Michael Boze of HawgHead Comics in Fort Smith, Arkansas read the recent article about Hastings Entertainment expanding into comic books (see "Hastings Entertainment Adds Comics") and had this to say:

I have had the local Hastings carry comics for several weeks, nothing major to report except for a customer who came in over the weekend.

His comment has to carry major weight and I will not try to repeat verbatim but this is the general message: "I will only have to preorder three comics now since I can go to Hastings and read theirs off the rack for free."
