take really bold swings, really looking at the source material concept without bring precious about any of the finished, established ideas we know. I think that's what was required for Midnight to succeed as a project.

See if it passes the test as a first issue by itself and also as the first issue of a potentially wide open and long running series.

I’m the same. Coffee is a utility for me not a treat. If I haven’t had enough sleep and a lot ahead to do then it’s a coffee day. But then the morning coffee keeps me awake at night, so then the next day is a coffee day…
