I'm starting a pull box for the first time in years. I don't really need any Big 2 unless it's just that I want to display the cover. I'm blanking on what to put on it. I have subs to both online services

I really want to support this store. It has a mirror universe Simpson's comic book guy who works there and was one of the nicest comic store workers I've ever met. He heard my wife wasn't big into comics so he found her a stack of 99 cent Star Trek novels, and a working Picard Enterprise toy from the 90s. Also minority owned which I try to support, especially in this space.

Too much of my collection is in storage after a move to dig through. So far I've got Love Everlasting, and the Sisko focused Star Trek series, but most of the books I like these days are short runs. I also haven't been in any comic shops very much at all, and that's just been since January this year. Other recent indies I really liked were Deep Cuts, Do A Powerbomb, and 8 Billion Genies.

Someone mentioned some Cyberpunk series and a Blade Runner book. I like grounded scifi, scifi like The Expanse, The Peripheral, shows like that. More serious than something fun like Guardians of the Galaxy. Love Everlasting is my favorite book currently, so I also like relationships and romance books. They don't have to be straight hetero or anything either, I'm fine with anything good. Even wild rear end romcoms like Sunstone and Mr and Mrs X. I have particular tastes that I'd like, but open to most anything. Not big on t&a stuff, it just always seems corny and desperate.

That said, I keep hearing about Gun Honey and Brubaker endorses it as good pulp noir (another fave style of mine and a fave writer) but it may just be guns and boobs. I also like revenge stories. I love the Parker adaptions and Criminal. Ninjas are always rad, I was an early 80s kid.

Also not a huge manga fan, but not opposed to something that fits the bill. I'm almost 50 and it generally just seems to be aimed at younger readers and I often don't enjoy the art styles. I'm almost 50 and it just doesn't appeal to me around 95% of the time. An example I like in an anime form is Way of the Househusband.

That's a vague idea of what I'd like to jump into, but I will look into any other suggestions outside of my main interests also. I'll try anything once.
