Awesome.  I wonder how many more issues they will sell.  I'm buying one.

And on the whole axes.  Are we really being that nerdy about a t-shirt joke inspired by a comic book character catch-phrase.  :-)  Do two nerdies cancel each other out?

It's a cool and clever t-shirt, not math.

Wait, how is Paul Montgomery posting from the wilderness!  Glad to hear you are still alive, thank goodness, Paul.

The Cons down here - when they even happen - are piss weak.  IMHO, anyway.  It might be exhausting, but the chance to meet, or even see, so many creators must be awesome.  Stan Lee, for f&^ks sake.

Funny as always, Jim.

@ Connor & Josh

Your comments in recent posts suggest you are frustrated or dissatisfied the community here.   I thing the posts in this thread were reasonable opinions overall.  I ask the same question stuclach did:  What did they do?

"I cleaned that room like dust had killed my family and framed me for the crime."

Hilarious.  Your wit makes me very jealous.

Connors mum wore Joker shoes.  God, I hope that's true.  it's awesome.

I was 23 when Batman came out and, embarrassing as it might be now, I wore exactly the same wardrobe as Josh.  Except for the shoes, damn it.  Couldn't ever find a pair in my size.

I wore so many pins it looked like I'd had some sort of strange falling accident in a novelty shop.

I also went to a viewing with everyone from my comic shop.

And, most surprising of all, I had a girlfriend who eventually married me.  How the hell did that happen?

And, even to this day, I love Stray Toasters despite the fact that I still don't know that I understand what it's about.

The 80s were a great time in comics.

The Shadow was one of the best books of the period.  Grown-up, ironic, hilarious.  It's sad that so few people seem to know of it.

The story I was given back then by my LCS owner was that the owners of the Shadow estate didn't like the "modernising" of the character and pressured DC drop the book.  I think it was actually moderately successfully and it's demise was not about sales.  A short time later a traditional style Shadow book started and, as far as I'm aware, lasted barely a few issues.  I loved that book and still have the issues boxed in my spare room.

Three weeks behind is nothing, my friend.  I'm so far behind that I have my unread books organised by week. I'm currently reading the books I bought the weeks of 8 April.  Feel better.

I also read Books of Magic when it came out and remember it fondly.  And all the art is gorgeous.  I read it again a few years ago and thought of Harry Potter (owl, glasses, the general look of Tim) but done with Gaiman's class and darkness.  Fantastic stuff.  Time to read it again I think.
