In Which Our Hero Is Thwarted By Supply Vs. Demand

[the_wanlorn]

 
The only non-skeevy comic book shop near me (that I know of. I'm sure there are more that I don't know of because, for me, a comic book store is like a boyfriend: you don't see other stores until you're sure things are over with your current one, and Comicopia's been my store for years and years and years) is out of both issues of Locke & Key.

And, to add insult to injury, they're out of the particular back issues of various X-men lines I need. I'm not talking about year-old issues that haven't been in stock for months, no. I'm talking about oops-sorry-I-just-sold-the-last-one-five-minutes-ago issues from last month.

I hate today.

IT'S NOT FAIR. IT'S LIKE TRYING TO RICKROLL SOMEONE AND FINDING OUT ALL RICKROLLS HAVE BEEN TOS'D FROM YOUTUBE.

Man, I rly need to get back reading comic books. Last time I was cashless I scaled down to Astonishing & Excalibur & I never started reading more again.

Yeah, this was my attempt to get back into legally buying comics after scaling down to 0 legally bought ones because of that.

Clearly the fates are telling me torrenting is AWESOME and I should just keep doing that.

Totes. What are you reading at the moment? (I'm taking Y: The last man as an anti-rec)

GOD I JUST THAT STUPID COMIC I MEAN WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

(Honestly, though, I'm angry at it in that way you get angry with really good things that have endings you REALLY DON'T LIKE BECAUSE THEY'RE DUMB AND LAME AND ASJFKLA)

I'm trying to get caught up with Ultimate X-men again. And I have House of M waiting for me, and Marvel Zombies has been sitting on my desktop for a year and a half because it can't possibly be as awesome as I imagine it. And I'm sort-of following Civil War, but not religiously 'cause I can't make up my mind about it.

But the ones that I'm actively reading right-this-second are Fables and Dorothy. Which are both INSANELY good. Like, asjdflk;jas;dljfka;lsjdf;lasjdf good.

And if you like rolicking vampire stories, check out 30 Days of Night and its sequel. The art in 30DoN is kind of hard to get past at first, but it's cleaned up enough to be enjoyable in Dark Days (or whatever the sequel run is called). They're short but fun.

D: My comment didn't LOOK that big and rambly until it returned to my inbox. D:

If you can't find the Locke and Key issues, lemme know, and I can mail you mine. (I don't keep monthlies -- Lilly eats the damn things. So I buy them and pass them along as needed.)

God, I may have to actually take you up on that. :( I called all the shops near my work (since, you know. I live in Boston. So of course I work 20 miles outside of Boston in a completely different city.) and they were all either "lulz we sold out girlie" or "...what's that? Who's it by? Oh, sorry, we don't do special orders."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:(

But I've still got a couple places plus the internet to check before I give up.
