Do they take cash for preorders right away? 'Cause that's gotta be brutal if so.

No. They charge when they ship. UNLESS you pre-order a statue in the same order as comics. If so, they charge everything when they charge you for the comics.
Honestly, I've done pre-pay before with figures/statues, and I quite like it. It's something you don't have to worry about later. If it was an option, I'd probably pre-pay everything.

I MISSED YOU ALL
Did anyone read Mrs. Deadpool & The Howling Commandos? I was curious and flipped through it in the shop, but I didn't wanna spend another $4 when I already had $40 worth of books this week.

I wonder what it will feel like to read comics again?

I had a week like that back in January. I think literally every single book I was reading at the time came out in that week. The week after, I think I spent a total of $8.
After the bouldering gym I'm officially broken. Firstly, I'm still getting over a cold. Secondly, I've been climbing on a torn something or other in my finger for about a week and today it finally started to get pretty bad. Could barely even use my left hand.
And THEN I fell from the very top of the wall and landed on both of my ankles sideways and busted one of them up pretty good.
Oh, and on top of everything, Sara didn't even show up because I think she's still feeling sick.
It was a good time though
Bouldering is the best.
It really is good to have you back though, Freeza. How long were you gone anyways? It seemed like it was forever.

Injection #2 had the best fight scene this week and not a single mention in this thread.
Shalvey is such a badass at paneling action scenes perfectly.

Just sub "Kipp" in for "George" there.
1: His name is Kipp
2: He boulders, an obscure activity only someone named Kipp would do
3: He meets a girl who also boulders at his bouldering hangout
4: He wants to get a job where she works at a frozen yogurt place ( i think i'm up to date on kipp continuity)
So, as a casual observer and a person who reads comic, I ask that you guys look at the evidence and decide whether or not Kipp is a real person or if, what i believe to be true, is working out sitcom ideas on us and seeing what we are receptive to.

I now have a reason to post some more in this thread. Cuz you make it fun!
Nah, but for reals I'm having a real shitty past few months. Glad you're back.

I am now forever disappointed whenever I read a trade without a Birdie quote on it.
now I'm even more confused
I don't even know how far we took this. I wasn't even part of that discussion.

Starfire is the truth. So much fun.

Will lose it if they do.

I'm doing a re-read of Gillen's Young Avengers since I found out he does writers notes (here's the first issue's). It's really cool. It's like a director's commentary for a comic book. Also, he puts of a lot of work into them, which is a cool thing for a fan. The thought that goes into even the smallest detail makes me realize that I'm not terribly good at deep reading. I'm absolutely crap at picking up symbolism and visual motifs.
Lol
Shouldn't be too bad though. I have a feeling I'll be back to 90% by Monday. Well, depending on how much worse my ankle gets overnight, as these things tend to do. Right now I've got a pretty miserable limp, but I can at least put pressure on my ankle at certain angles and can rotate it a bit.
And also, I had sent bouldering girl a Facebook message when I got home asking her if she still wasn't feeling well since she didn't show up like she usually does, but she didn't see it. But she decided to text me and tell me she was bummed that she couldn't make it because she had a horrible fever. And now we're texting back and forth. So it's still a victory. Haha
Long story short, this is still the Summer of Kipp!
All true except for the fact that she works at the frozen yogurt place I'm trying to get a job at. It's actually my neighbor who owns the frozen yogurt place and wants to hire me as the manager.
However, bouldering girl did work at a frozen yogurt place once and loves frozen yogurt. I swear it's a coincidence and I'm not just trying to get a frozen yogurt job to impress her. Haha
Also, lol
Hahaha
It's easy money.
I pre-ordered both
I've had thoughts of doing the same thing :\

Sorrentino is magical. Everybody go check out his Green Arrow run with Jeff Lemire (and ignore Lemire's Hawkeye entirely)!

Sorrentino made that run. Lemire's writing was serviceable, but not much more.

I did. Only because I'd already ordered the B&W Batgirl statue when DC decided to go "HEY LOOK, HERE'S A 12" VERSION IN PURTY COLOURS!"
But really, a foot-tall hipster Batgirl? I couldn't say no to that.
Is Black Canary in it? Because that's about the only thing that could get me to read a Green Arrow comic.
I've never read a Green Arrow comic. For reals

He gave me a reason to give a shit about Ollie in the New52. That's good enough for me!

Nope, but he did give Ollie a large family to care about, and there was some hijinx. Kind of. I'm lying. Buy it, damn it.
I think that Thor is a Korbinite. So yeah, an alien.

Lol, fair 'nuff. I was just disappointed in how the Outsider clans were handled; such a cool concept, but such a lackluster execution.
Aside from the art, again.
Emiko was pretty great, though, hope we see more of her at some point. (I have not actually read any New 52 GA material other than Sorrentino's run.)

Is it a good place to pick up the character? As I said, I've never read Arrow before. Also, is he cooler than Hawkeye?
Marvel. Truly the house of ideas.
