I was jokingā¦being sarcastic.
The drama is short livedā¦the stories are what keeps books relevant.

Smileyās or wink emojiās at the end make a huge difference on joking or sarcasm, I have a hard time reading just texts and intentions at times.
But my comment still stands I think on a general level, Iām sure a lot of collectors feed off the BS drama instead of the basics that make comics great.

Saw a guy at my lcs, never saw him before, he walked in and grabbed half the stack of Nectar. He was trying to buy them early. They limited him to one and told him he can pick it up tomorrow.

Smh. I was able to buy mine today. I had an extra copy of Dorc and saw somebody needed a copy and gave mine to him. As I checked out another guy said that was nice and handed me a second copy of Dorc. Only got one copy of nectar. Two of narco. No dc.
Undercutters arrived early to eBay this week. It might actually help drive momentum if the cheap copies get out of the way early.
On the other hand, if tomorrow the undercutters undercut undercuttersā¦

FYI Batman 7 is the best Joker story I have read in a long time. SOOOOOO good. Creepy in execution.

I feel like thereās a new Joker story every couple days! If it does something new and creepy Iām down for it though. I donāt need yet another origin story. I like it more as a mystery or going with the Alan Moore version!

Makes you wonder where these people are the other 50 weeks out of the yearā¦lacking morals or etiquette, I highly
Doubt theyāre are readers or collectorsā¦and just happened to think nothing of clearing an LCS shelf like itās a Walmart.
It was a dick move, this is the second time in three weeks I have seen people in LCSās trying to clean them out. Havenāt seen this in a long time. Comics are back!

So how did that work? They take his name, number and create a pull list for him? Wonder if heāll be back.
He paid, they placed it in a bag, put them in the holds box, told him he could come back tomorrow and get it
But meanwhile.
I got two copies of Nectar 1 (swapped out the one with the bad spine) a back bag Nectar, and a Foil Nectar. 3 copies of DāOrc #1 2nd print, and two copies of Narco for myself. Listing them tonight.

List at 11:50 so they sell on 3/4.
Also, hope the spine dented copy went to the shelf clearing dude.
I put it on the front of the stack. He pulled the back half I believe.
Not sure where to put this one. Picked it up for $8.
Vertigo Mad Max Fury Road Prequel TPB. Out of print. If you see it grab them. Sold mine for $40 pretty quickly.

I could never in a million years walk into a shop and do that on release day. Some people.
I really think the very best system is the 1 per customer. I do believe if you have it on your pull & make an effort to go there, you should be able to grab another also.

The LCS here does a 1 per customer on very hot books (Nectar and Dāorc this week) and they donāt seem to allow random people calling in to hold these books. As far as I can tell if you have subscriptions with them they will put a single in your pull box otherwise you will have to get there at opening like everyone else. Iām dreading how packed it is going to be this morning.

If I have a hot book in my pull box, Iāll grab an extra off the shelf, but thatās the only time Iāll check out multiples of a new book at a shop.
Back in the Newsstand days, though. Iād clean out a CVS or Barnes and Noble with no hesitation. The New 52 Death of the Family era was good times for that.
