Earlier this week, I was telling a friend about how cheap I was getting off with my comic book order for January (for books coming out in March). I have, in the past couple of months, dropped several titles, but I was still amazed to find that my order was only going to be about half of what it usually is.
Merely the calm before the storm, I was soon to find out.
Which, as I stated before, I should have recognized. See, the comic book industry is pretty predictable. There are a couple of times a year that major events and special books are usually printed.
March is not one of those times. But, April? On the cusp of summer, with the major comic book film releases beginning to emerge in May and huge summer events starting their kick-offs in time for the summer convention season?
Huge.

I just made my initial run through for the February comic order, and, wow.
Anyone wanna buy my kidney?
I guess, though, I should feel lucky. I mean, the fact that there is a lot of good stuff out there is nice. There have been times in the past when I just haven't wanted much of what's out there.
So, I guess I'll just pull my belt a little tighter this month. I can handle that.
Anyone know where I can sell some plasma?
Type at you later.
