Just got back from the local comics shop, where 2 weeks worth of new releases were waiting in my pull bag. Here's what I bought today:
AVENGERS INFINITY #1 (Marvel, $2.99)
FLASH ANNUAL #13 (DC, $3.50)
HEROES VS HITLER #1 (Hamster Press, $3.50) (new B&W indie comic written by Roy Thomas)
HOUSE OF MYSTERY #1 (DC, $2.50; Millennium Edition reprinting the 1951 comic)
KIN #5 by Gary Frank (Image, $2.95)
MYSTERIOUS SUSPENSE #1 by Steve Ditko (DC, $2.50; Millennium Edition reprinting the 1967 Charlton comic starring The Question)
PROMETHEA #9 (ABC, $2.95)
SUPERBOY #77 (DC, $2.25)
X-MEN: CHILDREN OF THE ATOM #5 (Marvel, $2.99)
X-MEN: THE HIDDEN YEARS #10 by John Byrne (Marvel, $2.50)
I also flipped through the 50-cent boxes and picked out a few from there. My shop often puts in semi-recent comics that are only a few months old into the 50-cent boxes -- a good way to pick up newish comics for real cheap. Here's what I bought for 50 cents each:
ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #578 (DC, cover-dated May 2000)
Total cost of the new comics, prior to my 30% discount: $31.58.
Total amount spent at comics shop today: $24.11.
(This was an impulse buy. I happened to see it on the shelf, liked the traditional style artwork on the cover, flipped open a few pages and liked the traditional style art inside, and decided to buy it. If I had stopped to look at the price tag, I might have been hesitant, but I liked the art.)
(I've gotten my older sister to read this series. She asked me to buy her a copy of the new issue, so I bought two of these and gave one to her.)
This actually came out a couple weeks ago, but somehow I missed it last time, even though I have the series on my monthly pull.
BATMAN #577 (DC, May 2000)
DETECTIVE COMICS #744 (DC, May 2000)
THUNDERBOLTS #35 (Marvel, Feb. 2000)
Cost of the new comics after my discount: $22.11.
