When was the last time you went to a comic book store?

I went last weekend, because I've gotten back into collecting Walking Dead trades. I ended up talking to the owner about Snow White, contrails, the Switch 2, and Dawn of the Dead.

With my siblings in January/February but it was more because we were doing something else and while they were busy buying Glasses I think, I wanted to see one that comic store that was in the market we were in but not buy comics I found a copy of the IHF omnibus and revival issue #18 with Gert and Dorothy.

About a month ago, but I didn't buy anything.

There’s a chain I have a pull with and I stop in every couple of months to pick up ultimate spider-man. There’s a smaller one in another town I probably stop into once a year, I stopped going there simply because I never went to that town and got kind of annoyed with the owner. But he’s doing well after the divorce

Good old Vault of Midnight. One thing I like about bigger / chain stores is they always have extra if you’re looking to try something new on a lark. Haven’t been to Vault in almost a decade but I did go to one today to start a pull list for the first time in a decade, Absolute Batman and MM have me hooked and I want to support a LCS instead of ordering online. OP are you old enough to remember Comic Archives in Redford MI?

I buy card packs once a month or so.

Like two weeks ago.

Never except for once about 6 or 7 years ago and I didn't even buy anything, my sister found an old Turok comic and got it for me because she felt obligated to make a purchase. Comic books suck how can any of you find entertainment in reading them?

I've literally never been to one because there's like two in my entire country and they're both way too expensive. Like the stuff is at least 20 bucks more than if I bought the thing online from a regular bookshop and had it shipped to my door. I got some gift cards for one of them one Christmas and ended up buying some stuff in their online store because I didn't want to drive all the way there and I felt ripped off even though it was free for me and the things I bought were on sale. They must only be making a profit from being situated in a big city and Harry Potter merch and shit like that.

Where do you live?
Back where I lived in a South American country's capital there was only one comic shop, it was decently big and even sold official TWD 2-Issues-in-1 that were released by the local comic distributor, and could be found in local book stores

I just got back from one. Bought a ton of Regular Show floppies.

glowmonkey, I live down the block from your mother's house and she invites me in for tea all the time and I could snap her neck like a twig, just so you know. Is this what you do at the NSA? I hope you're using a bot.

and even sold official TWD 2-Issues-in-1 that were released by the local comic distributor

Big stuff like that are just sold in grocery stores here. You know, where kids can ask their parents for a comic in the same way they ask for a candy bar, instead of needing to go to across town to a specialty store filled with smelly adults who still play with plastic figurines.

Not sure if they still do it but when I was a lad buying Spider-Man comics they'd always put three issues in there, but from unrelated stories. Just so that each time one story ended you'd have two going, to make you want to always buy more to finish those stories as well. It was from all over the timeline too, so in one issue Doc Ock would be the villain and in the next there was a story where he's been dead for ages and the new Doc Ock is his daughter and she's trying to resurrect him with magic. Confused the absolute shit out of kid me who didn't have a firm grasp on how they were making the comics.

3 days ago. Picked up my pull list, added the other Absolute comics to my list, and special ordered "The King of Spies" from Image.

A week in December. The local LCS near me closed down a while back and I was curious about the next nearest one to me, which isn't really convenient or easy for me to get to on the regular.

But I'm not someone interested in buying floppies, weekly buying, etc., or who would engage in any of the auxiliary activities, like play Magic or hunt for Funkos. I've been - and remained a comic book reader since I was a lad, but I've never had a pull list, for example.

4 months ago

I haven't been in at least two months. I have a pull list there. I wonder if the owner is getting tired of my shit. He hasn't contacted me

Never, they don't exist in my country.

December.

i walked by my local shop last week, it's all funko pops and weebshit now.

I can't imagine not having a LCS like this.

last month... Grafic Novels are really cheap gifts for kids and teens.

Young people don't read comics these days and even if they do it's manga not West shit

How long have you been a Wednesday warrior

I ended up talking to the owner about Snow White, contrails, the Switch 2, and Dawn of the Dead.

What did they think about each topic? I'm really curious about snow white kek I assume you mean the new live action version?

They read if you give they good stuff to read.
For fuck sake if you dont teach they watch cartoons they will just watch youtube.
If you dont teach they how play video games they stay in Robox;

Be a good father/uncle/goodfather and teach kids about Tintim and Asterix.

Last week, but only because they sell Battletech stuff.

Probably a couple months ago. I go every once in a while, though I mostly buy manga and used game stuff there.

Yesterday and I hated it. The shops around me are full of pretentious dorks.

About 10 years or so. I’m 33 most of the people I see in there are a few years younger or a few years older. The idea that it’s all old dudes is remarkably untrue.

About 10 years ago? Prophet was the last thing on my pull list.

Bought a Tezuka there for $20 almost eight years ago. Never went back. Just didn't have time to walk down to it again.

Last week, I went to two. But one is just a more general "nerdy" store while the other is an actual comic book store.

finally get into comics

look up my LCS with the finder website

they closed permanently a few months ago

the next nearest comic shop is an hour away

it sucks so bad. now i just buy random trades on amazon.
