We may be dealing with some other delays this fine Wednesday, but our Pick of the Week is not one of them! Who doesn’t want a little drama, a little nostalgia, a little murder mystery, a little exploring the human condition as we transition into fall? Copies are on the shelves at both locations now!

Heroes for hire and private detectives. A missing cat and a mysterious murder. Two rag-tag teams ready to jump into action! 💥

Homer and I couldn’t agree on one so I decided to do both(can you guess who chose what?). It’s a double Pick of the Week that U can’t go wrong with!! Get both or get either, U won’t be disappointed!

Not every employee departure occurs amicably; for dozens of reasons. This is not the time for rehashing past mistakes, but to celebrate one of the best employees I’ve ever hired. Brandon is leaving us today, exactly five years after he began, and I still remember the day he asked for a job. He was a new-ish customer, but always a joy to talk to whenever he was in. I tend to hire on instinct (and a simple but very specific five-question test), and I’m glad my instincts were spot-on this time! Brandon understood the mission; to provide an experience that measures up to OUR standards, not anyone else’s. He worked hard in spite of the challenges that life kept throwing at him; he knew how to bring it every day. But more importantly than any of that, I need to point out that Brandon is one of the finest human beings on planet Earth. And he’s taking the qualities that make him such a good dude and pointing them toward people that need the positive energy he brings to every challenge he faces. His community will be the better for it, even if our little comic book community will be the lesser for it. It’s been my pleasure to have him as part of the Up Up & Away! family and wish him nothing but the best.

Alright, folks. We’ve got some news to share from Team UUA, and while we’ll have more to say in a bit, we’d like BC’s words to speak first 💙

“These last five years have been pretty great. Working at UP UP & AWAY! has no doubt been the gig of a lifetime. It's not lost on me that every shift I work, I’m surrounded by the best curated comic stock this side of Metropolis.

Hand’s down, Kendall, Andrew, and Kelsey work their butts off to make our shops great, and it’s been an honor to work alongside them in the knock-down-dragout industry of comic book retail. You gotta hustle everyday to make it in this biz, often one book at a time. These folks taught me much about how to show up everyday and make it happen. I’ll be forever grateful for the chance to have worked for such a great local business. It’s been a whole lotta fun!

That being said, my last day at UP UP & AWAY! will be this Friday, August 14th – five years to the day from my first shift on that weird COVID FCBD in August ‘21. What an odyssey it’s been. I’ve learned a ton and had a blast, but I’m bowing out to fight the good fight in other areas of life. Well over a year ago, I was approached by my faith community with an opportunity to lead efforts to put some good back into the neighborhood by serving folks who need real help during this time. After mulling it over these many months, I realized I couldn’t pass up such a great opportunity, so I’ve decided to accept the challenge.

I’ve tried to tell as many of you as possible in person, but I know I’ve missed quite a few of you. Please know that I appreciate each and every one of you. Getting to talk about life and comics each week in person and on the podcast has been awesome. Thanks for a great time.

Don’t worry, I’ll still be around as I’m able. Y'all know I can’t quit this comic habit that easily.
