I remember being skeptical at the time of Marvel taking over the Trek license. I’ve got an almost complete run from DC (and early Malibu stuff). Marvel did better than I thought they would!

Going through old comic books looking for something. Found this great Daredevil run + I’d forgotten Marvel did a ‘Pike’s Enterprise’ 20+ years before Strange New Worlds…

But then I got distrac-Hey! You’re here though! That’s cool. No. I haven’t had caffeine since this mornin.

No! Wait. Let me check… No! Although I was texting DeNardo yesterday. I did get a dog. Does a dog count? Mine can’t. He thinks one treat is zero treats and he should get at least three. And by three why don’t I just leave the bag open on the counter and walk away?
