Its been about 10 years since I have done this. The first thing I have noticed is...no Previews!
I learned about 2 weeks ago my LCS has canceled his Diamond account. As someone who has ordered all off his comics from Previews for about 30 years. This was quite a shock. I\ve also worked there before, and I understand his problems. Hell, they haven't even had a sales associate in over 10 years.
So, all of the books will be between Penguin, Lunar, etc. Anything that is Diamond only he is trying to work out. A new dynamic for me for sure. I do understand his frustrastion. Shorted on comics, damaged comics, and just being left in limbo.

THE COMPLETE CARL BARKS DISNEY LIBRARY Vol. 1: "Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold"
This is it, man: the last volume of "The Complete Carl Barks Library"! It is also, by a strange quirk of fate, the first volume. For a long time, this was one of the few archival sets I collect that I was absolutely up-to-date on reading. Then, about half way through the series, I fell behind. I used to keep my read volumes on one shelf and my unread volumes on another, so it was easy to keep track. Then I rearranged my shelves, brought them all together and shelved them in volume order. Because they were released so wildly out of chronological order, I completely lost track of which volumes I had read and which I had not. Now that the first (and last) volume will son be released, I will be able to read/re-read them all in order.
I was thinking about this trope a while back. You could run the economy of a while other planet and redecorate Versailles or the White House with the amount of gold that fictional pirates have buried over the year and then just left for future adventurers and brave children to find.
I rarely buy "Archie" comics, nor do I buy "Jay & Silent Bob" comics, yet there's something about the perversity of combining these two diverse franchises that appeals to me.
Hopefully, it is already completed. Smith isn't known to be timely with his comics work.
Well, it's a one-shot...
