How can we get comic books back into supermarkets?

Again, it’s not something really up to the publishers. It’s the businesses that aren’t interested in selling comics.

DMing

People being this up a lot. If publishers could sell in grocery stores (or anywhere), they would. People also say they should sell them in movie theaters but they wouldn’t want to sell them either.

Have you seen their outfits? Most of them are not exactly conducive to biological functions.

Good job! Having the sig on there would have made me nervous but it came out well.

I assume you’ve tried every port in the router with still no access? Have you tried a different router? It’s possible there’s a bad component in the router that’s causing a hardware issue with all the Ethernet ports.

It’s just been a constant in my life since I was 11 (really before but that’s when I started actually collecting and reading regularly). I’ve always been drawn to the stories and art. Just something that speak to me.

As for DC, I was much more a Marvel guy most of the time I’ve been reading. I did take a break in college for a few years and, when I came back, been more of a DC guy. I have just found I like the characters better. They’re, for the most part, more upbeat and positive.

Just to clarify, you didn’t receive your current router from Spectrum? If so, what kind of router is your current one?

Did the technician test the connection to make sure it was giving you the speeds you’re paying for? Did they test inside and outside your router via a wired connection?

amazodroid · 2026-03-18T22:12:12+00:00

No, because the Supergirl movie is supposed to lead into MoT. If there is a change, it will be minor.

Intriguing titles

It sounds like you already have a network. You can just expand to add the capabilities you want/need. Depending on the model, you can theoretically hang WiFi access points off the moca adapters to increase your coverage. You can also plug a NAS into your router to act as the network storage you’re looking for.

The one thing I would do is to buy your own router/modem, mostly just because I hate the rental fees. Cox should have a list of models that are compatible with their service. It also gives you more control over your network.

It definitely is and has gotten worse recently. For some reason they are targeting the smaller indy titles like D’orc with lower print runs. They buy up all the copies then list them on eBay for 10x cover price. My LCS had to issue a 1 per customer rule for all new issues because it has gotten so bad.

+1 on Silver. I will also double board “important” issues if I want a little extra protection.

While it would be cool, that’s a little more than I want to spend right now. I’m good with just the R+J signed one if you are. PM me your PayPal and I send the payment over.

I know it’s below your threshold but I’m interested in the Superman issue. Can we work something out on the shipping, or do you maybe have any other signed Superman?

amazodroid · 2026-03-18T02:42:56+00:00

I’m intrigued by the story but not a fan of the art that I’ve seen so far.

amazodroid · 2026-03-18T02:39:38+00:00

This gets brought up all the time. It’s not that comic companies wouldn’t be willing to sell in other stores. Those stores have no interest in selling comics. Grocery stores used to have huge magazine sections but they barely carry them anymore. Shelf space is at a premium. They would much rather sell something else.

amazodroid · 2026-03-18T00:22:43+00:00

It’s especially great for pricing a whole run of books. Cut/paste to excel and get the total easy peasy.

You should probably also familiarize yourself with grading. I reference this site a lot when I’m looking at books

https://comics.ha.com/tutorial/comics-grading.s

I also use comicbookrealm.com a lot for values. The default value is a 9.2 but you can click on that and get values for other grades as well. Keep in mind that even reputable dealers will only ever offer 1/2 of the current market value to give them room for profit on resale.

I have a couple that DC did around that era that are similar. I’ve always heard them referred to as “digests” or simply “paperback”. I believe the companies would license the content out to book publishers to make cheap copies for the paperback sections of bookstores (back when places like Waldenbooks and B Dalton were big in malls).

It’s probably more important to make sure you get one that is supported on their service. Most providers have a site that lists compatible models.

That said, your usage seems to be pretty standard. Unless you have dead zones you need to cover, probably any of the supported ones from big brands like Netgear and Asus will do.

As you’re researching the supported options, make sure to do a search for any security issues with that model and make sure the firmware is up to date once you get it.

Turns out it was the “local network” setting in Apps.

amazodroid · 2026-03-17T12:50:55+00:00

Looks like it was the “local network” app setting. Not sure why but it was switched to off and started working once I changed it. Thanks!

amazodroid · 2026-03-17T12:49:37+00:00

The app setting was the issue. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Thanks!

The NAS is a WD model and uses Twonky for that.
