Yeah, saw Stan when the crowd of townies show up a few seconds later. I knew JMS did a lot of comic stuff but I've never followed it, except when a friend loaned me the first 3-4 issues of Rising Stars. Then I watched the credits for him and he was pretty heavily involved in the project. Was still a real "huh?" moment…
