It’s Like Medicine – It’s Not Pleasant, and there is Going to Be Some Pain  – Wednesday, April 9th, 2025

But we’ll be better on the other side – if there is another side. We’ve bet everything on Red 47. If this were a game of roulette, at least there would be A chance of winning. But I am VERY TIRED of the winning. So…

Small week for comics and toys. I wonder if Diamond is slowing down their plastic department, or it’s being slowed down by vendors cutting them off. One of these days, they’ll be gone.

FCBD is less than a month away, and the list keeps expanding, and Bob’s list so far is here.

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. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.

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.
