Not sure how many my LCS ordered of Trio #1... I saw 2 of the standard covers on the rack and two copies (one varient cover) in my pull-box as of yesterday afternoon.

After keep asking if they had Trio # 1 for more than 20 minutes, the clerk asked me if I wanted one and if I would prefer that Trio 1 were delivered in a more discreet way: "If you want I can give it to you in a black bag". 

What's wrong with this guys?

That story makes no sense.

Nathan: The comic was not on display and I was asking about Trio #1. No one knew nothing about it. After 20 minutes, one of the clerks asked me if I really was looking for it. After I told him that I was serious about it he told me to wait for him at the counter. Then he told me that he could give me the comic in a very discreet way "inside a black bag" as if I was buying some kind of embarrasing material and I was afraid that someone else could look what I was buying.

I DO believe it happened... I just don't understand WHY they would act that way?? It doesn't make sense to me. You weren't buying an "mature readers" book. You're at a comic book store... they understand what the product is. TRIO is an all-ages book. What's the embarrassing part??

I guess I would have asked, "Why do I need a black bag"?

I'm glad the reviewer is encouraging people to read the book, but a couple
of the things he says makes me feel as if we read two different comic
books!

That review would have been considered "FRESH" on RottenTomatoes... so I viewed it as a good thing :)
