“What the hell is that?” The comic flew up, out of his hands.
“Warren,” Jonathan whined, “give it back. That's a first issue.”
“A first issue of crap,” Warren said, rifling through the pages none too gently.
Andrew, reading over Warren's shoulder, asked, “Who's that supposed to be anyway?”
“Cerebus the Aardvark.”
“Oh, cool,” Andrew said. “I heard about this. It's like totally supposed to be this awesome parody of Conan.”
“Cerebus the dork is more like it.”
“Oh, um, yeah,” Andrew said. “The only cool animal comic is Howard the Duck.” Warren gave him a look. “What? He's got a hot girlfriend.” Andrew looked around nervously.
“Whatever,” Warren added, tossing the comic into the air. “I don't have time for this. I'll be working on the freeze ray.”
Jonathan's hands, laid out flat, caught the comic before it could hit the ground.
As Jonathan carefully dropped the comic on a table and brushed one hand over the crinkles, Andrew gave it an interested look until Warren called out, “Are you coming?”
Jonathan gave a couple of furtive glances around the room before skimming through to the end of the comic. Then he very carefully put it back into the plastic and hid it in his backpack, between two large tomes so it wouldn't get creased.

It amazes me that those three ever tried to take over the world with Meltdown near by. Or... any comic shop at all, really.
