It’s a long way to the top.
Monday, October 27th, 2008As Chris and I keep our eyes on the zenith of comic fame, assistance from those in a position of power is always welcome. So when the guys at our friendly, clean, well-staffed, and existing comic book store offered to stock copies of our first brilliant mini, Let’s Be Friends Again #1, we were at first perplexed as to why an establishment that prides itself on it’s comprehensive back issue stock of Genus would want to sell our mini. I had serious misgivings about this partnership, but when they popped open the briefcase full of Sovereign Seven Mini-Mates, I had no chance to voice my concerns as Chris readily accepted their deal.
So imagine my surprise when I go into the store today and see this:

Yeah, thanks a lot Comics & Collectibles. Nobody’s ever gonna buy that copy of Secret Invasion. It’s just too intimidating for the average customer. We’re stuck in that stygian corner until a man comes along who can handle a book with a Skrull and Wolverine on the cover. Look at those doves. It’s like the coolest John Woo movie you’ve never seen. Skrull Spider-Man and Wolverine facing off in slow motion as some doves flutter around while some comic book called Corpse just sits in the shadows and watches, silent; it’s jaw on the ground at the unrepentant absoluteness of Secret Invasion #7.
