http://www.dcbservice.com has normally 40% off if you pre order and have specials for 50% off certain books each month. Full disclosure though I'm friends with a bunch of people who work there so I might be a little biased. They're super rad. :cool:

Just because you don't care about what DC is putting out does not mean that it isn't still selling. Batman still outsells just about everything else as far as I know.

I'm going to be traveling a little this year. Can anyone recommend good comic shops in Columbus, Ohio and Knoxville, Tennessee? For me, "good" includes large selections of back issues, TPBs (especially discounted ones), and loose action figures, but beggars can't be choosers.

I don't know where you are traveling from but if you are coming anywhere near Fort Wayne, IN you should stop by. We have DCBS which has just about every trade that's in print discounted at ~35%, Rhyno's store Clemm's Collectibles, and Books Comics & Things which has a pretty decent back catalog.

Is there a way to read One Punch Man legally without having to buy whole Shonen Jump books? Are those scan sites legal? I'm not *too* concerned about it, but it seems like something I'd enjoy based on the pages I've seen in various threads.

They haven't released collections yet in the US for some reason so apart from buying the backlog of WSJ or just waiting no. You should catch up on scans or whatever then subscribe to Shonen Jump. It's only like $25 a year and it's super rad..

I remember that because I really wanted a Captain Marvel poster and was pissed that's the one they decided to put out.

Same thing with the Spider-Man posters from last previews. How did they not make that Marcos Martin cover into a poster? Utter garbage.

I was talking about the whole media input from the two companies. I follow with interest anything coming from DC (cartoons, live action series, games, movies, comics) but outside Spiderman nothing from Marvel has piqued my interest. I'm really pumped by ASM2 though.

It's really weird that I was pretty much in that same position like a year ago.
That makes me think, have you ever read the Daredevil series by Bendis? That's what really got me into Marvel.

Why? Isn't basically everything Dynamite publishes public domain?

Hey, does anyone know if the plastic used to bag comics can stand up to 140ish degrees Fahrenheit? I'm getting my apartment heat treated for bed bugs next week (thank you pack of dudebros next door who didn't initially tell me about their infestation until after they treated their place, pushing them over to mine), and I'm trying to figure out what to do with my funnybooks. :ohdear:

If it'll melt all over them, I'm just gonna take the books out and trash the plastic. Only reason I even have them bagged/boarded was I got the supplies for free.

I don't know how many comics you have but I would just take them out of your house instead of taking every single one out of their bags. In fact I can't imagine a case where that wouldn't be easier.

WOAH (From Bendis's tumblr http://brianmichaelbendis.tumblr.com/)

quote:


For immediate release!

Marvel and DC officially announce the return of THE AMALGAM UNIVERSE!

For the first co-publishing venture in over a decade, Marvel and DC have come to an agreement to bring back The Amalgam Universe, a universe comprised of ‘amalgam characters’ of some of the most beloved superheroes of the two most exciting comic book publishers in the entire world.

Spinning out of the events of Forever Evil and Original Sin, The Amalgam Universe is a brand-new, 12 part maxi series by super scribes Geoff Johns and Brian Michael Bendis with artwork by Olivier Copiel, Bryan Hitch, John Romita jr., Alex Maleev, Mike Deodato jr., and comics legend John Byrne, making his long awaited return to mainstream comics.

The Amalgam Universe will be published biweekly this September with many of your favorite regular comics ‘going dark’ for the duration of the series.

"The fallout from The Amalgam Universe is so big to both comic book universes, the changes so overwhelming, that you won’t recognize most of your favorite titles at the end of it.” said Bendis.

When asked: why now? Both publishers, in a joint statement said: because announcing it tomorrow just isn’t that funny.

Stay tuned for more details.
I guess people are really going for it this year. I just can't believe this would actually be true, but only terrible things could come from it if it was.

Oh yeah I edited it like 5 times in a row. My first instinct was to believe it because I didn't read it all the way through.

It would be like DC isn't happy just loving up their own books, they gotta go gently caress Marvel's books up too.
