DH News for the week of 2/2/2026
Happy Groundhog Day! Whether or not that famous weather-forecasting rodent saw his shadow this morning, the calendar doesn't lie: we are officially at the halfway point of winter. For our friends on the East Coast, we hope you’ve already weathered the worst of the season and that clearer skies are on the horizon. Out here in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve had an unusually dry stretch; and while we certainly don't miss shoveling the driveway, we’re all crossing our fingers for a few more heavy dustings in the mountains to bolster the snowpack before spring arrives.
But enough about the forecast—let’s talk about something much brighter! To celebrate the midpoint of the season, we’re offering an exclusive 10% discount for our loyal newsletter readers. Use the code GROUNDHOG26 on any single purchase during the next week to save on your favorite comics, cards, games and collectibles.
