Y'all got too much money to burn. Maybe I should stop writing about video games and comics.

DCBS does chop off a good chunk if you order from them. A $150 statue will be about $104 if you pre-order.

Good luck unloading those after the movie tanks.

I do like the first one with the horse but $350 is practically a month's worth of books
Something weird going on with her face and possibly hair? in the second one
Sounds about right

Curse Words is written by Charles Soule, but it very much feels like a Browne written book. It has that same kind of humor.
Here's a short preview I found online (I have a 10 page ashcan that he and Soule are selling at cons) - http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/be-careful-what-you-wish-933870

Yes, you should be writing about video game and comic statues. That's where the money is.
I will say that the recent Suicide Squad statues were excellent, and far better than I expected. Their $100 statues are generally hit or miss, but anything that retails for $150 is where they put the effort in.
I'm STILL waiting for the BvS Wonder Woman statue that was supposed to be out in May. It's been delayed like 5 times at this point. RIP

You spend close to that month a month on comics
Let me hold a 20
I spend $30-$50 per week on comics. I'm sure Messi's bill is higher.

No.
I spend a bit more than that.
All I ever buy is singles, though. Occasionally I will grab a bunch of stuff in a sale if there is nothing in the backlog, but I don't buy collections or art or figures or whatever. All my comics budget goes to my singles.
Damn. I only pay around that price when I catch a good sale. Like last week I spent 80 but I was catching up

I assumed you were including trades in that figure, but JUST floppies? Do you pull everything?

I have been pulling 20-25 books a week lately
I think that's close to the top around here but not quite
Tragicomedy

Stellar.
I've seen your pull lists and I believe you, but damn. I usually go nuts during sales, but I average $15-20 per week. $350 covers a whole quarter for me. That equation would change a ton if I started following Marvel monthlies.

Look out, Messi. Echo comin' for that crown.

Oh I'm chasing it
Yeah I pull wayyyy too much Marvel, it's true. But for me, newly released singles are the optimal reading experience and therefore worth the premium.
For now anyway.

Can't blame you. I can afford to spend whatever on comics since it's the only thing I buy. My wife spends far more on clothes in a month than I ever do in comics. But the cheap bastard in me that plans to fully retire at 44 ends up talking me out of it.
Comics are never a stellar value proposition in terms of minute-to-dollar ratio, so MU is my baby. Getting 15-20 comics a week for under $6 sings to my thrifty soul. $1 issues on Comixology is a close second.
I...like it? I wasn't certain at first, but it comes right back. We're nearing the end now.

She is not that kind of squirrel.
There was a DC All Access panel, and a Superfamily Panel too. CBR seems to be under the impression that Tomasi is the writer of Super Sons, but nothing has been confirmed. They also showed Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders.
I think the Rebirth panel is tomorrow.
Yeah but there was nothing announced. I think the big one is Saturday.

Invincible is definitely one of my very favorite cape books of all time.

That twirling baton effect is really clever
Is Batwoman by Bennett and Tynion plus Epting not big news? It's the biggest news for me.
Freezasaurus
Member
The best news. But you should talk to her again tomorrow and advise her against vampires and outer space.
She would do it right tho. She made Batgirl a vampire recently and it was dope
They announced Standoff and Spider-Women last year.

I think SDCC is the Wrestlemania of comics. NYCC is like Summerslam.
Announcing mini-events before the actual main event is done.
