<FONT FACE="Verdana">I want to gripe a little here. You remember I asked where to buy Solo online and then I decided I could get it at a local comix shop. So yesterday, I called the shop, which is about a 25 minute drive from my house. I asked if they were getting Solo #11 in. The guy said yes, that they would have it on Wednesday. I asked if I could reserve a couple and he said, “Oh we can’t do that because we have already made our order. If we have any to put out on the shelves, it’s on a first-come first-serve basis.” Now what kind of a stupid way is that to run a store?!? Order <I>only </I>what you <I>know </I>is going to sell and have no extra inventory? I mean, you might as well become a mail-order house. What if Target or WalMart worked that way? You could only get product if you pre-ordered it. Screw ‘em. I’m ordering it from Mile High Comics.<BR>
<BR>
Back to your regularly scheduled insanity.<BR>
