R.I.P., Comic Book Guy

Rory Root, owner of my favorite comic shop ever, died today from surgery complications. This makes me really sad; not only did he run a kickass comic shop that's consistently gone out of its way to support creators and fans alike, but he was also just a really nice guy, always with a friendly greeting, a funny story, and great comic suggestions for me and anyone else I brought into the store. We'll miss you, man. Wherever you are now, I hope it's fantabulous.

OMG, I am also in some serious mourning over Rory. He helped me immensely when I started out managing the graphic novels collection when I was a librarian. What an awesome guy he was.
