This past weekend Nicki, Mama Howe, and I went to the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL.

While we were in Huntsville we decided to see if there were any comic shops in town and there was…

The Deep!

It’s kind of your typical looking comic shop, but very organized with a good product mix’

They have a large selection of current comics, back issues, toys, tees, and more.

No individual Hero-Clix, but lots of other gaming figures and cards to be had- and played.

They have a large gaming area in the back right corner behind the graphic novel and gaming book section.

They have a kids/all ages friendly section.

Lots of cool sketches.

A few of the DC lead figures came home with us.

As well as some back issues and a Blackest Night Wonder Woman figure.

It was Mama Howe’s first time in a comic shop so Nicki showed her how to find some treasures by digging through back issue long boxes and the $1 bins.

I found a few good ones, too!

Stargods #2 (alternate cover) and Stargods Visions.

And a copy of Bushi Tales #2 (regular cover)- all at cover price or just slightly higher!

We had a great time visiting The Deep and will stop by whenever we’re in Huntsville. If you’re out that way I recommend stopping in.

Hey gang-

It got a bit Batty this weekend in Cape Girardeau, Mo.

But we all had an Incredible time at Cape-Con…even without capes!

Ethan Van Sciver was there signing autographs and doing some awesome sketches.

I got a Flash and several Cyber-Frog comics signed-

and picked up more guano for the bat-cave.

Decided to leave the “Exploding Man Peter” in Cape.

The drive up Saturday morning got scary leaving Memphis/West Memphis, but cleared up once we hit Missouri.

Jon Carroll and Jack-Jack drove up from Memphis on Sunday.

Antone and Janet Wade got there on Friday before the reeeeaaaallly bad weather.

Not sure when the Ninja got there…

but Ghost Rider showed up Saturday to meet his creator Gary Friedrich.

Ghost Rider also joined a lot of supers on stage for the costume contest.

Thanks to Ken Murphy for another great show!

Speaking of great shows, Nicki and I will be heading out west to the Phoenix Comic Con (Cactuscon) Memorial Day weekend.

Dave, Bushi Tales, and I got a mention by Cactuson director Matt Solberg on the Andrew Long Show podcast.

If you’re in the Phoenix area Memorial Day weekend stop by the Bushi Tales booth at Cactuscon and say hi!

May the FOURTH be with you!
