Farewell Post: Marvel Star Wars #38

[cmdr_zoom]

Yeah, I'm outta here.
I'll miss the comics. I'll miss the fun.
Some of the other stuff, I won't miss.
Vaya con dios, and clear skies.




Context, for those who desire some, is here.

This is the last page of my first post to the original scans_daily, some five years ago. I could not have imagined how appropriate it would be now.

My thanks to the mods, past and present, for their service.

Cool things that this community introduced me to:

Darwyn Cooke and The New Frontier
Jaime Reyes and his family and friends
Blacksad
Mike Wieringo (RIP)
Grant Morrison's and Joe Kelly's runs on JLA
Amanda Conner
Gail Simone
World's Funnest (favorite bits: Frank Miller's DKR parody and Bizarro World's collective response to extinction: "We am doomed! Yay!")
Karl Kerschl and Teen Titans Year One
Runaways and Young Avengers
Invincible
Ex Machina
All-Star Superman and Superman: Secret Identity
Fables
Planetary
Marvel Adventures
Gurihiru
Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown
Saint Walker

that is quite a fitting post for a goodbye

adios - perhaps you'll return some day

[simiansyndicate]

Sir, you will be missed. I read your posts from the early days, looking forward to each new installment. I'm not sure why you're going or where you'll be, but do this one thing and all will be well...

...take care of yourself.

[dorksidefiker]

Goodbye, and good luck in your endeavors.

[halloweenjack]

Happy trails.

[leorising]

I remember you from the old days, too, and I did enjoy your posts. Thank you for the work you put into them, in order to share them with us.

Fare well.

I clicked that link hoping to get context on your leaving and not on your comic. :( I'm sure your presence will be missed.

[ar_feiniel]

I will miss your posts, but I think I understand why you are leaving. I remember this story from the original comm. Always nice to see Star Wars get some love.

[sir_mikael]

Sad to see you go. I remember you and your crazy lightsaber-through-the-eye icon from before the LJ TOSsing. Take care!

[cmdr_zoom]

Still got it, if you'd like to grab it.

[khamelea]

Ah, the Jedi Knight giving himself brain surgery!

Fare thee well.

[sir_mikael]

I'd think using it would be sacrilege, but definitely saving it so I can enjoy it and laugh whenever I feel like it.

[tavella]

And the last sane person standing leaves! Pity, that, but it's not like I click on my RSS feed for the place anymore.

[northstarfan]

You'll be missed. Take care of yourself out there; I'm sure we'll see each other around.

[icon_uk]

Happy trails cmdr_zoom, thank you for your contributions, and come back and see us again sometime, even if it's just a drive by lurk!

[proteus_lives]

Good journey Commander. I wish you didn't have to go. You and your posts were a great part of S_D.

Farewell and perhaps our paths will cross again on some distant shore.

[retro_nouveau]

Very sorry you won't be around, I've enjoyed your contributions for years.

[glprime]

Adios, amigo.

[magus_69]

Good journey. cmdr_zoom.

[angelophile]

Take care of yourself.

[cmdr_zoom]

I shall try. This is part of that.

And again, thank you.

[salad_barbarian]

Goodbye, may your travels lead you where no shadows fall.

[endis_ni]

Oh, that's sad. Goodbye, look after yourself!

[joysweeper]

Really? Aw. Well, take care. I've always enjoyed your posts and comments.

[whatistigerbalm]

Take care! <3
