Wizard To Hypothetically Buy North Carolina Comic Com

Wizard To Hypothetically Buy North Carolina Comic ComThose of you who know me well know that I appreciate shameless huckstering in comics. From Stan Lee to Mark Millar, the ability to whip a crowd into a frenzy over basically nothing is a real skill and can be expertly played.
