Well, there are no new comics this week!  Not April Fool's either.

I have a month's worth of comics sitting in my file at my LCS which is closed due to COVID-19.

I ordered a few trade paperbacks online from Mile High Comics this morning. I'm sure they can use the business, and I certainly can use the reading material.

I've ordered 3 recent back issues (Thor) to fill in ones I missed. Though I do have plenty to read in the meantime.

Curbside service so I grabbed 

X0-Manowar #1
Rai #1,3-5
Doctor Tomorrow #2

I've always been a Valiant fan but I haven't liked some of the takes on their characters the last few years. But I decided to dip my toe back in to their water. I got the new Back Issue as well.

Shawn, I think the Rai book is terrific, but I didn't really read the character back in the old days of Valiant. (I mostly read Shadowman and XO.)

I read the first couple of issues last night, John. Dan Abnett's an underrated writer in my opinion. Valiant ads proclaim 2020 as "The Year of the Hero" so I hope that's the direction their line is going in because that makes me want to check out other books.

Got to Lone Star before it shut down, so now pretty close to completing runs of ASM (still need #792-793), Daredevil (Still need #610) and (sigh) the 90s Venom series of mini-series (two left). All on order from Mile High, so will hopefully have them soon(ish). Also, got the second and third Atom issues of Showcase.
