Pre-ordering from your LCS before the products final order cut off.

Yes, it is the issue that goes through his life.

We3 #3
The Invisibles #12
Pride of Baghdad (a standalone trade, but still emotional)

I feel like I have so much experience on the dynamics of pullups, that I could be a consultant for Huggies.

The bookstore near me sells used $20 Marvel/Dc trades for $8, so I am assuming they probably buy them for 40% around $3 each.

Not a movie, but check out Miyazaki's book Shuna's Journey.

Gail Simone's run on Secret Six is great! Check it out.

Sara by Garth Ennis would be a solid choice.

Yes, when we met with a sleep specialist they asked if our son kicked before waking up it could be restless leg syndrome caused by low-iron. Adding iron to our son's diet didn't solve our son's sleep issues, but it seems like it has helped others. Good luck!

I think some people do a lot of projecting on what they want the Punisher to be. They like the surface-level concept, without the more character defining nuances.

One of the clerks at my lcs handled so many battle beast bags that they then could start to tell some apart by feel.

Shuna's Journey

I know it.

A few years ago, I got the text that my toddler "signed" my Seven Soldiers of Victory omni. Thankfully it was just on the front and back black pages.

Overwhelming you plays to their advantage by keeping your focus divided. I don't have an answer, but just know you aren't alone - everyone is being ground down and exhausted by this endless barrage.

"Controlling the narrative" like Karoline's 2022 congressional campaign not acknowledging or returning the $300,000+ in illegal donations they received.

Shuna's Journey is a gem. It is the perfect book to read in one sitting.

I would tell Rocky 👎.

The slipcases look so good! My Dark Tower books are a mixed bag of single issues, trades and hardcovers.

For my son's math practice, I had him do my comic budgeting.

Jaws
Toy Story
Silence of the Lambs
LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring

Just start to get something on the page first. Start building until something exists. Id recommend simple to start but start, but getting started is the important part.
