You may want to find a way to shim the pages open, if possible, since they probably absorbed a lot of the smell. Speaking of smoking, I was hanging out at a neighborhood bar yesterday and there was a guy there who has a reputation for reeking of cigarettes at all time and having a BAC of 0.15 minimum at all times. Anyway, he was sitting two seats away from me and I think I was actually having an allergic reaction to him - I was getting stuffy, sneezing a bunch, and my eyes were burning. It was distressing.

Sounds to me like you're not going to have a comic shop much longer.

I dunno, man, a comic shop that doesn't sell comics doesn't sound like the sort of thing that's gonna last very long!

Like, half of those boil down to "you should be able to read people's minds AND tell the future!" The other half are "you should be inclusive and actively work to prevent harassment" which is cool and attainable.

I don't know how you make a gay pride cover for a zombie comic, but I do know that's definitely not it. Sucks that people have to be assholes about it, in any case.

Onmi posted:Beyond it being an incredibly lovely business practice to essentially make the company look better than it is? a lot of the times they don't sell, they're just chaff. The other issue is that by overshipping books to prop up numbers, Marvel isn't letting the public decide which books it actually likes, which ones it doesn't, and what the fans want.

That Star-Spangled War Stories can't possibly be as good as that cover wants me to believe it is. Is this because DCBS closed?

It's pretty crappy customer service to sell someone's book that they reserved. That said, if you're waiting a month to pick up your books, I don't really hold it too much against them.

Are they just trying to see if you sell comics early or is it a general secret shopping thing?

Is it untrue that if a comic has low orders it might be difficult to get since stores don't want to over-order? That seems like a good reason to preorder. (Granted, I'm KILLING COMIC SHOPS by only buying digital so what do I know?)

I haven't bought a floppy in years and don't intend to change that. Even if I wanted to, I don't have the space to store piles of paper. Digital is so much nicer. I'm almost even out of room for collected stuff, though I need to purge since there's lots of things I don't really want anymore.
