C'mooonnn, man, hook me up!!!

Each time I hear someone approach the comic shop's door today, the response I hear is always the same: "Aw, SHIT!" To which the dejected customer either leaves, or more likely enters the store for lack of anything better to do.

Now, if I don't hear the "Aw, SHIT!", it's because the customer missed the signs I'd posted out front, whipped together with old SPX fliers, scotch tape, and a sharpie. So when the oblivious customer-to-be enters, full of pep and on the verge of whistling, it's now up to me to personally break the news:

"Our new comics have been delayed till about 3:00."

He blinks, barely comprehending. "... wait, what?" Bear in mind, he's already frustrated because New Comics Day has already been delayed due to New Year's. That's two whole days delay. But now it's Friday. The promised New Comics Arrival Date for this week. It's here. They should be here.

"Yeah, UPS fucked up. We're getting them late."

"Aw, SHIT!"

I feel like a failure of a drug dealer, stuck in a store full of jonesin' customers in the midst of horrid withdrawal.

i THOUGHT nOVA WAS OUT OF THE aNNIHILATION STUFF NOW ANYWAY?

oops.. capslock.

Well, I cant read 3 till I read 2. Still, we may as well grab it while it's there.

Are you going to get more #2 in?

He is... sssssssorta. Phalanx-infected Gamorra just showed up, but they're both not directly involved in the actual Annihilation conflict. It's a great issue anyway.

# 2 is completely sold out from the publisher. They'd better get their asses in gear and do a second printing, but so far, there's nothing I see. First one I see I'll grab for you, rest assured. I won't fail you again!

Still, I really thought I'd gotten it for you as well. Totally must have spaced, I just assumed... well, sorry, pally. I'll do better.

I'll double check that I don't have it, but I'm pretty sure I don't.
