<DIV> I encourage everybody to buy at least 2
issues of Solo #11 from their nearest comic shop next Wednesday. This
series has a real low print run (way under 10,000) and
if that issue sells out, that'll show there's a huge demand
for Sergio's and Mark's work. DC Comics love to announce whenever any
of their books sell out and that'll send a message to comic book
companies including Mike Richardson at Dark Horse. Maybe
possibly bringing back Groo comics sooner???</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Let's all buy multiple copies,
people! We could make it happen! Only $4.99 an
issue! Sure, it's a bit of money but we've paid for Groo
books before and still felt ripped off.....so how 'bout this one
too!?!?! =) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Oh by the way, Solo is getting canceled
after issue #12. Go Groo!</DIV>
