Stir the Pot Saturday: Week 42

By Jeff Hill Features 10/19/2013

Welcome back, everyone! Just a quick reminder of what our goal for each and every Saturday is: Stirring the pot is the act of causing trouble for the sake of your own amusement. So we here at Comic Booked would like to formally invite you to discuss, debate, and start some shit talkin’ about the characters, the creators, and the storylines given to us from the industry we all know and love, hate, and love to hate. So let’s quit wasting time and start the mud (or web) slinging!

This Saturday’s question: Where do you buy your comics?

Comic stores? Barnes & Noble? Digitally for your mobile device? A mom and pop bookstore? Online on Ebay, Amazon, or through another storefront? Through mail order subscriptions? Local comic shop? Frequent an online superstore once the comics become back issues? Or do you simply wait for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions for others to buy them for you?

So go forth and debate! But be sure to back up your responses. Don’t be scared. And don’t give up. After all, no one likes a quitter. And you’re not a quitter, are you?

Beyond Comics, Frederick, Maryland. I love a LCS where you can get to know the owner and employees and they treat you like a friend instead of just another customer.

I buy my comics each and every week (and have for years) from Trade a Tape/Comic Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. Great owner and the manager was the guy who got me into comics when I was a little kid just learning how to read. I also frequent Barnes & Noble for my trade paperback needs, but only because they offer such great discounts. I only buy digital comics if I am on a deadline and have to read a comic that sold out… Which is rare and unfortunate.
