I wanted to let you know that this is a great place to chat about your thoughts on the various comics that don’t get talked about. If you want to talk about Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #47 for example. You could write
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #47:
Arkillo and Guy Garner are the best buddy cops ever.
