Sorry, that was just one of the better moments from comics this week and I couldn't think of a better subject title. Anywho, just mentally recovering at the moment. Finished the bulk of data entry on a new point-of-sale system, which pretty much required transfering about 400 subscriptions one by one and title by title. Still a little while before the complete launch, but it has taken a major leap forward. After clocking in a crapload of overtime to do that I wasn't much for updates, so I'm just wondering what I can cram in here.
A question for anyone who has been reading the Green Lantern titles: How are you enjoying it? Or are you tired of the build up and Blackest Night hullabaloo?
I ask because while our sales have been storng and growing, a few customers have dropped the titles because they A) Don't feel it is going anywhere worthwhile, B) Has been taking too long for the build up, and C) Feel it requires them to read too many different titles.
I'm pretty much the opposite on all of the above myself. Especially the too many different titles part, since it's only two different books. I actually prefer Corp over GL because Tomasi is doing a fantastic job of balancing numerous sub-plots with a huge cast. Regardless, sure, when Blackest Night actually starts there are a few minis besides the main title but I'm a little more confident they won't be as mandatory as say Superman Beyond was to Final Crisis.
I actually really enjoyed the Agent Orange stuff as well, so all in all I'm having trouble really understanding some of the complaints.
Let's see, what else is interesting:
-So, on Saturdays we close at 8pm. This past Sat a few minutes after 8 and before we could get the doors closed, a group of customers walk in. I politly let them know that we will be closing in a few minutes. So they look around the center of the store for a sec, turn around and head out, and one of them snidly says "That's customer service for you."
I feel that I would have been found innocent if I actually had bashed his skull in, but I was tired and just let it go. That guy is probably gunna be the one dude who goes online and starts to bitch about us though >_<
-No one seems to be buying the extra copies of Captain America: Reborn that I ordered so far
-_-
We upped the order an extra 60 over normal Cap numbers as well, so yay.
Also, didn't Captain Sisko suffer basically the same type of problem once that Steve Rogers seems to be experiencing here?
-Damn it's a good week for apes
That's about all I have for now.Oh, and this:

as far as the slow pace Darkest Night is taking i'm digging it. there have been very few throw away issues where not much happens so far (unlike other DC stuff).
i think it's laying the groundwork for a seriously good run. people who think it's going anywhere worthwhile should give it a bit more time. And agreed Agent Orange is pretty much the shit and is shaping up to be a pretty awesome baddie.
i would tell the naysayers steady as she goes and have some patience. and you should have totally bashed that guy in the head. no court would have convicted you.
