Monthly Comic Book Run!
Saturday, September 3
Here's something else I'll be posting, every time I make a run for comics. A posting of my trips to collect my stash. This month, twenty-two comics (20 DC Comics, 1 Marvel, and 1 Image), a Wizard Magazine, and two hat boxes.
I took a friend who wanted to join me 'the next time I went to get comics'. I obliged. So Wednesday after work, it was off to Lawrence we went. Considering how much a single issue costs today, I spent quite the pretty penny on my collection. Some of the shipping dates got a bit screwy and so I got two issues of both Batman and Green Lantern, and something like that will happen again next month, so that added a bit to it.
Usually I don't get that many in a month, but I've been sucked into this marketing thing DC has come up with, milking this count down to it's mega event 'Infinite Crisis'. Like most of what DC has down in the past, it's a 50/50 good and bad ratio. They'll build it up, throw in stupid stories, something dumb will happen, and then they'll do something for me to really like it again, and the cycle starts anew.
My other 'non' DC books included Marvel's New Avengers #9 and Image's Invincible #25. I started reading Invincible about two years ago when I picked up the first five books of its run at a local convention. Ever since then I've been hooked on a teen superhero book with a fresh continuity. Future plans as reported by Variety is that Paramount Pictures has bought film rights. Look forward to that one... whenever production starts.
