    comic shop experience always


    me going in:
    "alright im only buying those two issues and nothing more because im saving money for important things"

    guy at the shop mid-conversation:
    "hey this issue looks neat i think youd like it"

    me:
    "cool i'll buy the whole series."

    me leaving
    "im so so so stupid"

    also i got an aquaman rebirth variant cover by mistake and that kinda destroys me inside. i was too distracted by my excitement at getting the shops last copy to consider it maybe being a variant cover.

    This is the exact way I feel about anything and everything I see when shopping. I only ever intend to just get the one cheap pair of headphones, so I guess I should just buy every variation of the most expensive ones. That might be overselling it a bit but same process.

    I've never been very knowledgeable when it comes to comic books. I did enjoy reading them as a kid but I've never actually gone to a comic book shop. At least you'll have a good amount of reading material for a while ... or not, depending on how fast you can blast through an issue.

    You could become the comic book hero of comic book heroes. Though I think Deadpool might have already taken that slot. You could open a nerd cafe and have all your comics out on display ... well, except for the rare ones. Those are for personal use only. Hmm. Just have fun with your comics I guess. As long as you get enjoyment out of them then it's a dollar well spent ... or twenty ... forty ... umm.

    Sounds similar to mine.
    I go in with my budget of 50 bucks (thank god for my discount).
    I leave with 70 dollars of the current week's release, 20 dollars of the previous week's releases, and probably another 7 issues of a series I didn't want to keep up with originally but am now all over.
