It's been a week since @Ssnyder1835 and Sanford Greene gave us a look at just what Darkseid has been up to after DC KO. I got to chat with Sanford on release day, in a convo touching on Retailer Exclusives, In-Continuity vs Self-contained stories, and the importance of o/7Al1ygUN0H

If you visit savethecomicshop.com there are some testimonials about Oh Em Gee Comics. Who has two thumbs, desperately needs a haircut and has something to say about The Comic Shop? This guy.

One reason I love @Ssnyder1835’s writing on Absolute Batman? He gave Bruce actual FRIENDS.
