Today I got: Comics thread!

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 8:23 pm

The first 3 appearances of the Teen Titans? When I left for South Carolina last week on Tuesday we did, but I just got back tonight and have no idea if we still do. I may run in tomorrow, or Wednesday and I can let you know then. Or if you want you can post directly to the FB page and he'll respond to you.

In Florence, SC I stopped in the only comic shop and picked up a few things:

Uncanny X-Men #48 -not bad, one minor tear on the cover along the spine, other than that it's really good.

Squadron Supreme 1-12: Original miniseries that I've always wanted to read, all bundled together for a decent price.

JLA: Scary Monsters 1-6

JLA: Classified 16-21: Gail Simone's Hypothetical Woman storyline for the girlfriend, though I'll read them too.

And while talking to the owner, I found out that apparently Jonathan Hickman lives in Florence, SC and shops there. While he doesn't do official signings, he does sign books and the owner then sells them at cover price since he's a costumer. I looked at the books and figured why not, I can always look them up later to verify as he wasn't charging me 20 extra for them. So I bought:

Fantastic Four 588 signed by Hickman
FF 2nd Printing Variant Cover signed by Hickman (the one recreating the Fantastic Four 1 image)
And he tossed in FF 5 signed by Hickman as well for talking to him for awhile and the like. When I got back to the hotel I looked things up and Hickman is from SC, and at least has a personal PO box set up in Florence, so it seemed legitimate, and I looked at his signature on a few other books and they're nearly identical. If they are they are, if not oh well. I'm only out about $6, which was less than 10% of what I spent in this guys shop. Not a bad deal.

I was actually wondering if you yourself have the first 3 appearances, out of curiosity.

Incognegro by Mat Johnson and Warren Pleece.

Vertigo OGN that was on sale at Paris Comic Con.

Ah, no I don't. I was partially interested in their first appearance, but overall not as much as I am in finding issues of books I actually need, like Uncanny. It'd be fun to own, but it's not high on my list of books to find just yet.

Finaly got my package from mycomicshop.com, I had given the wrong zip code.

American Splendor #3
Assassin's Creed: The Fall #3
Astro City: A visitor's guide
Daredevil Yellow #2-3
Deadenders #15
Flinch #1
Doc Savage #10
X-Force #124
Ultimate Captain America #3
Tales of the Vampires #1
Superman Adventures #57
Strange Tales II #3
The Omac Project
JSA All-Stars #3

Some my comics shop couldn't get though I had them on my pull list, some because I missed them from runs I got at NYCC and some cause I went on a Cameron Stewart and Darwyn Cooke completists buying spree.

Quite happy with the service of this website, I shall definitely use it again. Thanks Cameron for the recommendation.

I'm happy you liked dealing with them.

Their shipping isn' the cheapest, but the prices and selections are great. I love them for filling in the missing gaps. Best site on the internet for buying comics, that I have ever found.

Although, http://www.dougcomicworld.com is great, if you can stand the site.

Uncanny X-Men #95 The Death of Thunderbird

He put it up today while I was working for 40% off for 30 minutes. I jumped on it as soon as about 25 minutes had gone by and no one said a thing about it.

My 'under #100' group of Uncanny X-Men books has slowly begun to grow, which I never really thought it would.

I know the feeling. You're about the same age now I was when I started to try and complete Uncanny X-Men.

It's strange to see it grow, but fun!

Very much so. I basically filled half of what I needed at the grand opening of this store, and figured I'd never get most of the pre-Giant Size/Under 100 books, but that's all I find now. I'm probably somewhere closer to only needing 100 issues of Uncanny to complete the run, if not around 115 books total. When I move in a month or so and get my collection together, I'm really eager to go through and find out exactly what it is again that I don't have.

How many of the 1-35 range do you have?

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 11:22 pm

Just 1 or 2 I think. I only have 5 or 6 books under 100, and they're kind of spread out.

Very nice on the Daredevil. What kind of condition is it in?

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:30 pm

3.5 or 4, so not bad.

No rips, nothing missing, no water damage. Just an old worn comic.

Buffy Season 8 TPB 1-8 (whole collection)
Buffy Season 8 The Motion Comic (too bad I don't have a Blu-Ray player, at least it includes a DVD disc; this is my first Blu-Ray, and I think it's appropriate enough, huh?)

I thought you had the whole Buffy Season 8 in singles didn't you?

jedispyder · Post by **jedispyder** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 2:09 am

I have them in singles and in downloads. I also like them in TPB, and motion form. If they come out in novel form, I'll likely get them that way as well
