I had thought I’d hear about new Groo first here, but better late than never, I have no time to follow other Groo forums. I’m off to the comic shop tomorrow and try to rectify things. Also I will be needing to replace a bunch of my Groo back issues as I foolishly knocked a cup of water into a box of comics.
