Mike’s New Comics Day Lunchtime Update 3010.
Happy Hellboy Day! Our Hellboy promotional material showed up…today, an hour and a half after we opened.

(In our defense, nobody is at their stores at 7:30 in the morning anywhere on our block.) And apparently they tried again on Tuesday, though I was here all that day and never saw a UPS truck.
But all is well now, and we’re having a sale on Hellboy books, and we’re giving away bookmarks and posters, and everyone’s happy. The end. (Or…is it?)

Employee Aaron: “Mike, did you wear the Death of Superman memorial armband?”
Me: “Yes, but not on my arm.”
Employee from the game store: “Oh, man.”
Employee Aaron: “Mike, this Echo comic book….”
Me: “Yes?”
Employee Aaron: “You realize it’s about super-boobs, right?”
Me: “…”
