Comic books.
I love them. They're fun, exciting, oftentimes brilliant and many other things. They're also horrible. Horrible in the fact that they take up so much room. I was housesitting for my parents a few weeks ago, walked down to the basement and it all came back to me. There they were, 27 boxes full of comics stacked off to the side against a wall. Most of them in order, but a few boxes that had yet to be organized.
I made the decision that it was time for some of them to go. I don't plan on giving up on comics all together, but I'm making the switch to reading more digitally and buying more collected editions. I'll still hit the comic shop every wednesday, but my weekly buy pile is down from $30 (which it was when I started) to about $10. And that's on a big week. I've stepped away from the big superhero stuff because of too many tie-ins, events, crossovers and what not to buying a lot more creator-owned stuff. No real reason than it's gotten to the point where I want to read what a writer has to say with their own creation as opposed to using Thor or Green Lantern.
The occasional superhero book still works its way into my hold every so often, so I'm not condemning the genre or anything, it's just that I'm bored with what's going on in them. There's always the chance that something will catch my interest and I'll be back in at any point, but hopefully by then the big two of Marvel and DC will have figured out a better system for digital, because as it stands now, buying a book on my iPad costs the same as buying a physical copy in the store, and if that's the case, I'd rather support the guys at Dr. Volt's and Black Cat rather than ComiXology.
But I digress. This post is supposed to be about how I went through all my long and short boxes and catalogued every comic I own. The decision that I came to is that I'm trying to get rid of most of them. There are a few runs that I probably won't be able to part with because they're not collected as well as I'd like and I may want to re-read them someday (i.e. Geoff Johns' FLASH run). Other than a select few, pretty much everything is available.
And by 'available' I mean, I'm selling them. I can't just give these to you. That would be ridiculous. But if you're interested, hit the jump and check out the full list of what I've got. If there's anything of interest to you, drop me an email and we'll talk.
It's not the greatest collection ever, but it's pretty good. It's kept me entertained for the better part of ten years.
