THe people who work there are great, you can browse, read, ask questions. They have great art books and pop culture stuff. I just love the atmosphere there. Not like other shops.

It's nice that you'll be going outside. That is if you don't order them off of Amazon or whatever.

To each his own. While I'm not a purveyor of comic books, I can respect the opinions and hobbies of others, and see, and appreciate, the artistic value of said genre. The fact that this form of entertainment has lasted as long as it has, albeit is in a moderate decline since the late 60s/early 70s, is a testament to the fans and those who receive enjoyme....

I'm sorry. I...I just can't do it.

NERDS!

I know a guy who would shiat himself for one of these.

Is this all comic book stores? I can't find anything on any of Kevin Smith's sites (his comic book shop is 40 minutes away from me).

Yes, all stores should get yellow rings based upon their orders of Doom Patrol #4. It is left up to the stores how they will distribute them. We simply give a ring for every purchase of the Doom patrol comic.

Thanks! I'll take a ride up there later--need a Sandman graphic novel, anyway.

I'm geeky enough to have the statues of Scott, Jordan, and Rayner on different sections of the globe AND a replica of the battery.

Does anyone know of a site to keep track of the current storylines in both Marvel and DC? Wizard Magazine used to have a decent site, but now all they have is hype of their conventions. Wikipedia isn't very good, either.

 
BlorfMaster 2009-11-04 11:02:02 AM  
Green lantern sucks. 'look at me, i have a magic ring that can do almost anything, but im still one of the shiattiest super heros ever'

I just called and confirmed that this is in my box at Stadium Comics in Ypsi. Huzzah!

I'm a pretty big fan of the Blackest Night story right now. A HUGE improvement over Final Crisis.

Also, at80eighty: likefunbutnot: Nothing good has ever come from DC Comics.

I used to be all Marvel, all the time. Then I realized that I wanted action and crime-fighting and whatnot and switched over to DC and some other independents.

/YMMV
//However, Dynamite's Zorro is perhaps the best book out there right now.

fb-'s grown sperm: First of the rings? My shop gave me a Black Lantern ring last week.

Those were distributed with Blackest Night #1 june-ish. So yeah technically that was the first. Its popularity through con season sparked this ring promotion.

Green Lantren, isnt his special weakness YELLLLLLOW?

How did this go green? is there a mad GL fan in the mods?


/yeh I know they retconned his weakness to be "fear" and not "yellow" but to me he will always be the lamer you can defeat with a can of paint and some imagination.

 
Wendy's Chili [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 01:57:11 PM  
This thread's busier than usual. Did someone post it to TFD first?

Anyhoo...

I just picked up:

Amazing Spider-Man #610
Assault on New Olympus
Black Widow #1
Captain America: Reborn #4 Cassaday Variant
Deathlok #1 Buckler Variant
Psylocke #1
Torch #3
and...
Dark Reign: The List: The Punisher which I missed last week.

I think I need to cut back.
