Just sold about a quarter of my collection (trades and omnis). Took a big hit but it beats listing everything on eBay. Feels good to purge. LCBS won't take omnibus so Powell's got em. The employees enjoyed going through them so it was kinda fun. I have a lot less separation anxiety than I thought I would. I partially credit the AUG thread for motivating me.

I partially credit the AUG thread for motivating me. Even though I purged my collection several times over the years, my wife and I are moving to a smaller place so I had to purge even more. This one sucks a bit more because now I am going into a few deep cuts to get rid of (basically comics I read as a kid til the covers fell off). I don't really wanna bother with selling them on ebay or getting a negligible price on my stuff so I usually donate them to a youth drop in clinic. I also hear that in the states there is a place where you can donate them to troops serving overseas.

I am in the same boat with my single issues. They are basically worth nothing but I get a nostalgia punch to the gut when I go through them and usually end up reading a few. I might end up donating them to the library's thrift store. Maybe find an artist friend who could make a collage?

Endless Mike posted:Does anyone read comics on a Surface Pro? I see there's no Comixology Windows app anymore which is a bummer. As a device, it's quite nice, though. I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a Windows device, but I'm not sure it's *quite* what I want, and Windows, as a platform, isn't quite there as far as reading comics (though I'm sure it is vastly better than iOS for people with lots of legally-acquired CBZs).

joehonkie posted:Kindle stuff usually also unlocks on Comixology but unless something's changed, I don't think it goes the other way. Yeah, this is the case. In researching before buy, the "solution" seems to be to install an Android emulator, install the Android Comixology app on that, and use it. I tried this on my desktop, and it refuses to let me view two pages at once, but there might be a setting I needed to gently caress with, so I might play with that some more, but it's still really dumb.

Today was my birthday and my brother got me a gift card for a bookshop. I'm thinking about getting the fifth Usagi Yojimbo Saga book, but there's also that Usagi Yojimbo Saga Legends book which has Space Usagi an stuff like that, or the one that has all of the Usagi/Turtles crossovers. Are either of them especially worthwhile or should I stick with the main series one?

Are either of them especially worthwhile or should I stick with the main series one? Space Usagi is okay, but it's a big step down from the regular series which is consistently excellent. Yokai, which is also in the Legends volume, is excellent but pretty slight. I'd say stick to the main series until you run out and then because you're still going to want more then get the Legends volume.

Ohhhhh, poo poo, I think Legends also has Senso, which is the one where Usagi fights some H.G. Wells Martians with a giant robot version of himself. I'm pretty torn... Edit: Of course the other wrinkle is that when I was in HMV the other day I saw this lovely vinyl of Rory Gallagher's Irish Tour '74...

I already had like 18 books before they were announced. I'd stick to the main series to be honest. The legends stories are all good (because all Usagi Yojimbo is good) but book 5 leads to book 6 which has one of the best recentish stories in. I'd only recommend the UY/TMNT book if you have everything else, and i'm a big TMNT fan. I need to do a reread soon come to think of it.

Most of them could only be had used at some exorbitant price.

The comic shop that I have been going to for nearly 20 years will be closing down in the next few weeks. It sucks but I have slowly been transitioning to a new shop over the months. The reason for the closing is that the original owner of the store passed away and his wife took over. There were two guys who ran the store since the 1980's and the offered to buy the store from the wife but she refused in the thoughts that she could get a better price for the store. She really had no interest in owning the store, nor cared about it whatsoever. A month ago the TV show Deadly Class filmed some scenes at the store (when the show comes out next year you can see what the store looked like) and they paid roughly 30 grand to film there. The idea was that the wife would take a percentage of that amount and put the rest back into the store. For weeks before the filming the store was unable to get new stock because they couldn't make the payments and without new stock you don't get the money to pay for new stock etc. She took the full 30 grand and didn't put any of it back into the store. The studio was going to film some more scenes at the store and basically forced her to pay the rent of the place before they agreed to pay to use the shop (if the rent wasn't paid the landlords could prevent the studio from filming there). Yes, they had to force her to pay the rent. So with months now of no new stock to sell and no money going into the store, it will be finally closing up shop. One of the managers has been offered a job at another comic shop (kind of let us help you out gesture) and the other has taken on a new job elsewhere. Sadly it feels like an end of era, and it is quite sad to see it happening

It's just one branch of a chain but that chain is down to one store. It's part of a prolific brand too (Mile High Comics) so I think there's a lot of contraction happening right now in the market. It's really sad seeing it go because that particular store has been there since I can remember some 20-30 years ago at least. I left the area a year ago but kept up with store news.

I also have the two volume slipcase  - it's pretty awesome (my original set comprises of a wider thinner book 1 and a hardback book 6 in amongst the standard size)I did have to go to ebay and various other resellers to complete my collection but I never ended up spending more than around £15 a book which isn't bad (not as cheap as the saga books though). Its the only comic series that I have every story for - its remained consistently entertaining.

It did feel like one of the last old school shops, but I never felt it was too creepy like some got. Golden age seems kind of of plasticky and Funko filled in comparison.
