And nice pick up on the graphic novels. I haven't read The Cult as yet

Thanks for the reminder about the Marvel Now stuff! I forgot about them.
Man, hope it isn't too late to place orders for those Marvel Now #1 blank variant sketch covers. Yes, I like blank covers. They come in handy at comic conventions.
Anybody know if DC comics discontinued their We Can Be Heroes blank variant covers for their comics? Only saw solicitations for Batman, Green Lantern, and Swamp Thing and nothing else.

They also offer free shipping over $25. It's a reality I can't pass up if I want to stay collecting. The local store I support most is probably Metropolis Comics and Toys which is also a sponsor here. Their graphic novels are charged US cover price, and they have a frequent buyer card where for eatch item you buy in store over $10 you get a stamp and 10 stamps gets you $10 off your next purchase. Like everything in life, I try to find some sort of balance.
But yeah, very tough to compete with Amazon. But it's the same story with any small business trying to compete with big box stores.

I agree! I like to walk into a comic store and be able to browse through their comic selection as well. It brings back old memories from my childhood.
Yeah, that $10 off card comes in handy especially if you have a few saved up.
