Back in the Bay – One More Time – Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022

Still have a mild cough that refuses to go away.

I’m really pressed for time collecting, sorting, cleaning, consolidating, and figuring out how to pay for it all. This time next week, I had better be 1000 miles away, or something went wrong,I was there Wednesday, and can verify that we had to claim over 20 shortages, mostly comics, and in the Marvels at least, only one of 2 or more variants, so desperate readers found at least one to read. I think a small box got sent to the wrong account.

Almost every DC title has a Bat in it, or he’s inside, or something. Marvel is big on # 1’s, with Deadpool, Secret Invasion and Tiger Division. The big one from the others is Image’s Hell to Pay #1. We got several more new Funko Pops and I did what I could to catch up with last week’s tsunami of them. Good luck to the crew for the rest of the year and beyond.

We are still encouraging and welcoming masks, but not requiring them. 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 still 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.
