A quick note on things to expect in the future...

My parents are in the process of attempting to move, and so I've been receiving boxes of things I left behind from when I was still living there (which hasn't been since 2004). Years ago my brother had gifted me with some random assortments of comics, and at the time I simply wasn't interested, being heavily invested in numerous ongoing series. Most of it looked like garbage, and so I never really bothered taking a closer look, and so when I brought my comics with me after moving out, those particular ones stayed behind, and I didn't think about them for years.

When I was first informed about the move, I had an opportunity to personally go through all my stuff (it is to be understood that I live in Colorado, and so rarely have to visit home, which is in Maine), and when I remembered them, I took another look at all those random comics. As I was perusing, I kept thinking, "Huh! I don't remember that! Huh! Huh!" You get the idea. I had found a few back when I originally inventoried them, some that immediately interested me, but even those I'd forgotten about. And when the boxes that were shipped here finally arrived, I looked again, and was even more amazed at everything I had glossed over, things that apparently didn't register. Maybe times had changed enough, my perspective had shifted. Or maybe I'm just more desperate now.

Anyway, I'll be writing about these comics in future editions of Quarter Bin. I've got a lot of back issues still to go through, so a lot of themed columns are still forthcoming, but the apparently popular Thousand Title Rundowns will return. Yay!

Of course, I still need to read them first...
