Whoa, I didn't even realize this was coming out. I'll have to look for it at the shop today.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can't say they've done a terrific job promoting it. And it looks like it was pushed back from the original release date. But it's on Diamond shipping list for the week, and my local store said they were getting it in today.
