Pride & Prejudice, War & not so much Peace – Wednesday, June 15th, 2022

It’s Pride Month, we still have discrimination, Russia is still killing in  Ukraine, and we have threats of civil war at home.

Meanwhile, last week’s DC’s showed up Friday, and are on the top row of the new comic wall, followed by this week’s. Diamond had one of the most accurate packing jobs I have seen in months, so almost everything we ordered for this week showed up on time! Warriors play tonight at 6 for NBA Champs #4 in 8 years. Exciting day! But no lack of drama….

The Jan 6 Committee True Crime Drama last week was a masterpiece of storytelling. It’s amazing how gripping the Truth can be when you tell about a cabal of criminals led by a crime boss to effect a Coup d’etat of the pillar of democracy in the most powerful country in the history of the world. It had everything: scumbags, plots, back-stabbing, lies, shills, con-men and marks, violence, cowards covering their tracks, enablers who found their conscience, and lots of bona fide heroes. If we hadn’t seen it on TV with our own eyes over the last 20 months, we would think it was too far-fetched to be believed. No matter which way you lean, all American citizens need to watch all of these hearings.

Marvel and DC were even smaller than last week, and everybody else was pretty small, too. I have no comment or recommendation.

Alameda County has reestablished an indoor mask mandate, until further notice. It’s still out there, with a new variant being created somewhere. Remember, you are only in our enclosed space for minutes, but Bob is there all day. We still need to be careful, people.

I am going to talk to the one person reading this. We have put a TON of effort into clearing out the aisles and getting things in order, especially the books and Pops. Please tell Bob you appreciate how the store looks and feels. And help us keep them in order.

Thanks to League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 8 across. So it’s a somewhat random sample. I’ll keep searching. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful.

Wednesday is Normally New Comic Day, no matter what you read on the internets.
