Pretty much what the price was for Ice Cream Man, $30 in store, they have had it for a while I was just waiting for a sale and a hope that no one else would pick it up, with the discount it came to $7.50 which I was more than happy to pay

Picked this up today at an LCS. It’s really clean, maybe a 9.6 after press n clean. Paid $140 US. Im not a TMNT guy, at all. But picked this up because of the condition. 1st April O’Neal, and 2nd Turtles et al.

Really good buy you made. I think a lot of 2nd appearances are very undervalued. Not about TMNT but I had a Daredevil #2 CGC 6.0 2nd app of Daredevil that I probably sold for too low

Was happy to grab it at such a good price.
Now I’m done, not going back to the LCS haha, I’ve now completed the incentive run for Thor #1-8 so happy about that. Thor #7 1:25 was $2 after discount

LCS had 15% off Black Friday/Small Business Saturday sale. Grabbed these books…need to go back for a few more but been spending a lot lately but not selling a lot.
Love me some good Boba Fett books. Blood Ties #2 is Boba’s daughter 1st app. Was thrilled to find it in NM+ Or better shape.

Here’s my Thanksgiving haul. Nothing too crazy. My shops had good sales, but there isn’t a huge influx of new stuff so I tend to look for newer spec. I was very happy to grab the What If though. Absolute beautiful copy and it ended up being $75. All told, I spent $150 for everything. The What if can fetch that alone on a good day.

I’ve enjoyed the first three issues of, “Stillwater,” but am not sure where exactly it is going.
Some of these indie books suffer from inconsistency. Autumnal 1 was good, but 2 was a waste of paper. We Only Find them When They’re Dead 1 was good, 2 was a mess, but 3 was solid. Seems like they all have a good idea, but the execution of the idea is where they fail.
Yeah, a lot of them seem like they may have gotten going based on the initial idea/pitch, but there wasn’t a lot of planning beyond that point. Or in some cases with some indie titles it seems like creators are planning the longer plot of everything as if it’s a guaranteed year+ long series and forgetting that indie titles need to keep peoples’ attention issue to issue until they become established.

It’s Lost-syndrome. Great idea for an overall story, have it all planned out on how to start and grab peeople’s attention, and then just winging it in the middle.

There’s a lot of creators who yes, come up with a great story but only have the beginning… they never thought out the middle and end of the story. Some probably just like pushing number 1’s when they need to pay the bills as well… then just move on to the next idea.
This is where Brian K Vaughn is a master writer as an indie creator. He seems to have the full story thought out from beginning to end and tries to focus on 1 project at a time instead of trying to juggle many stories at once.

I am liking It Eats What Feeds It so far, but it feels like a 10 book story that they are cramming into 4.
I thought it ended with issue 3. It has been good though
