We Have a New National Hero – Wednesday, June 29th, 2022

Cassidy Hutchinson will go down in history as a hero of our time. She has bravely sworn to tell the truth under penalty of perjury and is now the target of 10’s of thousands of rabid maniacs who have guns, malice, and blind fealty to a disgraced former president who wants to be king and implies they should do his dirty work. That’s IF there is real public education in the future where they teach real history. That future is at grave risk in the November Election, btw.

The relationship  between Tony Stark ande Patsy Walker takes center stage in IronCat #1 and the Iron Man Hellcat Annual #1 today. Star Wars is flooding the racks with 4 titles, and in the ultimate Meta reference, they have a new title called Variants. And issue number one, you will surprised to hear, has variant covers, so now people can ask “Do you have Variant variants?” and not be crazy. That’s enough.

July 4th is 4 days away. Bob will not be having any special sale or promotion, but will be open every day with regular hours. Livermore is having fireworks Monday night, so streets will start getting blocked around 5 pm and so you might want to park, shop and move your car before then. Official closing will be at 6pm, but Bob tends to hang around and take his time. Be safe.

We are still encouraging and welcoming masks, but not requiring them. 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. Watch this space and our Facebook page for the latest news about the rest of the month, season, year, millenium, etc. (And text messages from 5-Star.) The complete list is found below.
