Mile High Comics and the Daily LITG 8th June 2020
The world seems like a terrible and strange place sometimes, but fandom still brings us together. These are strange times, but The Daily LITG is becoming a valuable way to quantify just what comic book geek culture is up to in this time of trial. Yesterday there was a confluence of retailer response to DC distribution changes courtesy of Mile High Comics and Impulse Creations, Gerry Conway's reaction to how police use the Punisher skull and Marvel liquidating a bunch of omnibuses, while Warren Ellis turned up the gay notch on Marvel Illustrated Swimsuit Special. Welcome all, to the daily Lying In The Gutters, a long-running run around the day before and the day ahead. You can sign up to receive it as an e-mail here.
