I Love Going To The Comics Shop























































*****

Shops: Comic Carnival on High School Road in Indy, that one bookstore that used to carry comics in Muncie whose name I can't remember, Alter-Ego in Muncie, Bob's Comic Castle
Total Cost: an astonishing $64 for 50 comics, with $10 of that $64 going to the Maximum Fantastic Four hardcover. I paid full retail for the Captain America and Iron Man books, too.

I have seen the future of comics, and it is buying funnybooks out of dollar boxes in comic shops located in rapidly deteriorating Rust Belt towns. Well, my future of comics, anyway. What a great time. The best parts of the store trips were talking comics with the proprietor of Alter Ego, my very not-comics-reading friend Carrie finding only one book in one of the shops that interested her on any level and that book being Palestine, and my friend Dan discovering the all-ages books that the mainstream companies are doing and laughing his way through them in an approving manner.
