Well, I guess it was a hit after all, shocking!!! While it is no surprise at all, I guess the announcement of a second printing coming so soon might be. I don't know about the Print Industry at all. I imagine some squinty eyed, mole looking dude in a dark basement busy putting letters together to make a forme and placing it in the coffin. Yea, I just looked that up on Wikipedia. I do wish that I I could run into said basement and yell, "Stop the presses" and ruin that guy's whole day. I'm a jerk like that! Also, can I get a hat with a "Press" card attached to it? Those are so cool!!! Maybe someday, but in the meantime, here is DC Comics official Press Release with may or may not contain some pretty dead on balls accurate quotes...

If Reggie was actually called Craig instead of toting around his huckleberry name he'd now that Doom Patrol is coming on Young Animal. Has Weird Science talked about Young Animal yet? It looks like it might be really good fun.
ReplyDeleteIt was actually a joke and yes, we have heard of it, Reggie will be reviewing it and Eric doesn't actually like pinatas and I really have 8 kids.
