More Comics This Week

This has been a good week for comics. Wednesday I went to the lcs to pick up some new comics, saw that they had like ten new long boxes in the dollar bin section which was awesome. I like that I am stalking this place enough that I can tell when they get new stuff in the dollar bin section. They had some Dark Horse Presents comics too which I'm glad I am able to finally see what those are like. New issues of them sell for $5 which is a bit too much and older issues sell for $8 which is ridiculous. $5 or more comics will be the one's that I will just wait for when they of course make it to the dollar bin.

What I got Wednesday:

New Issues:
Black Hammer #3 which was another excellent issue of Black Hammer. This is by far my favorite comic to be following.
B.P.R.D. Hell On Earth #145
Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. 1954: Black Sun #1 (of 2)

Dollar Bin:
Baltimore: The Play 
Deadly Class #3
Deadly Class #5
Deadly Class #6
Dark Horse Presents #5
Dark Horse Presents #31
Dark Horse Presents #36 

Saturday Dollar Bin Comics:
God is Dead #8 Finally get to see what this comic is like.
B.P.R.D. Killing Ground #5
Doom Patrol #52 92'
Frankenstein Underground #2
Frankenstein Underground #3
Stray Bullets #2  
Stray Bullets #41
From Hell: Vol. 3

At the Comic Shop Saturday

I stopped at the lcs yesterday and got some good things. There were a lot of people there which was surprising. They had some type of card game going but there were lots of people looking through comics which was surprising.

New Releases:
Glitterbomb #1 which was really good. I am glad I picked this up after hearing about it from others. It will probably end up on my pull list if #2 is good.

Dollar Bin:
B.P.R.D. Garden of Souls #3
B.P.R.D. Garden of Souls #4
B.P.R.D. Garden of Souls #5 

I also bought my first trade book. Black Science #1. I really liked the one later issue of Black Science that I read and so happy to get the first volume and start at the beginning. I've been spending a lot more time going through the books section but it's so hard to choose a whole book of something because I'm still new with finding series to follow and most of them are maybe newer things. Also, I really like floppies. 

Saturday Comics Day

Saturdays are the best day to spend with comics and being obsessed with them, lol. I went to the comic book store today, and they, New Dimension Comics has a new podcast episode up if you want to listen to it at http://ndcomics.com/podcast/ They talk about the newest comics that they are into and about the Suicide Squad movie. At the store, it was Free Graphic Novel day so I was able to pick one from the table. It was odd, really late in the day and there were still a lot of free books on the table. It's sad that more people are not going to this comic book store because it's so great. I got Incorruptible Vol. 2 by Mark Waid and Horacio Domingues.

And I got some good comics I think today.

New-ish Issues:
Tomboy #4. I've been wanting to check out this comic and finally did today.
Plutona #5. I am really getting into Jeff Lemire's work and wanted to see what this comic is about.

Dollar Bins:
Mildly Microwaved Pre-Pubescent Kung-Fu Gophers #1 The title is just hilarious and is probably a funny, loopy comic. Hopefully there is more than just one issue of this if it's good.

Doom Patrol #1 2001
Smax #4 I liked the few comics I read of Top Ten and curious about this since it's about one of the characters from that getting their own comic.
Moon Knight #1 2011
Moon Knight #2 2011
The Dreaming #54 The cover of this made me want to check it out. Creepy mouth eyes!
Promethea #15
Promethea #16

I am listening to Fatman on Batman #36 tonight where Kevin Smith is talking to Jim Lee and it is so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_YGfp2oid8

I am also loving the book Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud. Everyone should read this book, even if you are not into comic books it is so freaking intriguing and makes you look at a lot of things different. 

New Comics Today

I haven't been posting as much here lately. Usually I write about something once a day but this week has been kind of exhausting. Also, I love the comic books section on Reddit. I spend most of my time posting on there lately. It's the best place to talk about comics, find out about anything news-wise, way better than any websites that are supposedly devoted to that kind of thing, and there are all kinds of interesting discussions going on there. I have a link on the left with comic sites if you haven't checked it out yet.

I also stopped at the comic book store today. I am starting to get the impression that they don't like me, they are definitely not that friendly to me but I get that a lot around here. When I first walked in today, I heard some weird whispering right as I walked by a couple workers which was odd. I usually keep to myself though and maybe they think I am kind of creepy. I also added a few more to my pull list, Paper Girls, Hellboy, and B.P.R.D. Last week they said if I added three more I would be able to get a 10% discount and I was planning on adding those anyway but they said this week that I need to add three more to get the discount, lol. I didn't think I needed just three more because they said you need fifteen on your pull list for the discount and before the three that I added today I only had ten on my list. I'm starting to get bad vibes from this place, lol.  

With the comics that I got today, I picked up Moon Knight #2 third printing. They also still had Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. 1953 #1 so I got that. I was also able to find some good copies of Deadly Class, Black Science, and Trillium in the dollar bins.

From the dollar bins:
Deadly Class #1 1987
Black Science #13
Trillium #1 I've been wanting to find more sci-fi stuff and someone recommended this and it's from Jeff Lemire.
Trillium #2 

New Comics Wednesday

Another nice day at my local comic shop. I've been reading a lot of good things about Moon Knight and wanted to check it out so I was able to get #1 of the most recent series and found a couple back issues in the dollar bins. Hopefully it's good. And supposedly I have a pull list but every week there is something not in it.

What I got today:
Wonder Woman #5 Frank Cho Variant
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #11
Tank Girl - Two Girls One Tank #4
Hellboy in Hell #10 
Moon Knight #1 If I had known they were charging $5 for this I wouldn't have picked it up.

Dollar Bins:
Moon Knight #12
Moon Knight #14

New Comics Today

I just got home from the comic book store. It's really difficult not stopping by on Saturdays. I am still looking for more comics to get into which is still kind of difficult a bit.

I got Sex Criminals #15. I had been curious about this and read great things but hadn't picked anything up until now. Hopefully it's good.

And I have been enjoying a lot of B.P.R.D. this week. I also like that there is a good amount of this in the dollar bins. I've been curious about checking out the Abe Sapian series but haven't yet.

Dollar Bins:
The Manhattan Projects #14 Curious about this comic.
The Manhattan Projects #15
B.P.R.D. #3 The Black Goddess
B.P.R.D. #4 The Black Goddess
B.P.R.D. #5 The Black Goddess
East of West - The World. I've been wondering about this comic too and found this here so I thought it was worth a dollar to check out.

Wednesday Comics

I got most of what I was wanting to get. I was hoping to find a cheap issue of Pretty Deadly because I haven't checked that comic out yet but other than that it was a good comics day. The person working at the store said if I add three more to my pull list I will be getting 10% off of everything for now on. Most likely next week I will be adding Paper Girls, Descender, and Briggs Land. And I wonder if t his store is going out of business at some point. I rarely ever see anyone in there on Wednesdays or Saturdays when I'm there. That and how they order tons of new issues every week. It's a part of a pretty big chain and they seem to know how to operate comics shops though so hopefully there are no problems with that. I love this place though. If I wasn't so awkward and shy I would ask if I could work there part-time or even volunteer, lol.

New issues:
Black Hammer #2
Briggs Land #1
Descender #14

Other stuff:
Paper Girls #2
Paper Girls #7

Dollar Bin:
Criminal #2
Hate Annual #2  
Lobster Johnson #1 of 5 The Burning Hand. I still want to check more of this out, the back issue I got last week was okay but I hope it's better than that one issue.
Mind MGMT #8
 

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.  

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

Comics I Got Today

Today was a good comics day. I spent a good amount of time in the dollar bins. I was hoping to find some of the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Tank Girl specifically among whatever else but couldn't find any of those. One thing that was weird also was that they had no Tank Girl in the alphabetized section. Strange.

What I got today:
Tank Girl: Two Girls One Tank #1. Surprised they still had this since it came out in June and it was the only copy. They didn't have any other issues. I don't know if it comes out monthly or what.
Bitch Planet #4

In the dollar bins:
Convergence: Wonder Woman #1
B.P.R.D. #1. Still looking for new comics and thought I would check these one's out.
B.P.R.D. #2
B.P.R.D. #3
Spiral Zone #1. This was a random find for sure. I used to love this cartoon when I was little and surprised there was a comic about it. It was a really dark cartoon I noticed recently when I tried to find episodes online and it is odd that it was actually for children.

Saturday Comics Day/Not at Comic Con Day

I just got back from the Not at Comic Con thing at New Dimensions and it was definitely a good comic book day. You couldn't really tell that it was an event really since there were not that many people other than a few kids at a table learning to draw comics. I spent way more money than I was planning on spending but I am definitely happy with what I got. I also got some bags and backing boards. And I definitely took advantage of the dollar bins being $0.50 only today.

I also set up a pull list and asked about the Once Our Land #1 order from the other day and they looked it up and it is coming in from another New Dimensions location which is too good. I also got a bunch more new issues of things that I didn't pick up Wednesday. I am still in the beginning stages of collecting comics and exploring a lot to find what I like particularly but this is probably my last day of spending too much money all at once like this. Last night I read the couple of Saga issues that I got Wednesday, #33 & #36 and wasn't  really impressed with them. #33 was probably not the first issue to check out the series perhaps. One thing that I really like with this store and with living in this area though is that with the newest issues, they still have #1's and other issues going back months because not many people are interested it seems


What I got today:
Bitch Planet #6
Bitch Planet #7

I Just Started Getting into Comic Books Last Week.

Lately I’ve been thinking more about comic books and just the medium in general. There are some aspects that I dislike about them and those things kind of put me off from exploring them before in the past but there are so many varieties to choose from that I knew I would find something of interest. And since I never really checked them out before, it’s definitely a whole new interesting medium to explore and there is just so much which is awesome.


I’ve been curious about Wonder Woman and some other characters and reading more about them, the more I wanted to get some copies. Last week I went to the local comic bookstore, I’ve stopped by once or twice before in the past but just looked around but never picking anything up. Last week I went and got seven Wonder Woman comics.

I started reading them before going to sleep at night and it’s now one of my favorite parts of the day. And I am now reading them at other times too and they are just too freaking awesome in so many ways. I am already noticing that they do bring me just a weird joy, even when I am not reading them but just thinking about them. I love all the different drawing styles over the years and just all the different ways that scenes are depicted. All the variety of ways that particular moments are drawn. All the colors, especially with the styles in recent years. They seem to already be affecting my own thoughts about stories of my own and even with giving me really good ideas with directing plays.
And Wonder Woman is too good. A person with awesome integrity and just such an interesting character.

What I got last week:

Wonder Woman #11 Dec. 87
Wonder Woman #26 Jan. 89
Wonder Woman #34 Sep. 89
Wonder Woman #38 Jan. 90
Wonder Woman #76 Jul. 93
Wonder Woman #223 Jan. 06
Wonder Woman #36 Nov. 09
