2010 Best Sellers
I read Brian Hibbs posts at Comix Experience about 2010 and wanted to compare my numbers. I really can’t do a fair comparison across all product lines, because I don’t track back issues individually and some card packs go under Cards and some go under Games. But I will give you my Top 50 Comics […]
Quick Reviews of Some of This Week’s Books
Mrs. Pittsburgh Comics was wiped out and fell asleep after Winter Wipeout (Must See TV!), so I read all of this weeks books that I took home. Here are some quick reviews: Walking Dead #80 – I really don’t think this book really needs to ever be reviewed. There is rarely a stinker of an […]

I just want to make sure everyone knows that beginning this week, DC is dropping the price of all of their books to $2.99. This doesn’t include specials, but does include all of their regular ongoing books.
Year End Thoughts
First off, thanks for making 2010 another successful year for me. For me, 2010 was a crazy year. Most of it is actually a blur. These last 4 months certainly drowned out the first 8. I do remember Free Comic Book Day being a hoot, but beyond that not so much. As you all know, […]
