March Madness Gives Way to
April Showers – Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024

At least where I am.

Five weeks to Free Comic Book Day. Bob is getting a few of them in early (so they don’t all ship the week before and make the last shipment too big to handle) and I’ll start compiling the list on our FCBD page as the weeks count down and Bob’s orders arrive. There are 48 official comics in the world, and I’m not completely sure Bob will be getting all of them, so….there.

Really enjoying the games and stories in College Ball this week, eight teams left. Two of them are from NC State. Two of them are from UConn. One is still undefeated this year. One of them is from Iowa, and if they win, lots of people will write and talk about the best women’s player in history! The only thing that would be a bigger story was if Minnesota was still in there! Lots of fun. Six games left starting Friday.

Let me see, what else am I supposed to cover??? Oh, yeah. Deadpool has a new #1, I think it’s, um, voluuuuume….infinity! DC has comics, Image and the rest have comics, and the petrochemical department is a little light this week. S’all.

Thanks to League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. 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.
