You probably don’t remember me from last year, but I finally was sent back the copy of Absolute Batman 1 graded from that chaos in Midtown Comics last year. Thanks, @ssnyder1835.bsky.social & @nickdragotta.bsky.social !! I can handle conventions, but NYC Midtown lines are something else for me.

Thanks @ssnyder1835.bsky.social for signing my copy of Absolute #Batman 8. It’s one of my favorite variants from your run.

Oh, you’re handling it better than my LCS. They’ve been used to “one website to distribute them all.” (Lord of the Rings joke) They’re not a fan of change. They’re waiting for distributors to make manageable because it’s harder for them since they have to assure distribution and have a master list.

#bargainbin find! George Perez homage version! 👍🏼😎 #superman

Is the shipping stuff getting difficult to keep track now that Diamond is out and it’s a free-for-all with distribution?

Dame! Ahorita! 🥹🤗😎👍🏼 @brunoredondo.bsky.social

Talk about underpaid! Teachers today have to resort to leashes with elementary school kids for liability reasons(not losing them; taking them all from one place to another). Each generation they’re making it harder for public school teachers. Don’t blame them one bit for the leashes.
