DCBS's physical store has been having a "Ding & Dent" TPB sale every Saturday this summer, increasing percentage off every time. I went today when things were 70% off and got the following:
Legion of Monsters TPB (Marvel)
The New Teen Titans Vol 1 TPB
Avengers: The Final Threat (Epic Collection Vol 9)
X-Men X-Cutioner's Song HC
X-Men: Phalanx Covenant HC
Alias Omnibus
Saga Vol 1 HC
Buffy Season 8 Library Edition Vol 1
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales Deluxe HC
I walked away with all of that for $130. All of the TPBs and HCs may have some dings, scratches, bent corners, etc, but none of them are torn away and falling apart. They had SO many Omnibus Editions that I was tempted to buy more. May have to go up next Saturday when it's 80% off.

Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
Thought I'd revive.
By chance I went to a garage sale by my house this weekend and got..
Marvel Spotlight 5 (First Ghost Rider)
Avengers 55 (First Ultron)
Tales of Suspense 55 (1st black widows)
Marvel Two in One Annual 2
and a bunch of other silver/copper stuff for $60.
It was a very good weekend.

Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
That Avengers 55 is a great catch. What condition was it in?
Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
They are all VG/Fine. The Avengers 55 is probably F-/F
Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
Got super lucky at the flea market and got these for $80CAD.
Fantastic Four 52 - 1st Blank Panther
Luke Cage 1 - First Luke Cage
Tomb of Dracula 10 - First Blade
Going to see him again next weekend.
The luke Cage is a 2, Tomb maybe a 2.5 or 3, and the FF in a 4-4.5.
The only way I like buying those books (aka, affordable!)
These were a steal though.

The complete Essex County HC by Jeff Lemire.
So many people vouching for this one from the SA guys to Darwyn Cooke. I don't know what to expect.

Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
Yes, yes we do.
But where?!

Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
London.
And it seems likely Natascha and I will hit America end August / begin September. If that happens, I'll be eyeing cons during that period.

Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
Where about is the US?
Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
Washington for sure. After that, we'll see. Might be Miami, could be LA as well.

Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
I hear Emerald City Con is a pretty big deal. Just and Dragon con. What else?
Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
ECCC is fucking awesome, wrong time of the year for them though. It and Heroes Con are supposed to be the two bestr big comic cons.
It also changed ownership in the last year or two so it may change a bit.

Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
Emerald is in April, this probably will always be a wrong time for us. Heroes is in June, which is not our preferred time iether. But that could be worked.
Anyone any knowledge about Dragon Con? That seems in the right timeframe. Just as Comic Con Palm Springs.

Re: Today I got: Comics thread!
Dagon Con, by way of George Perez:
"The most notable is Dragon Con, which isn’t really a comic convention but a major party with the great majority of partygoers being exactly the people who are now being ostracized, threatened or marginalized by the new administration. It is also a show where my wife teaches belly dance classes, as she has done for close to a decade..."
I'm not sure what to make of that.

Uncanny X-Men 17, 30, 61, 87, 88, 90
What if...? Vol. 1 25, 29, 32
I'm down to about 32 issues of Uncanny left, including Giant Size, to finish my run. First time in a while I picked up any back issues.
