Awww, damn:
It’s Groundhog Day and I didn’t see my shadow this morning so that means spring is coming soon. Unfortunately, it also means that RIOT is closing its doors soon as well.
Yes, the dream comes to an end on Saturday, February 24th.
However, there’s one thing I want to clarify (and thanks to Mr. Matt Fraction for pointing this out to me): RIOT is closing by choice and NOT by necessity. See, I’ve been offered one of those government jobs that would be foolish to refuse…with the easy 9-5 schedule, fully paid benefits, amazing retirement plan and unmatched networking opportunities. I’ll be joining the Democratic Caucus of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in three weeks. And I’m doing it for my family’s future (and my own sanity).
Yeah, it’s been brewing for a while now. And, honestly, I couldn’t be happier.

Not out of necessity…hmmm…funny he couldnt find a buyer to take over the business.
With the pending release of comics in digital, downloadable format, sold directly by Marvel/DC and out of Diamond’s clutches- this is the future of the many comic stores.
