I've swung hard from "use Duran now" to "hold onto him for this year." The vibes on the team are strong and swapping him and Anthony in the lineup seems to have unlocked something.

ack. Alright, thanks. Hope you're hanging in there with everything going on.

Question for you - with Polygon gutted, I genuinely don't know where to go for comicon news. How are you going to track things?
