Comic Relief in Berkeley, the best stocked comic book store I've ever seen, is closed.
That's for real? Someone was saying that and I didn't believe it, since I was just there in January. That's very sad.
I've never been to Dark Carnival.

Me! I overheard a rumor and posted it here.

It's actually a great store. Smallish space with odd off rooms and an upstairs and packed to the ceiling with stock. Disorganized, but in a way I don't mind.
But it's inconveniently located if you don't have a car.

It was not you, but good try! It was someone at my comic book club.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Basically, the original owner, Rory Root, passed away in 2008, and the store couldn't recover from that blow.

My first day of Emerald City Comic Con can be summed up thus:
I spent the evening in a bar with Darick Robertson.
Let's see what day two will bring.
