August Prognosis: Comics Overdose
Holy cow. DCBS, like all good pushers/dealers, really knows how
to work its clientele. I try to maintain what I laughably call a
comics "budget" each month, doing my best to stay within $100.
But DCBS is running so many tempting specials, I have a feeling I'm
going to be casting aside all restraint this month.
For example, I was thinking I'd try out one of the new manga in DC's
CMX line, but
DCBS is
offering all three debut titles at 65% off, so I'll probably check them
all out at $3.48 apiece. And I already knew I was going to get
the
Superman: Man Of Tomorrow Archives, so DCBS offering
it at 45% off only sweetens the deal...and leaves me with enough money
left over that I start thinking that maybe I'll check out that
DC
Comics Rarities Archives Vol. 1, also offered at 45%
off. Titles that I was on the fence about (such as Kurt
Busiek's
JLA or Ed Brubaker's
Authority)
start to look a lot more appealing at 50% and 75% off,
respectively. Heck, DCBS's discounts are so good that I'm even
considering buying a
comic
written by Mark Millar. (Well, maybe not. On second
thought, that money would probably be better spent on the
Marvel
Visionaries: Jack Kirby hardcover, or any of the various manga
titles such as
Boys Be or
Hyper Rune, all
at 50% off. Just because things are a good deal doesn't mean one
should abandon all taste, after all.)
Lots of other great specials at the site (including the first wave of
DC/Rebellion trades, the
Little Lulu reprint digest, the second
Walking Dead trade, and much, much more), so check it out.
Why should I be the only one brought down by irresistible bargains?
