Great color choice for the signature. Really pops.

Going to go with some gothic horror/romance for this week’s choice.

She’s our goofy girl. What she lacks in smarts she makes up in charm.

Cursory search of eBay sold listings for D’Orc and you can see the shift from issues selling at cover price to almost all of them going for 24.95 at nearly the same time. And all of those sold with exactly 1 bid.

That smells fishy.

Flooding the recently sold listings with a predetermined price.

What I am trying to pin down is if it worked on these books then why are we not seeing it on other lower print run books? There has to be some sort of coordination taking place between multiple resellers to get that kind of momentum started.

That said. I loved the first issue of D’Orc.

Both volumes have been great. Highly recommend.

He also stole a hobo’s trousers and convinced a woman that he and her stalker were from the future.

And he plays the harmonica.

Shout out to my LCS for not falling victim to the lure of easy money. Cover price. Limit one per customer. (I already had Nectar on pull since early February. Narco, well that was a FOMO purchase.)

We will see how much longer this manufactured demand for low volume first issues goes on.

We finished the first Audiobook in the series and are 17 chapters into the second.

If you love Donut you will adore Mongo.

Love the movie posters. My youngest works at the theatre and brings home posters for current films. They don’t even get put up at the theatre. The distributors send them but all of their coming soon displays are digital. Another dying art form.

What poster was on your wall when you were a teenager?

This is going to be multi parter. Most of these are pics I found online except Voltron that one is up in the kids room. I believe I still have all of these. Not pictured are several more Doors posters and a Robocop video store standee.

I’m not willing to go that far.

We just saw this one on the big screen in Ann Arbor. Something special to see these at that scale.

I have to agree. Even after he’s gone they have appointed so many unqualified partisan lackeys to lifetime positions it will take a generation before the total impact of his malfeasance starts to clear up. I don’t see any way the GOP pivots back to center right either. This is their default now.

Perusing comics at a 2nd and Charles is akin to looking for a pair of matching socks in the dark. There’s no knowing what you will find when you turn the lights on.

Random key for a dollar. Copy of Shadowhawk for $10. That box marked Marvel, it’s full of Archie comics. Chaos abounds.

I love it.

That’s a nice prompt you got there. Sure would be a shame if someone stole it.

Let’s see how well a Ben Johnson offense works without a pro bowl caliber Center round 2.
