Hello Comic Shop Friends! Hopefully, none of you were stuck in a time loop on Groundhog Day! And if you were, I hope you learned ice carving and read all the comics! If you want some excellent time loop movies I\u2019d recommend, Timecrimes, Palm Springs, and Happy Death Day. A great comic about living the same situation over and over, is the overlooked Love Everlasting. Find it on our Tom King rec row!<\/p>\n\n\n
