Darkwing Duck Returns –  Wednesday, January 25th, 2023

I just want to begin with…..It’s Wednesday and we haven’t opened yet. Letting that sink in. I’m “on time”!

Darkwing Duck is back. In comics, at least. We noticed a slight uptick in interest in back issues at my current store in Mpls, and wondered, and I think the release by IDW of #1 this week is why.  What year is this, 1990? There are exactly 4 items in our toy section. That is a record small in the 10 years I’ve been doing this. Something must have broken down at Diamond. Watch out next week! Marvel and DC are pretty normal or average or usual.

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, millennium, etc. (And text messages from 5-Star.) The complete list is found below.
