Months ago, I got the idea "huh, I wonder if I could make a pull request for the physical book at my local comic shop and pick it up when it gets here" and lo and behold, that was a thing I could do.
So I did. And then practically forgot about it until today when I got a call letting me know my copy of Lancer was here.
Turns out my comic shop ordered 2 copies. One was my pull request. The other went to an employee, who happened to be the person who rang me up.
Score one for the local comic shops, those places are great.
