All right.

This month was Geeks' Choice and it was my choice.

I picked up Elephant Men the first issue.

I think it was July of 2006.

That would be right.

I picked it up at San Diego.

Well, the first year was 2005, so it was that second year or whatever.

Yep.

I remember because I was there too, and I picked it up at the same time.

And I've just been getting it in every month ever since.

It's one of the two comics that I get monthly.

And I've just really, really enjoyed it.

And so I'm curious to see what everyone else's reaction is.

I'm not sure if you'll all be as enthusiastic as I am, but I'm curious to see.
