Let's kick this week off with some of the best Velocity Comics news of all time--WE'VE BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN EISNER AWARD! Yes, we're up for this years SPIRIT OF RETAILING AWARD! Right now we're competing in the first round, and we'll find out soon if we're going to make it to the top five, so keep your fingers crossed. I think this kind of puts Patrick Godfrey on the same level as Shaka Smart. Expect to see them rolling around in matching Escalades soon.
ALSO: It's the time of year when many of you are preparing to flee the city of Richmond for your palatial summer estates, so allow me to remind you first that YOU SHOULD LET US KNOW WHAT IS UP. If you want to put your box on hold for the summer, that's fine. If you want to continue getting stuff, that's fine too. Just make sure you communicate with us and keep in mind that we'll have no choice but to drop your stuff if we don't see you within the normal timeframe. We're willing to accommodate whatever, as long as we can all agree on something. And that, I think, is one of the reasons we're nominated for an Eisner.
