A little over a year ago (January 2023, to be precise), I published a post about my “local comic shop,” New England Comics in Harvard Square, closing down. Here it is: It was semi-life-changing, because it meant the end of an era for the store, but also for me because I shifted to ordering my comics through the mail instead of making a weekly sojourn to a store. My prediction was that I would end up ordering things that I didn’t want and remain subscribed to books that I didn’t like anymore just because I would forget to cancel or whatever, but none of that has happened. I think I have doubled-up or gotten something by mistake only a couple times, so I consider that a win. And everyone likes getting packages!
