New Comic Book Day

Stop it. You should have gotten out years ago, in that case. This is normal…at worst a slight variation of normal. No one bats an eye anymore.

You’re a lifer. Just like the rest us…

Maybe but the only comic I’ve bought in the past 4 months physically was the one that showed up this past week, my TFAW pre-order from over 2 years ago… Maybe I’m already out and hadn’t realized it? Maybe I should just stop signing into CHU to really be done? :wink:

You too??? Let me guess, What’s the Furthest Place from Here #1 with Record 2nd print? I pre-ordered it 2 years ago and it just now magically showed up.

Diamond is shutting down one of their warehouses - this must have been found while downsizing…

Yeah, I wish they didn’t find them. Don’t even want it now… wonder if I can get TFAW to cancel my last pre-order for issue #2 with the vinyl record… :thinking:

My magic eight ball says… Nah… it’ll be there for another 2 years probably unless they “magically” find those lying around the warehouse…

They are everywhere now. This was at a small LCS.

Yeah, I wish they didn’t find them either. I have no interest in them now and even though I love punk, I hate having to pay for something two years after I ordered them and never received them.

Change credit cards on file.

Anybody hitting up ncbd this Wednesday? I got nothing on the menu.

Meh… I’d have to provide a valid one right? Then cancel it? Sounds too tedious if so…

I’m headed in for indie titles…Moon is Following Us, Tin Can Society, Void Rivals, and Power Fantasy. Grabbing a copy of Ab WW, too.

Looking forward to Rook Exodus #6 myself…love that series. All the Ghost Machine books have given me something to look forward to now on NCBD again.

AbWW was meh. Harley Quinn is finally back to normal with the writer/artist change.

I think ABWW is quite a bit better than the Batman book.

I have Hello Darkness and Frankenstein on the pull list, but I’ll probably grab those another day. No urgent books today, unless WW suddenly goes bonkers similar to Ultimate Black Panther did. I’m not sure that will happen.

Got a Topps Jurassic Park #1. Amazing Spider-Man 380, Iron Man #1 Foil (for $4.99) and a copy of Absolute Batman #1 Cover A (to replace the one I sold today) from my honey hole store. Went to get the ashcans from NYCC but they were already promised out.

Went to the LCS (Surprise Comics) on comic book release day for the 1st time in a looong time.

Initially, I held the following:
3 different covers to Absolute WW
1:50 Torque variant Spider-Boy #12 ($35)
Cover A Spider-Boy #12
2 different covers to DC All-In Special (not cover A as they were out)

What I actually walked out with:
New 52 Justice League #3 CGC 9.6 Jim Lee Sketch cover ($50)
2 different covers to DC All-In Special (not cover A as they were out)

100% of the sketch covers in my collection are by Jim Lee and Michael Turner so this was a nice find for me and made the visit totally worth it!

My LCS did not order high on DC All In and Ab Batman - not sure they even went for the 1:25 on either title - and they ordered even fewer shelf copies of Ab WW. I went at lunch and they were already down to 4 Jim Lee foils and 2 logo foils.

I bought one Lee - I’m not expecting a lot of heat, but you never know. The preview looked good and Lee is usually a safe bet.
