Been busy last week with helping my cousin prep his house for new paint and new flooring, but we did manage to make it out to the comic book store last week Thursday. Not only did we pick up a few comics but I also grabbed several short boxes for my cousin who had all his comics sorted and spread out amongst two small tables. Keith has been a great guy to us as of late. He knows our finances are limited right now and he doesn’t mind it we only pick up a few comics a week and throw the rest in our hold box. Eventually, as soon as certain storylines finish up, I’ll be dropping those titles as I’ve said before. Keith says I should just pick up my favorites and anything else that’s not priority, should be picked up in graphic novel form. That’s what I’ll probably be doing for most of the Marvel storylines I skipped and will be skipping in the future.

This week’s pull was pretty big and on top of that there were the comics I didn’t pick up from last week. Still I have to prioritize, decide which I have to have this week and set aside those I can hold off on reading. Luckily, Keith is pretty understanding and doesn’t mind holding the comic books I didn’t pick up for another time. Most of those set aside were all the X-titles that are part of the NECROSHA storyline. So most of the comic books I’ll be reading this week are from DC Comics.
