(And sadness/envy; I had to go to a wedding Wondercon weekend so I couldn’t do anything Arrow related.)

That’s awesome to hear, I think I’ll try for a signing, then. Thanks for the info, and we hope to see you, too! You should try to make it to the Multiple Man meetup, if you aren’t already. :D

Hope to have the chance to meet some of you guys there :)

I was pleased to see it. I’m just hoping that she survives Avengers Arena and can move over to this title in the future. I seriously miss her interactions with Jubilee and Storm.

Just not sure it will work on TV. Kinda takes the awe out of it.

]]> Comment on The Problem with the Pull List by Kam http://girlsreadcomics.com/2013/02/23/the-problem-with-the-pull-list/#comment-13020 Kam Mon, 27 May 2013 01:59:03 +0000 http://girlsreadcomics.com/?p=4417#comment-13020 As far as comic pile-up, digital is a little too easy to have the same thing happen. Especially when DC has it’s regular 101 & now 201 sales you can end up with a lot of comics you never going to be able to catch up with. As a long time buyer and now seller of comics I have seen a lot of this… as good as it is for my business to have a customer bring up 50-60 titles every week I have to wonder what’s actually being read. I love the medium that comics are and more than anything else I like being able to put a comic in someone’s hand or simply sell good books. While I appreciate the collecting side I always advise customers if you’re not actually reading a certain book, drop it. Culling is good for the soul and your bank account. It’s been my experiences of Standing Orders/Pull-Lists customers that add and add more comics until it obviously becomes too much. Their return trips become less frequent; when they come in they only pick up so much of their stack until they simply don’t come back at all because it’s all become too much. So we lose a customer and they lose that joy that they at one time had with the product/experience. Never be afraid to drop a title if you’re not reading it or enjoying… or just need to reign the whole thing it back in. No it’s not always easy, but it is rewarding.

Thanks for sharing this comic Married To The Sea, I’ve never followed it but I’m bookmarking it and will give it another go!

A good friend of mine has a comic series, he’s stopped with his new gig, but he still illustrates and hopefully will come up with another series.

This is his link: (but they’re in spanish, he’s from Panama!)

I kind of liked that both the story and the art evolved as the creator got more involved in it. I have a huge soft spot for works that are based on people just having fun. I’m definitely excited to see what happens next and glad to see that I am not alone!

Reading it in book form, you can really see how it starts out as kind of an off the cuff thing – she did it based on her and some friends – but then it grows into something bigger than that. The art kind of changes, the storyline and world-building settle in. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

My apartment is tiny and there’s just no place for me to store all the comics I tend to read. I specifically got an IPad to read comics on it, with the thought that I could put the comics I finished reading onto my external hard drive when I’m done with them. (Because I want to keep them!) I just found out that I can’t put them on a hard drive and if comixology goes out of business, any comics I’ve deleted are pretty much lost to me. Now I’m torn. I think that’s messed up. I bought the comic. I should own my copy of the comic. *sigh* I do enjoy reading the comics on the IPad. The guided view is awesome and the art looks beautiful. If I get out of Chicago and get a normal sized living area, I think I’d go back to the printed copy though. I enjoy visiting my local comic book shop.
