IIRC you've got a son who knows ROM, you could make him a card with ROM's "Be Happy" cake, I'd like that. I've already used it again with a nephew. ;-)Gary Martin, Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11385338936431036524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-28833966803315030952015-11-17T22:03:32.485-08:002015-11-17T22:03:32.485-08:00yeah Gary shared that link with me a couple days a...yeah Gary shared that link with me a couple days ago they don't show you much but it's intriguing. indeed we are due for a cool ROM figure after all this time i'm sure I don't need to remind you how much I hate that heromugg doll.

Back issues of ROM displayed in center isle face up Next to Micronauts in the same way. I have never see that and maybe with IDW comming they both got more choice store space. Both books had pleanty in the bins as well but the face up center isle. I was susprised to say the least.

I haven't bothered going to a FREE COMIC BOOK DAY for the past couple of years because quite frankly the freebees are hardly worth making the trip for me but obviously next year will be a different matter.<br />Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-4141409517792620612015-11-13T06:36:30.685-08:002015-11-13T06:36:30.685-08:00I did see it was Bills Birthday.I Hope he is in go...I did see it was Bills Birthday.I Hope he is in good spirts .

My daughter loved it, I super-appreciate the 'fantastic' compliment, and surely it'll make Bill Mantlo smile; mission accomplished all around.<br /><br />Speaking of collaborations, I was pleased to learn here from you that Bill & Sal had a comic series team-up previous to the Wraith War, so I'm going to have to read up on Skull The Slayer when I get time. Alas (as ROM would say?), time, she does indeed fly. But we're having fun...at least you, Dale & I are. ;-)<br /><br />You're not alone in waiting for Onyx #3 either (next week finally according to http://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/JUL150425); until that IDW quote intimating that the artist is the cause, I had been wondering if maybe Chris Ryall was re-tooling the story to turn it into a 'prequel' (or 'sequel'?) to next year's ROM. Who knows, maybe he's had that in mind all along? That's the main reason I've been anticipating the rest of Onyx, actually.Gary Martin, Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11385338936431036524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-71952793778727409652015-11-10T14:27:16.029-08:002015-11-10T14:27:16.029-08:00Ha ha, it's hard dog life I see;)Ha ha, it's hard dog life I see;)Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-62245227360620201452015-11-09T20:08:15.041-08:002015-11-09T20:08:15.041-08:00All is well on my end.
