The Times, They Are A Changing

Thanos Vs Warlock

    Usually, at this time I post my comic picks of the week.  Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 crisis, the comic book industry is on pause.  I understand that comics are not considered"essential" and that is why, among other reasons, that delivery and downloads of new comics is on hold.

    Let's hope everyone starts to take this pandemic a little more serious than I have seen people do so we can beat this virus.  Stay at home!  It's that simple.  Once we defeat the virus, the sooner we can return to our normal routines, like going to our favorite comic store every Wednesday.  

    I am still going to post my favorite comic cover over on my Facebook page to celebrate the wonderful artwork.  Until next time, Be Safe, Stay Safe, and get your READ on!

**The Times, They Are A'Changing is a song by Bob Dylan.  I suggest you check it out.**

2020 Iron Age #1 (Variant)

    With all the Madness going on today, it is comforting to know that new comics will still be a part of my life.  I know the time will come when the government, as well as common sense, will say comics are not a priority,  Well, that is when digital downloads come in.  I love the feel of a comic in my hand, but desperate times call for desperate measures.  Stay home, download your comics.  If you need the physical copy, order them online like I do most of the time.But most importantly, Take care of YOU and your loved ones.  Here is the list of the titles I will be getting to help with passing time in my fortress of solitude. I hope you see something you like.
