I admit, I dropped out of GL and GLC after Lights Out. New Guardians has been okay to good and I love me some Kyle. Red Lanterns has been pretty good.

So I got Marvel unlimited. The no HD kind of sucks but man am I overwhelmed with great stuff to read. Starting with NOVA right after Annhilation Conquest ended. So much great stuff to read! I especially excited about eating up Cosmic Marvel. I'm a huge fan of Marvel Heroes and I want all these guys playable!

Yeah, I tried the Green Lantern books when the reboot happened, but I just couldn't get into them. But then, I'd been reading the Geoff Johns run since it started at that point. It was probably just Green Lantern fatigue. Though I really have no desire to start reading that series again.
Exciting times ahead! The new creative team seems to line up more or less with the time-frame that Selina is supposed to start her move into the Kingpin of Gotham role in Batman Eternal. Looking forward to seeing what happens with the story, now.
That's..... strange.
I just wanted to let the rest of ComicGAF know that there is an exclusive Loot Crate Variant of Rocket Raccoon #1 in this month's loot crate.
Now, I'm not so sure that it is Gamestop-Variant levels of exclusive, but it's pretty damn close.
At the very least, a year or so from now a mint copy can help you out with half the cost of a new pair of tires.

Were the Gamestop exclusives really that hard to get? I grabbed two copies each of the Star Wars #1 and ASM #1.

I think at this point I am going to be the Messi equivalent for Klarion The Witch Boy....
Oh yes. They sell out super fast. They tend to go for $50+ On a bad day.

I've never read Seven Soldiers. I'm going to remedy that when I put in an IST order later today. I was going to wait until Seconds comes out this week, but I'm going to buy that from my local Barnes & Noble, since they already have their copies to sell on Tuesday, and I NEED IT NAO.

I'm pretty sure that there was an article around somewhere that said that lootcrate was responsible for like 150,000+ of those orders.
I wish I could preemptively throw it in the garbage. Hype smashed.

If you're gonna start Guardians of the Galaxy then save The Thanos Imperative for last. It works as a standalone story but it is definitely a conclusion for Cosmic Marvel by that particular creative team.

I might check it out, but that preview didn't really grab me.
"that was weird" was my initial reaction.

Just try the first few issues of volume 1. If you don't like it, I hate you and you suck
Start with the beginning of Ostrander's run and skip the rest.
The rest meaning anything not by Ostrander

No one talking about Spider-Man 2099 this week? #1 was a solid, if expected issue. I really liked both the original 2099 series, as well as his appearance in Superior Spider-Man so hopefully this series ends up being more than a gimmick.

Oh god I need it.
Can someone tell me the price? My shitfuck phone just displays gibberish instead of prices on that site.

$130. I'm banned from Arkham Harley merch.
$130 and it says it's pre sold out.
Superior Foes of Spider-Man vol 1 was the best thing i've read in awhile, the only drawback were all the pop-culturey references, didn't seem like it fit with Boomerang that well, and my paperback's cover and back cover curled. I loved Lieber on art and the expressions he gave characters. Not so random: 9/10.

Ah, that blows. Thanks, though.
I visited one of those American comic shops today. You fuckers are spoilt.
Got myself issue 33 of Y the last man for $2.99 mint. Really loved the cover when I seen it a few months back.
Also bought some harley variants and I seen the Harley premium format. Fuck. That statue is impressive in size and quality.

At least over in Ireland you get to wear Corduroys year round. I only get to wear them in the fall and winter.

Did you just "check your comic privilege" us, Messi?
At least in New York you get falls and winters. California forgot about fall and winter this year/last year.
Absolutely. I could have spent hours more in their. Boxes and boxes of stuff. All fairly decently priced. New books and variants aplenty. We don't get that shit. When we do its stupidly expensive.
I also got the final issue of Amanda Conners Pee Gee.
Fuck Corduroys
As a life long New Yorker; Fall is amazing, winter can kiss my ass. I want to join Cali GAF asap.

Truly, there are no cats in America.
Does that mean you have the whole Amanda Conners run in singles now?
Nah son. North West GAF is superior GAF.
As a consolation prize I would accept Seattle or Portland.

To be fair, Orlando surprisingly has a large amount of fairly awesome comic book shops. Not all of them are like that. The one closest to me has about 3 boxes of old comics and like 5 statues, and just new stuff.
NJ all my life, and I so desperately want to join Cali-gaf. San Diego is a paradise on Earth.
North or South? South is badass. North is NYC Jr.
Yeah to pee gee. Just missing the Terra mini now.

The trade is out of print too, no? I can't imagine tracking down single issues of that is going to be easy.

TX-gaf checking in, only bad thing about my shops is they don't offer many discounts. My main LCS sale their back issues by bumping up the cover price a dollar. At least we occasionally get guest artist and stuff.
Also the weather sucks
Also the weather sucks
I can agree with that.
Just visited Seattle for I think the third time a few months back. I love Washington. The weather is pretty reasonable for being quite far north and it's just so green up there. The culture in Seattle (and other places around Washington from what I've seen) is really great, too.
San Diego undoubtedly has some of the best weather year-round of anywhere. It's just the wrong place for me. Haha. I'm frugal, like colder weather, love nature, and don't like the beach. San Diego is expensive, tends to be hotter (though the weather is my favorite part about SD by far), is just endless suburbs with no nature, and is famous for the beaches. If I can find a job elsewhere, I'm gonna try to move somewhere new.
Grass is always greener, eh?
You basically want to live in central New York, only the prices here may make you reconsider that.
Coincidentally, just a day or two ago, one of my friends posted some photos on Facebook of her trip to Ithaca and I thought to myself "I could live there." Haha
That would drive me nuts. There isn't a whole lot to do there. I like living right smack dab in the middle. We get what you're looking for, hit all the major upstate attractions within a 30 mile radius in all directions, and we just hop on amtrak for an hour and a half and we're in NYC. It's pretty perfect, but the weather is driving me away.
That does sound like the best of both worlds.
I really want to live somewhere quiet though. Probably not in the middle of nowhere, but still somewhere quiet.
Especially ever since my neighbor (whose house is within 10 feet of my bedroom window) started renting his place as a vacation rental. Which means people on vacation every single weekend. And they always hang out on the patio and talk very loudly late into the night. And I have to try to get to sleep at 7:30pm or 8:30pm depending on which morning shift I'm working.
It's fun times.
With that said though, it's time for me to get to sleep. It's almost getting to be 7:30pm. Haha. Don't ask me why I need to be at work at 4am on a Sunday though, because I'm clueless.
Also, apologies to everyone for going way off topic.

I think the place to go if you're looking to live cheap these days is either Maine or North Carolina.

I'm always so happy to see other people trying this book, it really is a great series.
I like where I live in South Florida. I literally live right up the street from two comic shops and one of them is amazing. I've only ever been to one other shop when I was visiting one of my friends who lives in the desert in California... It made me so sad
there was so little there- Status
