[Groop] Best girlfriend ever

[Ryan Simmons]

Hehee.  You can thank me for those wikipedia edits.  I look it upon myself
to tidy up the bibliography last year and since then have faithfully added
to it the 25 anniversary special and following 4 part miniseries.

Every couple of weeks I had to keep changing the release date because Dark
Horse kept changing it.  :(

I think it's hilarious that she wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't
been doing that.

My wiki handle is "The One Watcher".  Usually my online nickname is
something like 'watcher'.

Actually I better go remove the release date of the Anniversary special now
that it's out.  Anyone know any details about the Groo/Conan crossover?  I
know it's 6 books but anyone know the actually title or anything?
