I Had a Great High School Reunion – Wednesday, October 19th, 2022

I’m very lucky. I love my family, and I have the best long-term friends in the world. I had 3 days of good times and good memories with my classmates. I was even one of the featured speakers at the banquet. So much fun, that  I’m moving back to Minnesota (or Wisconsin – yikes!) Anyway, I’m here for 7 more days, and then back to finish packing, and I might drop in one more Wednesday. Wish me luck.

This week’s DC’s are represented by Batman, who’s having another Bad Day with the Penguin,  along with the Flash, Harley, Adam, some Vampires, and GCPD. Marvels include Predator, Alien, Carnage (no connection there), Darth, Shang-Chi, X-Force & Men, Miracleman enters the Silver Age, and Spider-Man turns deadly. Firefly is All New, Alph Betas start counting with #1, Frazetta is back, Spawn is a Gunslinger again, and  Shirtless Bear Fighter 2 #3 is in!

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.
