A Really Good Weekend of Comics

This has been an awesome weekend with comics, lol. I can't believe how I am still pretty obsessed with comics since getting into them a little over a month ago. I got a little worried a few weeks ago when I spent a bit too much money than I probably should have but I am back to obsessing about them every day. Tonight I am going to see Suicide Squad finally. I haven't checked out the comic books yet and doubt that I will but I am curious about the movie.

Yesterday I went to the comic book store and got my biggest variety of comics to check out so far. I am still trying to find things that interest me and getting better with fine tuning what kind of stuff I am into. I really liked the issue of Incognito that I got last week and cot a few more of those. And I finally got a couple Hellboy's and really like it too.

I also finally got an issue of Paper Girls, getting their latest issue #8 and love it. I am going to have to get as many other issues that they still have on the rack when I go there Wednesday. 

And what I got from the dollar bins:
Criminal #4
Doctor Who - New Adventures With The Twelfth Doctor #10  
Hate #7
Hellboy - The Fury 2 of 3
Hellboy in Hell #5
Incognito #3
Incognito #5
Incognito #6
Patsy Walker: Hellcat 1 of 5
Patsy Walker: Hellcat 3 of 5
Lobster Johnson #4
Sleeper #9
Sleeper #10

I also had my first kind of awkward situation with the person that works at the comic book store. I've dealt with him two or three times now and he's always been cool but when I gave him the comics that I got from the dollar bin he seemed suspicious of the Lobster Johnson and looked inside to see when it came out. Not sure if he thought it was a newer issue or something that should have cost more than a dollar but he didn't really make a big deal out of it but it just made me feel uncomfortable that he was suspicious. I probably would be too of new people coming into the store and they don't really know me yet but I love this place and want to support them as much as I can. I definitely wouldn't be shady and putting something in like a dollar bin pile although I am already weirdly self conscious about shopping in the dollar bin section already because they probably do get people who maybe do that and I don't know if they go through the long boxes extensively enough to take out all the really good or more expensive stuff. So yeah, I'm always weirdly self conscious about the dollar bins, lol. And sometimes people that work there walk by me a good amount while I spend way too much time there and in the dollar bins as well. It also doesn't help that I am really shy and don't like to look at people so I probably do seem creepy and probably shady there, lol.  

Doctor Who - The Twelfth Doctor #8

I read this comic a few days ago and still on the fence about whether to check out more. I probably will but at first I wasn't sure if I liked this issue that much. The artwork is just okay and I don't really like how Capaldi is drawn. The story line fits in with what I do like about the television show and I am hoping the comic is a good replacement until the show's new season starts. In fact maybe I would like the comic even more since sometimes the show seems too long at times.

The writer does have a good feel for Capaldi's version of the Doctor though and the more I think about it, I probably will enjoy this comic more.

One thing that I hate though and it goes along with the show as well is how annoying it is that Capaldi is playing a guitar so much. It is the one thing that I absolutely loathe about this doctor and he is doing it again in this comic. It's so completely cheesy and just feels like the writers felt like because Capaldi is a bit old, that for him to connect with a younger audience, perhaps they should have him playing a guitar? One thing that I like about the Doctor, all of them is how they are a genuine, authentic person but Capaldi with a guitar is just too pathetic since it's just him posing and acting like how so many ridiculous people do when it comes to guitars. Not that you can't be old and play guitar, it's definitely not that but it just seems like a ridiculous way to be appealing to younger people it seems. It feels so old, like some really awful writers from the 80's came up with this and even when people did this back then or even now it is just completely pathetic. And yeah, the sunglasses along with the guitar is another notch added in lameness. Rant over.

Other than the guitar thing which is ruining this Doctor, I do like a lot of things about this new one and would like to check out more comics. Maybe I should check out the other Doctors in their comics, maybe it would be nice to see other varieties of the Doctor in the comic medium.

Wednesday Comics!

Another good day at the comic book store. Today I got a short box to store my comics and I added Kill or Be Killed and Tank Girl to my pull list. They are also adding the next series of Tank Girl that is starting up soon after Two Girls One Tank. The person working there is also special ordering Once Our Land #2 from another New Dimension Comics store so I will most likely be able to get that as well. He said it will probably come in a couple weeks. 

New issues that I got this week:
Wonder Woman #4 Frank Cho cover.
Doctor Who Twelfth Doctor #8

I also picked up:
The Boys #7
The Trees #2

And from the dollar bins:
B.P.R.D. The Warning #1
B.P.R.D. 1946 #5
B.P.R.D. The Ectoplasmic Man One-Shot
B.P.R.D. The Black Flame #2
B.P.R.D. The Black Goddess #2
Incognito #4

It's Almost Wednesday Comics Day!

I haven't been to the comic book store in a week. I haven't gone a whole week from going there since the first week that I started reading comics a little over a month ago. It's an addiction at this point but one that I am doing kind of well to not let it get out of hand, lol.

Comics coming out tomorrow that I am looking forward to...

Wonder Woman #4 - Continuing the story of Steve Trevor landing on Themyscira. I have been looking forward to reading more with this story line.

Doctor Who The Twelfth Doctor Year Two #8. I just found out yesterday that the newest season is not starting back this fall but sometime in the winter or spring. It sucks and I was really looking forward to it soon and love watching this show in the fall. Hopefully the comic helps with there being no new episodes but I also just hope this is a good comic worth checking out. And I like Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. There are all kinds of issues with the other Doctors at the store so hopefully there is a lot to choose from still.

Other things I want to find are some comics of the Boys, the Trees, maybe some more of B.P.R.D, and if there are still any Animosity #1's still at the store.

I also want to get a box to store my comics in. And I need to add a couple things to my pull list, Kill Or Be Killed and Tank Girl.
