New Comics & the Blues
New Comics are in and on the shelf. Yet another comparatively small week but one standout book is The Art of Harvey Kurtzman. Kurtzman was the genius behind Mad Comics and much of the whole EC Comics line of horror and war comics as well.

Also, Unwritten #2 came in from Vertigo. I just read #1 last night and it has the potential to be a really great read. It's written by Michael Carey and drawn by Minneapolis artist Peter Gross. You should check it out - the first issue was only $1.00 as an incentive and it worked. I sold lots of copies and apparently it's going into a second printing.

Now for the blues part...

I just got word that the people who bought our old building will likely try to sue us. It's been brewing for about 6 weeks and since we hadn't heard back from them in the past 4 weeks or so, we thought they'd given up after our attorney had pointed out that they had no legal basis to sue. They still haven't as far as we can see, but that probably won't stop them. They have an attorney on their board of directors (they're a non-profit) so I think they can essentially sue us for very little cost since he'll do it pro bono. But it will cost me $175 times however many hours my attorney has to spend on it. Then there's the time I'll have to spend preparing as well. I'm just not sure how they think they can sue us for repair/remodeling work that wasn't dealt with in their due diligence phase of the process before they bought the building. It's been over 7 months since we closed and 18 months since we started this whole deal.

Lisa was here when I got the news about an hour ago. She was so distraught, she left in tears. Me, I'm just angry. It cost me $500 just to respond to their frivolous demands when they first made them. Now, who knows how much more it will cost.
