More On The Passing Of Rory Root

If you read this site's obituary for the late legend of comics retail early in the day, there were several testimonials added and I made a pass or two on the content of the obituary itself. The collective memory entry in the 10 AM slot below continues to add entries and is already the longest we've had in a while. Also later in the day yesterday, Comic Relief's Todd Martinez emphasized that the store is open and will remain open.

Some are already calling for folks to patronize the store in order to give it a boost during difficult times. If you're in the area, I'd suggest this for sure, and if you have a huge order you want to make, I can't imagine it would hurt. I might wait before doing phone orders just to do a phone order until things settle down at the retailer. We'll hopefully talk to Martinez at the end of this week or the beginning of next week to get a sharper picture as to the shop's overall health and status after losing its longtime owner.
