This Week in Geek 6/25(7/1/08) As the rivers begin to recede so begins the new comics shipment delays. The shelves at your local comic shop may look a little bare this week.

This Week in Geek 6/4(6/6/08) I know I know. I’m late. New comic day was yesterday and I was coming home from a short vacation. I beg your collective forgiveness and promise it won’t happen again, mainly because I’m not paid enough to vacation more than once every five years or so. Plenty of news this week.
