My friends and family came together to help me realize a dream. And five years later it’s still here, and thriving.
It’s been a long journey and I am eternally grateful to those of you who have helped me and the store along the way. You are, all of you, amazing and I love you. ❤️
Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day. If you’re in Seattle and so inclined, stop by Phoenix. I would love to see you, and we have some free comics for you too. 💙
