Possessor of the Matrix of Mediocrity. Comics, music, and geek culture are my jam. Part time goat farmer when not doing my day job. He/Him. Father. Husband. Ally. Certified Bluesky Elder.

I showed this to my soon to be 24 year old who made the happiest squealing sound a person can make. “Can we go?”, they asked. “Absolutley.” I never thought I would see them tour the states, let alone to one of the best and most intimate of venues in the Midwest (and close to home).

Updated the comics on my wall display to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the New Universe. A failed experiment but at least Marvel was willing to take the risk at creating something new. Most of these I bought as a kid, some are copies I saved from dollar bins to replace my originals.

(This is also why I think scamming has become more prevalent/mainstreamed than ever, because so many of the New Famous have literally no marketable skills to monetize their flood of attention. So they scam. But that's another thread.)

My recent haul from Pulp Planet. It was very difficult to stick with books that were on my “Wish List”. Finished the Red Circle Sorcery run, one issue left to complete both the Witching Hour and Dark Mansion, found those pesky Scarecrow issues, and chipping away at Secret House of Sinister Love.

We finally had a chance to check out a new comic shop. Pulp Comics in Pontiac, MI. Spent a couple hours talking to Dean, his wife Melissa, and Clyde the shop doggo. An amazing selection of silver, bronze and even pre-code comics. Knocked several books off my want list while we were there. #comics

My dear departed father was a good man, but not without his flaws. He drove the church bus on Sundays, loved to go to the local bluegrass jamborees, and demanded absolute silence during episodes of Wheel of Fortune. He was kind and was quick to help others in need. I miss him.
