"One of the rare delicacies afforded the comiXology columnist is the opportunity to escape the low class operation that is "paying for your comics like a chump" and to have them dispensed, gratis, courtesy of the publisher."

Wait--what? I'm actually a...CHUMP? I could have been getting my comics free all this time? Where do I sign??

I miss when people used "chump" as a big A-level insult. It's such an awesome word.

Also, I can count on one hand the free comics I've received over my long storied career as "some guy who writes these columns", so trust me: you can catch up and overtake me in about a week. As I understand it, Chris Staros is willing to make home delivery of most of the Top Shelf line if you give him a box of nectarines.
