Howdy all and I hope everyone is well! Seems winter continues on and we still have our fandoms to enjoy post-holiday season. There’s plenty of hot cocoa still to be had though so in my neck of the woods I’m going to grab a cup, bundle up, and sit by my bedside heater. But before I do so, let’s see what looks good this week!

It seems even in the galaxy-proper that mail proper is a professional gig, and so to is it for Intergalactic Postal Servicemen David Proton and Manny Corns. It’s a team up of space-wide proportions and there are sure to be some broken bones along the way!

And there we have it for the week, Gatherers and Grand Geeks! Tales of youthful serial killers taking vengeance on esoteric demons combined with stories of the Intergalactic Postal Service hard at work! These tales and others are available at the mere click of a button on your keyboards or at the touch of a screen on your tablets and/or phones. But being the conscious-minded supporters of local businesses that I trust you are I know you’ll head down to your comic shop this Wednesday to pick up the hardcopy issues themselves, many of which I might add offer curbside pickup in these precautionary times. Enjoy these stories and share with your friends. Start a conversation and be sure to leave a comment or two. But most importantly, remember…GGG!
