This was the last of the comics I got from my LCS that spiked. Everything else I’ve ordered FOC since has been missing from my pickups.
🤬
Tomorrow, I discover if I get Nectar or I’m dropping my LCS in favor of pre-ordering NCBD books online.

Who is my favorite character at Marvel?
It’s not Spider-man or Wolverine.
No.
It’s Kitty / Kate Pryde.
💥
Don’t engage in FOMO. Most new books drop after the first year of release. Looking for early McFarlane is a better use of funds.

After Lady Fantastic watched me open a copy Live on YouTube… I opened the book & the whole interior fell to the floor. I was horrified. What’d she do? She sent me a replacement copy! She’s one of the few people I’d do ANYTHING for.

The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.

In the 90’s, pay was disgusting. $4.25 minimum wage in high school, it was impossible to make enough to get good books. Unfortunately, by the time I was making dupe vhs copies of DBZ in college, I was just buying anime that I dumped after a divorce. Buy wisely. Buy comics.
Live & learn.

Son, I’m gonna educate them on Badrock and Bloodstrike and Brigade!

That’s genius and evil and… I don’t know if that’s what I should now do on TikTok. 😅

X-Man 1-75 ran from 1995 to 2001. Put a run together for $500 for the kids who weren’t born yet on TikTok. Maybe $1k. 🤣🤣
It’s 30 years old!
ANCIENT!!!
I hadn’t considered that implication. Always with the implications. 🤣 It will be the younger generation that keeps our books retaining value.
