gothams3rdrobinI was waiting very impatiently for lunchtime today, very very aware of just what it was I was picking up.
I think fate knew this....
Got to the comic shop - and they haven't had a delivery! My friend is apparently in the middle of a nasty row with the courier who brings his delivery, 'cause he was late last week and took offence at being bawled out for it. So he threatened to not deliver until the evening this week.
The swine made good on his threat.
He turned up at twenty to eight this morning - naturally there was no-one at the shop at the time, since they don't open till ten. My friend spent the morning ringing and emailing - and has had to turn the majority of his customers away till tomorrow.
And the really sickening thing is that the same guy delivers to Forbidden Planet, which is literally just up the road, at a designated delivery time of ten thirty. So there's no real excuse for arriving that early.
Colour me obsessed/foolish/whatever - but I absolutely had to have the issues that came out today, so I called into FP on the way back to the office. But I'll still go back to my friend tomorrow and collect my subscription. Because we're friends.
So. If anyone wants a copy of Identity Crisis #5, Teen Titans 17, or the latest War Games issues (Robin 131, Gotham Knights 58 and Batgirl 57), let me know and they're yours. First come, first served.
