Sweet Flea-Market Finds Again x5:

~Only picked up two figures at The Dirt-Mall this Saturday...  The "Toy-Dealers" are taking over, it sucks.  There are, like; five of them now- and they all go out in teams first thing in the morning and buy up anything regular people have for cheap to resale at their booths for ridiculous prices.  I'm going to have to start getting there at 6:30AM just to be able to find anything. And even then- they've got ten guys going through the entire thing, and I'm just one man.
What's really sad is that none of them even know their shit. It's aggravating. But I digress...

The New Warriors #15

The New Warriors is a great series (then and now), and damn is 1991's issue #15 is a super fun fucking read! I do have most of the run... but this was one I was always missing.  -Can't remember the last time I had this much fun reading an old back-issue!!!

"Don't ever fuckin' call me kid-fucking-Nova again...  seriously. I'm ALL MAN now!"

Here's what I got good at The Flea-Market last weekend!:

The other little things in comics...

I was never interested in supplemental advertising/promotion type stuff when reading my comics; I would only ever skim them, if not skipping over them entirely... They're largely shameful, not funny, and/or uninteresting.  I remember reading the Marvel Cool-o-Meter and then wondering why the fuck I just read the Marvel Cool-o-Meter. Stuff like Stan's Soapbox, Bullpen Bulletins, Daily Planet, DC Universe... I just never found any of them worth reading. (Okay- the Bullpen Bits comics were great!) The checklists of that months comics were handy enough at first- but became rather pointless once you were into Wizard and/or Previews, or had a file at your LCS. Even the letter-columns; I would mostly skip. A lot of fake praise, stupid questions, stuffy replies, and inserted straw-man arguments.  Really; The Maxx and The Savage Dragon were the first comics I ever read to make the fan letters / responses a truly genuine, comical, and engaging experience.  They even made the copyright small-print in the front worth reading!
