unfortunately I live some ways away from Detroit.
Theres something you dont hear every day. Ow! :anonymous
:1orglaugh I guess not.
Although, even taking my last statement out of context, besides a significantly lower crime rate, a good argument could be made that where I live is even worse.
As long as it's less than a few hrs I am willing to make the drive. Seriously nothing is here anymore.
You're more dedicated than I am anymore. It doesn't help I have a car I wouldn't even trust to take me more than about 20 miles in one trip for fear it might break down. Of course I haven't collected or bought comics in a long time. I think the last time I went to a place that specialized in comics was sometime around 1996. Most things I learn from them are now are from wikis on the Internet about a subject or genre dedicated to that, from people that still are interested in them and buy the books that review them on the Internet or talk about them on forums, or from the occasional free sample they might give out online once in a while.
Sadly when I was still young I lost almost all my comics in a flood at my parents house. I want to replace a great many of them but sadly I do know some of the X-man comics I did have are now collectors things so I am screwed as they will caught way too much anymore. Reading online is cool but I just love the smell and the whole I can touch it factor.
I have all my comics in a big box that has hardly been opened in the last ten years. I know I probably couldn't buy them all over again even if I could somehow find some of the rarer ones. One of these days I hope the people that make comics put out a lot of their comic lines on disc that you could read on computer. That way it would be cheap and you could get decades of comics people otherwise wouldn't be able to read and will never buy any other way on a few disc. True, it will never be close to having the real thing in your hands, but for a lot of people it's the only way they will be able to enjoy all the old classics or just the ones they missed when they were younger. Still it's hard to beat that old comic book smell or seeing the pictures and artwork in your hand. Walking into an old bookstore is usually easily recognizable by the old book smell they have.
