I agree but for one point. I supported a GoFundMe for someone at a comic shop I love who developed an illness. It was emphasized the money was for his medical expenses that insurance would not cover. I’d say 90% of the time he is the one who is there working hard at the shop (the other owners are more silent partners) but he had to take some time out for Chemo, recovery, etc. That is a GoFundMe I did not hesitate to support. If it were just a shop struggling, then I would definitely not support that. In the case of the shop an hour from you, I would not contribute, clearly.

That’s 100% different.
Now, if the business had something unfortunate out of their control occur (theft, flood, fire) and it was a pillar in the community and needs help to recover, I get it. But why should anyone fund this…? It’s basically up pricing new comics and begging people to pay those prices so you can keep selling them.
Either the shop is in a bad location, or they made bad business decisions. Best to put them out of their misery rather than string them along. A go fund me is not a recovery plan that fixes the underlying problem.

Did anyone hear if they are continuing these DC x Sonic later printing covers? The last one came out in July and nothing on FoC. Someone posted an image on this site a while ago with all the covers they were planning to do, but I can’t find it.

Only the three so far. They’ve all been issue 1, so unless they do another printing….
i dont think 3rd sold enough for a 4th
Probably not. Which means spec potential!!
I was helping my dad clean out his house this past weekend and we found a tube with these two sketches inside:

I finally had a chance to see, “Superman,” and quite enjoyed it!

Yeah, I enjoyed it as well. I went in with zero expectations as well, but I do that with about every movie now and honestly, it works out quite well nowadays.

It’s funny. Post SDCC I have books every day selling that were just sitting and books I just list going out the door too. Mostly on Mercari though. Been getting a lot of sales through them.
Paul Pelletier is signing for free at a local shop tomorrow.
Should I get this signed? I have it for sale currently. Not sure if the sig would help or hurt its perceived value.
He’s not a big cover artist name, but I also have to think there are very few of this book signed out there.
Thoughts?

Couldn’t hurt.
I got around to reading, “Gwenpool,” 4 of the current series. Marvel made a huge deal out of the fact they were bringing back the REAL original Gwen Stacy only to reveal she is a clone…of a clone? Lazy. Even the book have Gwenpoole calling it out as lazy with her fourth-wall-breaking doesn’t make up for how shockingly dumb it is.
I’m gonna make a blog post to go up tomorrow discussing my thoughts on this mess.
