I have just gotten myself the 6th issue of the new "Thor" comic book, and the 2nd volume of the soft cover compilation of the "Bone" series.
Next on my shopping list is the 2nd volume of the "American Virgin (AV)" compilation. I would have gotten this too had I got a better monetary status this week.
These 3 will be added to my "V for Vendetta," the 1st 5 issues of the new "Thor", and the 1st volume and 2nd volume of "AV" and "Bone" respectively.
Why comic books? These are all I can read nowadays given the time I have to allot for work and studies. My copies of "Shadow Star" and "Shadow Moon", novels the stories of which are by George Lucas are rotting where I last left them along with a collection of Solzhenitsyn short stories and prose poems.
Best comic book outlet: "Comic Odyssey" at the 3rd Level of Robinson's Galleria. Why? The atmosphere is quite warm and friendly since the owner personally entertains the purchases and queries of the costumers. He also knows all the editions and issues of the products available in their shop. Last, the number of comics available at the store is also quite overwhelming.
Worst: The "Filbar's" or something at Virra Mall. Suplada sa mga inquiries ang personnel. Kapag mukha kang nagtatanong lang at hindi bibili, nakataas ilong nila sa iyo. Sagwa...
looks like someone's going through a second childhood. haha.
TumugonBurahini remember being a collector of mostly "x"-titles(x-men, x-force, etc.) comic books in high school. most of my monthly stipends would go to these indulgences. i think i still have some of them.
get vertigo issues!
TumugonBurahinI believe "V for Vendetta" and "American Virgin" are Vertigo comic books.
TumugonBurahinI really don't go after any of the "Sandman" volumes since these are too well known.
I also have to be careful with spending my money. Comic books are really addicting.
I have always been a child. I cannot afford to grow up for life then becomes lonely and complicated.
TumugonBurahinHold on to and take good care of them. Malay mo maging collector's item at tumaas ang value.
