Rest in peace James.
I lived around the corner from Hub Comics for years. Before that James and I used to take the same bus into work, though we never talked. When James was first interviewed by the Globe I recognized him immediately and was excited for him. We chatted on Twitter occasionally, we exchanged a few emails, but I (being really introverted) never made the jump to an in-person conversation. That said, I felt tremendous pride for Hub Comics and always made it a point to follow along with them on Twitter and root for them all along the way through the hardships they’ve faced. You’ll be missed James.
I hope, too, that Hub Comics stays open. It’s an amazing place.

I think I found a new hobby.
UPDATE: Once again, Hub Comics makes me squirt milk out my nose.
Hub Comics was much more nice that I was, and funnier to boot.
Oh man, I love the intro to the New Mutants… what a terrific cover too… I love how they are totally unfamiliar compared to the X–Men.
**New Mutants cover art **: At the offices of Comiclink, Josh Nathanson showed me some of his original art. He didn’t have his splash page for X-Men #1 in the office, but he did have this — the original cover art for Marvel Graphic Novel #9 — the intro of the New Mutants.
