Here’s my best friends parents house. This is what I got to see in Virginia. The worst snow storm they’ve had since I left. I did wish for no rain when I went to visit. I guess I should be a bit more specific!
Here’s the list for this week!
-Paula
Paula is away visiting a friend and I can’t figure out how to format the comic list, so here’s the highlights for the week : Blackest Night Wonder woman # 3 of 3, Blackest Night The Question #37, which features the original Question along with the new Question Renee Montoya, Buffy #32, starting a five part story arc “Twilight”. I don’t know why they chose that name for a story. Are all vampires in “Twilight”??? Red Robin #9, Tim Drake’s adventures looking for and finding out Bruce Wayne ISN”T dead has been a book I’ve really enjoyed. Some of Marvel’s books were involved in a major truck accident this week and got destroyed. As a result we’ve been allocated parts of our orders, including Siege #2 of 4. This means I don’t have as many as I originally ordered, so if you want this one don’t dilly dally. This also affects Iron Man #23, but not as badly. Not involved was Ultimate Comics X #1. We’re also getting in a good re-order of the Fall of the Hulks books. We’ll try to get a full list out to you with a newsletter when Paula gets back on Tuesday. Sorry I wasn’t able to do better.

Rick’s Writin’sWinter break is over and the TV world is jumping with all sorts of interesting bits. The NBC/Leno/Conan debacle has been more entertaining than Jay’s show was. Conan gets the shaft, but maybe a $30 million payoff. He was always loyal to NBC and in the end NBC treated him like something they stepped in. They even went so far as to blame Conan for the fiasco in the first place, with high level NBC executive Dick Ebersol calling Conan “chicken hearted and gutless and an astounding failure”. When this is all said and done I think Conan will end up on FOX at 11:00 pm, getting a 35 min head start on Leno and Letterman. That’s probably his best chance at success. I don’t think ABC would bump Nightline and Jimmy Kimmel for Conan. Besides, if Read the rest of this entry »

This week puts us into mid-January and marks kind of an anniversary for me. As a start into the comic selling business, I did my first mall show fifteen years ago in mid January of 1995. I’d been fired a few months previously from my movie theater manager job, for talking to the Seattle P.I newspaper about popcorn. I was out of work, had time and of course, needed money, so I thought I would try and sell some of my extra comics. Who didn’t have “extra” comics in the early-mid 1990’s. That was the thing then, buying multiple copies of first issues and hot comics, gimmicky covers, SPAWN!!! Youngblood!! Rob Liefeld!!! The show was at Sea-Tac Mall, or The Commons in Federal Way as it’s now stupidly called. Back in the olden days, before on-line shopping became common and E-Bay didn’t exist, Read the rest of this entry »
