This is the week that our comics cuts really take effect and suffice it to say, I have one comic that I am buying this week! It is Boys #26 from Dynamite Entertainment. What is ironic to me is that even if I had not cut back, I would still only be getting five books this week.
The other ones I would have picked up are:
Detective Comics #852
Secret Six #5
Trinity #32
Sword #14
This actually makes me feel quite a bit better. I figured I would go through horrible withdrawals, but it doesn't seem to be nearly as bad as I had anticipated.
On that note, many thanks to you folks who have shared that you have cut way back or discontinued collecting. It made me feel a bit better, and it made me sad at the same time. Is it the economy, the price of comics, or a bit of both? I feel a rant coming on!
Have a great night and I will see you back here soon!
I need to cut back even more I think...
ReplyDeletebut then what would I blog about... hehehe
I cut back-- 15 years ago when they were still cheap...
ReplyDeleteHey there, my metal sister--
--the good news is that I just heard "Blind in Texas" by W.A.S.P. on Hair Nation today! ;)
Swinebread, I agree. I am terrified that if I don't read comics anymore, my blog will be obsolete. Calling it Comics Fairplay kinda pigeon holed me. LOL!
ReplyDeleteKirk, you rule! I was reading old back issues the other day and marveling at the 20 cent price tag. Those were the days. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI am going to go see Buckcherry, Papa Roach, and Avenged Sevenfold in concert next month here in my little town. It is not my old school stuff, but I figured it would be fun!
