Six players? How did that work, I cant see everyone fitting round the machine for that. Heck, 4 was always the max I ever saw. Just remembered there was always my next go to game Fightmania which was like ddr version of fist of the north star but with punches. When I first found that the giant plastic fist guards had been ripped off so I didn't use them, instead just my bare fist on the pads. Other than being clenched tight ready to punch the next protruding orange paddle I only moved my thumb to put in the next coin, so it wasn't until an hour later I'd finally won and unclenched my hands to find my knuckles were bleeding. This may sound like an attempt to look like the super cool tough guy, but this was on the easy setting, took an hour and I was a hefty weak kid who loved, but was clearly not good at, video games.

Local barcade does indeed have the 6 player version. It's pretty beat up though.

My LCS is closer than the Gamestop and there is no way they'd stock Fighting America, Isola, and that new image comic about chefs and that awesome dog that name I forgot. And they won't have Mecha Cadet Yu. Probably won't have Ms. Marvel. Or Marvel 2-in-1. Or any of the other smaller name titles.

If they offer a preorder system (their bread and butter) all of those things will be available.

People making fun of how fat Goering was is my favorite Golden Age comic book convention. Also, really weird racism:  (I've been trying for a while to find something to respond to with that second panel...)

Also how ubiquitous the racism is. I’m reading plastic man and I love it but there are some really bad pages. He’ll, that Sparky Watts comic I posted has a very strange Chinese child who’s like a slave. Super racist and also super weird.

(Issue 122) This was just about the time I started reading Spider-Man, so this was my first exposure to him: An angry, cynical character in a really dark place. Quite a difference from the friendly neighborhood wisecracker most people associate with him today. Don't know if I'd want that Spider-Man back, but Gerry Conway had a hell of a memorable run.

He wrote a couple decent comics too. https://twitter.com/JDiamond1/status/1005050068737589248?s=19 If you're reading this and struggling with depression, please reach out to some one. If nothing else, call the national suicide hotline. This time line is hard for a lot of people right now and you are not alone in your struggles and there are people willing to help you through.

That sucks. My life changed (possibly for the worse) because of Kitchen Confidential. I was pretty aimless, and that book sold me on trying to become a chef.

I think it's great. Comics need to break out of LCSs again. When I was a child, the way I got to browse comics was being dragged to the supermarket by my mother.

Yeah I can't possibly be less concerned for LCSes if it means people actually reading comics expands. If anything, if Gamestop keeps the comics they sell to a limited number of titles as they're currently suggesting, it has a pretty strong possibility of expanding the LCS market as readers seek out titles not carried at GS.
